Brian Carter Cellars Tasting Room and Bistro

Our new favorite winery in Woodincreek Village!
They said “award for best chef” and they weren’t kidding. Our appetizers were everything and more and paired perfectly with our signature tasting. It’s so rare to have a tasting flight that I actually loved all the wines in. Took home a bottle of their white from the signature tasting list. Was soooo good!!
Recommend the hamachi and chefs choice of cheeses. The point Reyes bleu cheese was out of this world. Perfect for a light Sunday lunch. Patio was perfect. We came a little before the music but was still just as nice❤️ thank you to our server Jeff. So knowledgeable about the wines and explained them so well. Can’t wait to come back!

Very friendly service. Jeff was very knowledgeable of the wines, regions, grapes and vintage. He explained every wine in my tasting menu with details beyond the printed menu.

I went for the traditional tasting menu. My favorite was the TuttoRosso (all red in italian).. a Tuscan based blend with Sangiovese, Cab and Syrah from PNW. Brian Carter is renowned for their blends. On their tasting menu, the reds have an Italian based, a Spaniard based and a French based blend. So give them a try.

We came for wine with intentions to go somewhere else for dinner. The live music, service and food menu made us stay here. The charcuterie and cheese table was phenomenal. Very generous portions of cheese! The grilled octopus on a tomato and fava beans bed was very tasty. Our pana cotta was as good as in Italy.

We sat on the patio and enjoyed live music, people watching and a surprisingly nice long afternoon that made us wonder why we have not come here more often!

The food is spectacular! We will be back.

Went here for tasting. Great wine and nice service!

Had another fabulous inspiring inventive meal at Brian Carter Cellars from award winning Chef Nicholas Ames. Mussels bisque matched with Désir and Cherry-Allspice Panna Cotta with Opulento, a tawny port style dessert wine.

My favorite hangout for superb wine, outstanding food and the occasional acoustic music. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive and engaging. Personal favorite wine is a bottle of Tuttorosso to accompany Chef Nick Ames delicious and attractive plates. Nick updates his menu every week and the food is a bargain for the quality of his offerings.

Such a sweet and quality place. The food is fresh and simple, but gorgeous! Very fresh and delicious. Great wine, I love the award winning white wine.
Nayab is the literal angel of this establishment, she made us feel so at home. This is an amazing place to taste some wine and be merry!

We went to a wine tasting with wine club members and had lunch with them. It was phenomenal to have a delicious lunch along with wine tasting. We enjoyed our experience and hope to return again soon!

Outstanding experience at the tasting room. The selection of wines is impeccable, and the gourmet dishes perfectly complement the flavors. Service was top-notch, truly a must-visit destination for any wine lover

Amazing food and wine!

Beautiful little venue with friendly staff and an excellent menu. Definitely check out their live music nights!

Brian Carter wines have always stood out because his wines are all blends. Twenty years ago I thought blends were what you did when one of the wines wasn’t so good. Little did I know the genius behind the craft of blending wines but not all blends are created equally. Take Brian Carter wines. His blends score in the 90s and win awards because of the quality of the wines he uses in each blend. From the white wine Oriana, whose luscious mouth feel and slight fruit refresh your palate on a warm spring day. To my favorite Le Coursier which delivers a full yet not overbearing red Cherry notes that is a hat tip to the beautiful WA state Merlot that makes up 61% of this blend. Now we know old world wines are meant to be paired with food and BC cellars new tasting rooms don’t forget this. The Albacore crudo is perfect with the Oriana and the duck confit is amazing with Ake Coursier or Trentenaire. Of course any wine goes with the house charcuterie plate. Transport yourself to the old world without hopping a plane. A staycation in Woodinville awaits.

Every wine we had was great. They were laid back. The winemaker himself even came up and chatted with our table for a bit. Joined the club. Will be back.
