Great range of wines that'll please everyone. My friend and I visited Covington Cellars and had a nice time here. Located in the north industrial area of Woodinville, it's easy to spot with its large tent, that had a handful of tables and was busier than other tasting rooms nearby. We made a reservation via e-mail, which the staff responded soon after, indicating that they were dog-friendly. Specifically, if you come here as a passport holder, they have specific hours for passport holders, so recommendations are strongly recommended if you have the passport. After checking in, we were provided a passport tasting menu, so I assume that differs from other tasting menus they may have. Either way, I enjoyed what they offered on the passport tasting menu. We tried four wines, starting with a rose and three reds. The rose was nice, and liked that it wasn't too sweet. It had a nice balance of dry and fruity. The reds were good, but my favorite was the cab franc. It was very bold, savory and robust, which is how I like my wines. I highly recommend trying the cab franc here! Staff checked in with us, to make sure our glass wasn't empty for too long. They have two adorable dogs who hang out with guests, which I loved! Overall, we had a nice time here and is worth a visit if in the area. read more

One of my favorite wineries in Woodinville! The staff is very nice, and very informative. Loved all of the wines we tried. I highly recommend signing up for a tour. Wonderful experience! On the tour we learned a lot and got to try 6 wines. The chardonnay was my favorite. They have a few very sweet dogs roaming around too :) always a bonus! read more

Dog friendly, which is great. They also have dogs there themselves which is nice. They honored the Wine Pass, which is good and didn't treat Pass holders any different than any other customers. They also partnered with a BBQ food truck that was onsite and who made great BBQ that paired well with the wines. Highly recommend it! The wines were very good, and a good value too. Our favorite was the Sangiovese, but their Red Blend, Cab Franc and Rose were also great. The vinter is a Navy man and it's nice to support our vets. All in all this place was amazing. Will be back. read more

Wine is great and their member events are super fun. They used to have a big kids play area which was honestly one of the biggest draws for us since we have a toddler. They renovated and luckily still have a kids area but took out some of the bigger toys which was kinda sad. read more

We stopped by with the Woodinville 2018 Passport my wife bought for me last Christmas. It's now November and today is the first time we've been able to actually get out and use it. We were greeted with a notice that on July 28 Covington thought it necessary to change their offering for the program to a required 90 minute, pre-reserved tour. We pointed out briefly to the staff that we have two kids and it was tough enough to get babysitting - there was simply no way we could commit to focusing so much of our energy on their apparently very special winery. The attendant advised us that perhaps their winery was "not a good fit" and advised us to go elsewhere. I get that not every marketing program produces the conversion rate desired, but changing mid year is what's referred to as a "bait and switch" in sales parlance. The right way to handle this is to suck it up for a year and change the program (or eliminate it) for 2019. Thankfully there are many other wonderful Woodinville wineries who are willing to honor their commitments. Alas, it's now time for us to return to our children where we shall do our best to teach them how not to be so pretentious. read more

My daughter and I had the privilege of visiting this winery on Friday and we came away very pleased with the quality and the depth the winery has in their choice of whites. The two servers Annika and Jarad were personable and prepared. We asked many questions about the wine making process and both person's responses were accurate and showed their collective knowledge. I hope the owners know how important the server is when presenting the wine selection. Both Annika and Jarad were certified wine baristas. We will come back read more

Covington Cellars - My daughter and I - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Woodinville, Washington

I was going to be in Seattle visiting a friend and bought a TravelZoo deal for the cellar tour and tasting/food pairing. After purchasing, I went online to make my reservation for the weekend I was going to be in town, and they were already fully booked. I called, and Julianna was so unbelievably helpful and understanding that I was only in town this one weekend. She fit us into the schedule for the 4:30pm tour.... thanks again Julianna! As we were driving up we were actually a little nervous, as the place looked like a strip mall of wineries. Not necessarily what we were looking for.... but once we were inside it was quite different. NOT what I pictured based on the outside of the building. Soft lighting, great decor -- perfect atmosphere. The tour was given by the husband of the married couple who own Covington, and he is hilarious! Best tour given by a beer guy ever. After the tour they sat us down for the various wine tastings, and paired each wine with a small plate. Food was stellar (kudos to the chef), and the portions were way bigger than I was anticipating based on the price I paid and the description of the tour. I know there are several wineries in Woodinville, WA, but I would highly recommend Covington Cellars! Thanks guys! read more

Covington Cellars will always hold a special place in my heart January 2011, my boyfriend and I were doing a wine tour/tasting there, we had such an amazing experience & loved learning/trying all the varietals the food choices were fabulous as well! My boyfriend ended up asking my hand in marriage while we were on our tasting! (It was spontaneous, romantic and fun exactly what we are as a couple, he didn't even have the ring yet he did treat me to breakfast/ring at Tiffany's at UVillage the next day though!) We LOVE that fact that Covington Cellars has bottling parties, although we have yet to participate in one we love the thought (we reside in NYC now but eventually will be back to PNW) I can't wait to venture back to WA and experience more of what this winery has to offer & pick up several more bottles!! read more

Covington Cellars - Our last fabulous bottle of the wine we were drinking when we became engaged :) - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Woodinville, Washington

The Homemade Ricotta Gnudi is Absolutely breathtaking and Amazing!!! We also had the Grilled Cauliflower with whipped goat cheese (Amazing also!)! The wine pairing was perfect. The menu changes monthly so if this sounds good you need to be here in April 2014. It's located in a "light" warehouse district, and the feel is perfect for the ambience. They've made the restaurant / wine tasting room classy and welcoming! Can't wait to come again!! read more

Consider Covington Cellars the perfect place to pop your wine tasting cherry....once you find it (here's a hint, the buildings are alphabetized and their door (in building F) is marked with two C's). Three of my girlfriends and I snagged an awesome LivingSocial deal for a private tour and tasting at Covington. Their tasting room is beautifully decorated, a wonderful juxtaposition to the bland exterior. We were told that they often hold dinners and private parties to encourage guests to enhance their wines by pairing them with food - awesome. Don, our guide, was eager to answer our questions and chat about all things wine much to our liking. Unfortunately we sampled mostly red wines which I've yet to discover a passion for (hello wine-newbie) but the rose and ice wine we tasted were absolutely delicious. We even got to sample wines directly from the barrel to illustrate the differences in the fermentation process. We ended the tour with a sampling of different small bites, my favorite being the cubed watermelon and feta, which somehow blended together beautifully on the palate to refresh us after each sip of wine. We also sampled the cauliflower bisque and a sort of crostini topped with ricotta cheese and fig, all of which accented the wines in a different way. All in all, our first winery visit was a huge success, to which we owe Covington. Definitely a must-stop in Woodinville Wine Country! read more

Some friends and I visited Covington Cellars a couple of summers ago for an afternoon wine tasting. We liked the wine so much that when we recently saw a special on Living Social, we jumped at the opportunity and purchased coupons to attend a "Wine & Food Pairing Class" with cooking demos and five-course dinner. We have attended many wine pairing dinners (Andaluca, Herbfarm, Rover's) and were all very excited about attending the one offered by Covington Cellars. We carefully watched the online schedule for availability. Finally, the schedule worked for all of us and we signed up for a dinner. I would like to share my feedback concerning our dinner. First, I thought that the ambiance inside the winery was pretty nice; the production room and dining room with its large, roomy table and nice table settings were well appointed. The starter, soup, salad, main course, and dessert were all delicious and the portions were generous. Prior to each course, the chef did either a demo or had interesting food facts to share with us. The chef's talks were interesting and I did learn some new cooking techniques. The hostess who was leading the class certainly knows about wine and I learned useful facts about wine and food pairing from her, especially about which wines to pair with spicy foods. However, what I was highly disappointed in were the wine pours. Throughout the evening I kept asking myself, "Why, if Covington Cellars makes the wine, are they so stingy when it comes to serving their signature product to paying guests"? The wine pours were so tiny that after the last sip of each wine was gone, I was forced to finish my "wine pairing" with my water glass. Once the small amount of wine was gone, the server would simply remove the glass. The pours were nowhere near the "15ozs or three glasses of wine per person" noted in Cindy L.'s response to Yelp reviewer, CK H. of Woodinville on 2/19/2011 (CK H. described the wine pours as "teasers"). Even more inaccurate is Cindy L.'s claim that the large wine glass creates an "optical illusion" which leads guests to incorrectly believe that they are receiving small amounts. In her response to Yelp reviewer, Neil B., on 2/15/2012 she states, "We pour 3 oz of each wine for each course, with the exception of the entree course where we pour 5 ozs. Because guests receive five courses plus a greeting wine, this amounts to 21 oz of wine per person. A bottle of wine is 25 oz so we are actually pouring nearly an entire bottle of wine per person". Nearly a full bottle of wine per person? Really??? Several times during the meal I thought how nice it would be to be able to buy a bottle of wine for our end of the table, but then I thought, "Wait. Didn't I already purchase a wine dinner?" With the discounted price through Living Social, each of us paid $65 plus tax and tip. For this price, there are many other, much more enjoyable wine and food experiences to be had in the Seattle area. read more

A friend bought one of their "Afternoon in the Cellar" Groupons. The afternoon started off with a tasting of their rose as we waited for the tour to start. I do love a good rose and Covington Cellars has a pretty good one! We met the winemaker, Morgan, and he walked us through the history of the winery and the process of grapes to wine. We even got to taste some newly crushed grapes and half-fermented white and red wine. The half-fermented stuff was actually pretty tasty, sweet and slightly bubbly. After the tour, we sat down to a tasting of more wines paired with some small bites. All the wines tasted were reds. The food was pretty good; better than I was expecting it to be. They seem to have a good variety on the menu. I definitely want to try more food the next time I'm there. After our "lunch", the afternoon ended with a glass of another one of their reds. I really wish we got a cheat sheet of all the wines tasted as I can't remember everything that I had. Covington Cellars definitely has one of the best tours and the entire staff was friendly and open. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice relaxing day of drinking and eating. read more

Covington Cellars is one of several wineries located in an office park on the northeast corner of Woodinville. Having seen the set-up before, the location didn't surprise me. Once you get past the rather plain exterior, the winery is actually pretty nice inside. I came here recently on one of the many tours subsidized by local discount sites. Covington Cellars presented themselves honestly and without pretense, a rarity in the wine world, and that earns a lot of respect from me. They also have a great idea in keeping a chef on staff and offering actual food pairings. Promising beginnings, but the tour itself was a bit disorganized. The proprietors are really into the process of making wine and it shows; however, a good tour should have a certain pacing that keeps people's attention, and that just wasn't there. Ultimately, the wine sets the tone, and there were certainly some very good ones (I liked the syrah blend and the house red). Others missed the mark a little bit. The food pairings, while tasty and an excellent idea, were a bit overpowering for some of the wines. I'm glad I tried the wines first. Overall, a solid experience that exposed me to a few wines that I liked. The listed cost of the tour would have been a bit steep, so I'm glad I had the discount handy. A very promising beginning with some room for improvement. Recommended. read more

Covington Cellars donated a tasting event for a charity event hosted by futurewise.org, and my friends won their bid. It took us a while to find a time when we could all get together for the tasting, to say nothing of Covington's calendar full of similar tasting events. Incidentally, they are booked until next summer with charitable wine tastings. If you are able to win such a tasting, you are in for a treat. Sampling their cabarnet sauvignon from the barrel is amazing. Notes of brown sugar, vanilla and cherry fill your senses--and that's before you even take a sip! David and Cindy know their wines and they love answering questions. I never pictured myself being such a geek about wine, but damn if it wasn't interesting. I learned how to better pair my food choices and how to best enjoy wine. I've been inclined to take out-of-town friends to Chateau Ste Michelle for tastings because of the estate, but their wines are God awful. I won't lie to you. Covington Cellars doesn't have the estate or physical presence of Ste Michelle, but their wines are fantastic. Take your friends and family, visiting or no, to their shop on Saturdays and enjoy a great cabarnet. Just fantastic people all around, truly. read more

Did the Wine & food tasting on Wednesday night via a Groupon deal. It was a 5-course, delicate, delicious, and thoughtful dinner with wine pairing and pairing / cooking education. I seriously learned as much about cooking as I did wine pairing. It was an excellent deal and their 2007 Prima Miscela is delicious. read more

I went here a few months ago for a wine tour and tasting with appetizer pairing with a friend. The location was a bit out of the way and hard to find considering it is not in the area where the major wineries are found. It is up in a more industrial-looking area in a business park. Once you are inside, the interior is very nice. The tasting room was a bit sterile but I liked seeing the other rooms on the tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, not to mention, cute! The main area where the wine is kept in barrels is beautiful, decorated with strings of lights. There were a few tables set up in the middle where we had our bites to eat along with our wine flights. I believe the price was around $50 for several pours and 4 or so mini-appetizers. The dessert bite was excellent. The rest of the food was good, too. I would recommend Covington Cellars to others looking for a tour but I do think the odd location detracts a bit from the experience. read more

I visited Covington Cellars this past weekend, which happened to be the occasion of a new wine release. The tasting fee included four wine samples along with exquisite food pairings, each one a match made in heaven. You don't know delicious until you've had a 2007 Cabernet Franc paired with a mini bison burger on a brioche bun with horseradish aioli and mustard greens. (That last sentence sounded so pretentious, I want to slap myself. Someone get me a PBR and a boat of fries, STAT!) Seriously though, the atmosphere at Covington is laid-back and welcoming, and on this day there were two happy Viszlas and another horse-sized pooch mingling with the visitors. My fave wines of the group were the Sangiovese and the "Josie" Rose. read more

A bit back, we ventured over the hill to Woodinville for a Saturday jaunt through the warehouse wineries and were excited to come upon Covington Cellars. I had read about their commitment to donating a portion of sales back to various charities associated with the armed forces, and was excited to give their wines a try. As we left the warehouse asphalt parking lot and entered the warm tasting room, we were greeted by the friendly year old winery black lab, Lola - in my book, this is always a good sign that you have found a place that is more friendly than pretentious. The wine maker and owner, David Lawson, greeted us next and spent about an hour telling us about his passion, the Covington wines, tips for the home winemaker, and giving us a tour of the facility. All of the wines were very good (including a sneak peek of a yet released red), but our wine of the week is their 2005 Rough House Red, "A Tribute to Those Who Serve." A Bordeaux style blend of Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, and Merlot with an American Oak twist, was quite good and very well balanced. Only 110 cases of this wine was produced, so you know the focus is on quality and not quantity. We came home with a bottle of this to open up later and share with friends. We'll definitely be back to visit with David and Cindy and the good folks at Covington. read more

We're a wineclub member here and it's one of the best decisions we've made! The wine is excellent, it's great to be able to pop in for a free tasting every once in a while and we can bring our dog who is able to frolick with the assistant's wine dog Lola. For their wine releases and special events they always have the tastiest amuse bouche pairings. For Valentine's Day they released their newest Red Blend with a decadent little burger, a Cab Franc with a heavenly pistachio lamb skewer and the best finale with their new Starr Syrah paired with a gorgonzola chocolate truffle! I almost gave up my Valentine for that scrumptious treat! They also had their yummy, not too sweet Rose paired with a mini crab poor boy. This winery goes all out for each event, they are hospitable, dog friendly and their wines are spectacular! The new Cab Franc is to die for, full and smooth, so be sure not to miss it! The Starr Syrah, named after the winemaker's dog is always most excellent with it's berry accents and full finish. I'm definately going to have to go back and replenish the wines in this release for sure! read more

We did the Afternoon in the Cellar package and really enjoyed it. The winery is nice-looking and you get to peek at every stage of the process. The winemaker/co-owner himself took us around, and his enthusiasm for his craft clearly shows. The afternoon and the wine samples were well worth it. It's not cheap (we got our deal through LivingSocial), but it's a nice way to spend an afternoon. The biggest downside might be that the tour group was fairly large for such a small space - there were 12 or 14 people in our group, which made it pretty crowded sometimes. I would definitely recommend this as a good activity to do with out-of-town guests or as a surprise for a significant other. One more tip - the designated driver will need to be careful, and you might want to eat beforehand so the wine doesn't go straight to your head! read more

I like the idea out here, small winery with a little kitchen and good food, the execution was a bit off. The first thing was this place was hard to find. All the other wineries in the area had sandwich boards out directing us where to go, they didn't at the time. We came out for the cellar tour/barrel tasting with appetizers included. The tour was only OK. Nothing special... we just walked through a small warehouse with barrels and wine making machinery, kinda boring. The apps that they served were really good and they have a very talented chef. The wine and food pairing was not the best. They food tasted great, but I seemed to miss something. The told what we were having and kinda walked off. The wines are fine, but nothing special. read more

This was the first stop on our wine tasting trip. We had a three course wine paired lunch. The highlight of the lunch was the chocolate and gorgonzola truffle on a stick; heavenly. You couldn't taste the cheese (thank goodness). The owners were really nice. They spoke to the group about their experience running the winery, and you could just see their passion. The room we ate in would be perfect for a party. read more

As a part of our Barrel Wine Tour afternoon, this was our first stop. Wines served by the winemaker and we were able to ask questions and interact. We were given a tour of the facility and enjoyed the wines we sampled. A quiet low-key start to our tour. The 2013 Rough House was a unanimous favorite. read more

Did the groupon deal on a Wed night for wine/food pairing class. I like that they had you check in and personally seated us, but after asking us to wait to have someone seat us, it would have been nice to have them wait to begin the small class until we were actually assigned our seating. Food pairing and slide show about how to do it was good. The owner was the one that taught our class and I can't fault her knowledge. She was nice, and honest about what she likes/dislikes. I appreciate that. The portion where the cook came out and did a demo seemed a bit... ameraturish and disorganized to me though. Rather than pull from her experience, she spouted off internet facts which could/could not have been true. Since the course was on how to pair wines with meals it didn't worry me too much. I learned a little bit and she set us home with cheat cards. End of night billing could have been handled a bit better though. What you didn't find out until the end of the night was that tax was not charged on your initial purchase and it isn't waived so you had to pay that and for any additional wines you may purchase. Not much, but annoying. read more

I've been to Supper Club three times now and each time the food and wine has been fabulous. The short demos given during the meal have always been interesting and I've been able to take something away from them. Yes, this is a Boutique winery. Don't go expecting a fancy tasting room, or a lavish dinning room, frankly speaking they don't need it because the quality of the wine speaks for itself. If you find yourself in Woodinville and want a GOOD wine then search out Covington Cellars, you won't be disappointed. read more

My experience was skewed and review will reflect that. My friend is a member or subscriber or whatever you call it. In other words he spends a lot of money there, so we got special attention. The owners spent over an hour giving us wine tastings (mostly good), then barrel tastings (amazing), and then a tour of the facility. It was the best wine tasting experience of my life. Very cool. read more

6 of us had their Friday night dinner. This place is an absolute gem! Their menu is small which is released on Thursday (see their Facebook page) They only have a few tables so book a reservation quick. Priced at $18-$25 for entrees is a steal. This is arguably the best food in Woodinville. I had the meatloaf and both appetizers they offered (spring rolls and falafel) We shared a few bottles of wine which our server was very helpful selecting. I will check their menu every week! read more

This is by far my favorite winery in all of Woodinville. The wines are so delicious and the staff are hilarious! Thanks for the good times, I'll be coming back! read more

If you every find a Groupon or LivingSocial deal for a private tour and tasting at Covington, take it! Three of my friends and I did it last summer and it was one of the best wine tasting experiences I have had thus far. During the couple of hours we were there we probably drank a total of 3-4 full glasses of wine. The food pairings by the in-house chef were excellent. I had the perfect experience of discovering what food and wine pairings truly mean. 2011 Sangiovese was the best. We each bought a bottle. And we all got another LivingSocial deal for an Afternoon in the Cellars. read more

The best Cab Franc in the WORLD! Seriously, the wines are prefectly balanced and pair well with food. Covington Cellars is one of the only wineries in Woodinville that realizes pairing food with wine in the tasting room is what sells wine. Their Chef creates incredible small bite plates to enhance their wine. Who wouldn't want to try and replicate what the Chef created for thier own guests? Believe me, the Cab Franc is the best in the WORLD! read more

We attended the $130 per person "Wine and Food pairing class". It sounded like a wonderful event. But it turned out that we were deeply disappointed. Here are our experiences: 1. The location was a little difficult to find. It was kind of "back alley" of an industrial/office park area. Not attractive at all. Once we found the door and went inside, it was better. People were pretty nice. The room was decorated well. 2. The dining table top looked nice. But it was just two table tops sitting on sawhorses made of very rough wood. The 2 tables were not exactly the same height. One of our assigned seats was at the center where the 2 tables meet. The other seat was exactly at the wide and rough table leg. Besides there was very little room to put my legs, the sawhorse was so rough. We didn't realize it until we got home that my wife's nice hosiery was torn by the sawhorse. I thought if they charge $130/person for the event, there's got to be real dining table for it. 3. The cooking demos were Mickey Mouse plays. The chef seemed like a nice person. But she really did not teach much at all. The demo table was not well lit. It was also at a much higher level than our seats. It was like attending a cooking demo through a radio. 4. The 5 course dinner sounded nice until you went through it. The portions were like McDonalds' kids meal sizes. I think the owners are probably living in a 3rd world poverty. We are not big appetite persons but we left the place with growling tummies. Besides, we thought the $130 price should be able to afford something other than potatoes and chicken. It wouldn't cost us $1.30 to have potatoes and chicken at home (and they will taste better too) for that kind of portions. Only the first course was nice with 1 scallop. The 2nd course was a shallow bowl of potato soup. It was so shallow that a paper boat will not be afloat. 3rd one came a 2-bite green salad. The entrée was 2 small strips of dry chicken tenders on top of a scoop of mashed potato. The dessert of molten chocolate cake was a failure for a "chef". It was only a chocolate cake; no flowing lava at all. I saw almost all guests licked their plates clean - because there is no more foods offered. 5. The wines were given as "wine tasting" portions as teasers. They were not actively offering refills. When the glass was empty, they basically just took the glass off the table. We don't see their wines were better than others either. 6. At the end of the meal, the waitress Jan made sure that we are aware they expected extra tips (you need to pay tax at this time too). For the amount of the tips, we could have had a good dinner somewhere else, and we won't go home hungry. Overall, we see this as a terrible value for the price. If you want to taste their wines, just do that for $5. Save your rest of money and go somewhere else for a real nice dinner. read more

We (two couples) attended the Thursday night "Wine & Food Pairing Class" on February 2, 2012 at Covington Cellars. The venue is basically a steel garage in a light industrial/business park. There is an open barrel room and an inviting dining room, complete with a very nice, long wood table. There were 16 diners at the table that evening. 5 courses of food were prepared in the adjacent kitchen, each being introduced by Chef Trinity. The food was quite good and the portions were more than adequate. Unfortunately, we were served miniscule amounts of the 5 various wines (about one and a half ounces of each wine). Throughout the evening, the hostess (who did not taste the wines along with us, but rather always held up a full glass of rosé as she spoke) instructed us to taste each wine and then try the pairing with the food. Given that there were approximately 2 sips per glass, after the initial taste, very little wine was left to enjoy with the dishes. I should note that there was one woman who did receive a decent pour each time; it was once announced to the table that, "This is how our wine club members are treated". By the end of the evening, the rest of us (i.e. non-Covington Cellars wine club members) had received in total less than one small glass of wine. Perhaps the most awkward moment of the evening was when a gray-haired male employee (perhaps one of the owners?) came out from the back of the room and speaking to one of the servers, but facing the guests' table, loudly announced, "Somebody (implying, one of you losers sitting at my table) parked 6 inches from my car door. I can't believe it! 6 inches!" He repeated it a second time and then stomped out of the room and out into the parking lot. This rude gentleman's behavior wasn't something we had expected when we had purchased what the website touts as "a class with class". The Thursday Wine & Food Pairing Class is listed on the winery website at $179 (plus tax and gratuity), i.e. roughly $222 per person. The hostess mentioned that this winery does a healthy business hosting many corporate events. However, it should be noted that these dinners are really not for the individual who is seeking both value and a quality food/wine experience...and especially not at the current price point. read more

Our second year with our passport and second visit to Covington. I guess they decided to do wine tasting tours for passport holders. We were there right around the time of the tour and they happily accepted us into the tour without any prior reservations. What an awesome experience. Got to speak with the wine maker, sampled various stages of the wine making process and ended the tour with a sit down of tastings and small bites to eat. They really did a nice job with their tour. Just be informed to make reservations online ahead of time as they could fill up. Great place to bring friends new to wine tasting. We always buy a bottle from here. Give them a try. read more

Liked it! Very friendly staff and decent wine, good experience.

$5 for 4 tastes. Nice lady who runs it, was fun, they do charity dinners and the like and have a nice scene going on.

My daughter and I had done some wine tasting down the street, and were hungry.( The owners of the Kaella winery actually sent us down to Covington.) I wasn't crazy about the parking lot/ industrial buildings of ANY of these wineries, although the win tasted quite good.... Anyway, the food tasted amazing- my daughter had the falafel and I had beef skewers. The side dishes and sauces were all very tasty. I appreciated how they left a full carafe of water on the table- I drink a lot of water! ;-) My only complaints would be that they had no green salad of any kind on the menu, and the young skinny waitress (behind the counter?) was not overly friendly....the staff did not seem overly professional ,with the exception of one older lady, who could have been the owner maybe? read more

OK, so I personally am not a fan of their wines, it is still a nice place to visit. Nice facilities, wonderful staff, certainly should be included on your winery journeys in the area. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect with our wine dinner last night at Covington Cellars. Were all the people who gave it 4 and 5 stars affiliated with the business and giving them a pass? Were the people who gave it one star overly picky or did the winery just have a bad night? Has the event improved over time from a rather bleak affair to a fine one? Having wined and dined at Covington Cellars last night our group is definitely in the 4-5 star category. It was really an outstanding event considering the special rate we got through Travelzoo (I think $79/person + tax and tip). We have spent much more for similar events and received considerably less. It exceeded our expectations. In every respect this was a well done event. The winery tour was interesting, the cooking demo nicely done, the wine quite good and they poured plenty, and the food was really outstanding. So outstanding that the women wanted the recipes and several in our group joined the wine club. If you are looking for negatives it is a little hard to find, the dining room is nothing fancy... in the room where the wine is stored and thus it can be a little cold so wear something warm. Unless the scope of your adventures is pretty much limited to Four Seasons kind of establishments we would definitely recommend. We enjoyed so much that everyone in our group is now signed up for a wine blending plus wine dinner event next year! read more

We went a couple weeks ago on our wine tour, and honestly I chose this location because they were offering appetizers with each tasting. To my delight, the wine was wonderful! The pairings were perfect and we met the owners who were super friendly. I'm impresed by their dedication to making great wines. I'll surely be back! read more
