I think my favourite part though was the wonderful service from Anya. We're used to Seattle's cold mannarims but this young lady was so sweet! When it got busy, she was ON IT and so courteous and friendly to every person there. We had a great time and will definitely have to come back.

The wine is worth a bottle purchase but the upsell really gets you bc its like how can I justify $30 sips. Then you trick your brain to pretend it's $30 off and a free tasting but it ends up being $90.

We didn't need reservations, we were able to get helped and seated right away. The two hosts were helpful and friendly. They don't offer food, so you are able to bring your own.

As soon as we arrived Chris ( one of the owners and wine maker) had an incredible spread of local cheeses and crackers laid out for us. He offered those who were not drinking a juice. He then started to go through the different wines. Provided us with what they do to make the wines and much more. Marti showed up who is the other owner and wine maker. She helped with the wine tasting, provided us an update on what they're doing and let me tell you they are above the curve on what they offer. No other wineries are doing the same thing. They've been incredible with the challenges that they may have faced but the wine is awesome. Then we sat around and we're able to talk like a large family and friends, try different wines and both Chris and Marti drank with us. Like I said they are unique and that's what makes this winery a great choice. You aren't going to get this same experience from the other wineries around. Love this place.. Before I forget we were blessed to have a sample tasting of the 2021 Sea Rows Blanc de Noir and let me tell you, get it while it lasts :)

I'm taking this place down a couple stars for a few reasons. 1. They charge $5 for a tasting. Most places in Washington (outside of Woodinville) don't charge you for tasting, and if they do they waive it if you buy a bottle. Not here - you get charged no matter what. 2. They will not go the extra step to make a sale. They assume everything they have is wonderful (it's not) and you should buy it irrelevant to whether you've tried it. We love wine tasting, exploring new wineries and vineyards and most places we go we've found that once you've started a nice conversation with your pourer and they realize you actually want to taste wine and not get drunk, and then buy wine, they'll give you a couple more options if you're interested. Not here - what you see it what you get. 3. It's over-priced. The wines were average for Washington State, but they were charging high-end prices. I don't know of many wineries in Washington that are selling their malbecs for more than $20 a bottle.

Absolutely terrible wedding experience. I really don't want to say bad things about my own wedding,…read moreI would much rather just think of it fondly, however I don't want this to happen to anyone else either. We had a small ceremony and reception in August 2015, with 35 guests that were all family members. We were told that we would have use of the property until 11pm, at which point all guests had to leave, and then ourselves and our staff had to be gone at midnight. This corresponds to all information that our vendors had regarding timing. At 830pm, the property manager turned off our extremely quiet music, and began insulting our guests and staff and telling them that they had to leave. There was absolutely no grounds for her to do this; we had done nothing wrong and were following all property rules. This unfortunate end to the night came on top of an incident involving a large black poodle from the property attacking one of our guests, and the property being shown to other prospective clients during our ceremony! Overall the experience with the property manager ended on a very sour note with our whole family and our staff. It is a great shame because the property itself was perfect, and it was otherwise such an amazing and beautiful day. We had reached out to the manager in several emails for an explanation, and to speak to the owners, but never got a response. I really hope that the owners can do something to rectify the situation.
