    Wine!
    Pete R.

    We went here with a Groupon. Probably one of the best Groupon deals ever. Two tastings of 4 wines and two bottles of wine. The owner came out and chatted with us, told us a little history of where they get their wines. The wines were great. We will be back again and are looking at their website to order wines https://www.northwestcellars.com

    Tasting selection of four wines of your choice
    Rachel L.

    Don't let the area fool you. This is a little gem stuck back in a strip mall that to the eye doesn't look great. With their wine tasting ($10), we tried four wines off of their menu. They had a nice selection of reds, whites and a rose. Our experience was great. The staff was friendly and helpful, even bringing two more wines for me to try after my original four. All of the wines were delicious. I ended up buying a bottle of the Malbec (surprise! Usually I'm a white drinker). When I left I realized they only charged me for the bottle I bought and no tasting fee. Even with large tasting portions and two extras! Plus the Malbec was on sale and under $20. I will come back.

    Wine tasting with information cards
    Maddy Y.

    We were impressed with the Excellent 4 wines tastings that included information cards. The cards had landscape pictures that is quite unique and wine details. Bob is very knowledgeable about wines and available to answer questions.. We learn about the chocolate and wine pairing event in October and booked the event without hesitation. Looking forward to the local hand made chocolates! It's a treat to support our local business.

    An absolutely fantastic place! We went on Valentine's Day for a tasting and had the best time. Everything from the service to the selection was A++++. Everyone was kept at a distance and all covid protocols were followed. They have something for everyone with their extensive selection & they're always there to help you narrow down which to try. The Fortissimo was my absolute favorite- I highly recommend trying that one! Will definitely be back again!

    The wine was great and the people who work there are so nice! The atmosphere was in limbo due to a flood, but they're making the best of the situation. I look forward to going back in the future!

    My mother bought my partner and I tickets to a wine tasting fundraiser at Northwest Cellars. The event raised money for the International Essential Tremor Foundation (IETF). My mother suffers from essential tremors, as does the owner of Northwest Cellars, Bob Delf. She was excited to help a good cause, while giving us the opportunity to meet someone who has a similar medical condition. All proceeds of the wine tasting went directly to IETF, in addition to 40% off sales of two specific bottles. Northwest Cellars is hidden behind the Totem Lake Mall in an industrial-looking area. Luckily, they had signs with arrows to follow in order to find the small strip mall shop. Once you step inside, you forget about its bland location. Award ribbons and metals cover the front wall (if you don't believe, see all the awards listed here: http://www.northwestcellars.com/wines/awards.html). A tasting bar is found to the left, while a large room with a piano and local artist paintings decorating the walls can be found to the right. Bob participates in many different fundraisers of interest like IETF and for pets like Kirkland's Humane Society, Dogs of Kirkland. Wine tasting is normally $5, however, this fee is refunded when a bottle purchase is made. A tasting includes 5 of their award-winning wines. You can choose from red or white. All of their bottles feature custom labels with local art, in addition to fundraiser labels when appropriate. My partner and I really enjoyed two of the reds, Intrigue (lighthouse image) and Petite Syrah (Yakima Valley image), while I poured down my favorite white, the Viognier (Snipe Mountains image). If you would like to give a specific bottle as a gift, they allow you to create your own custom labels (perfect idea for business gifts or weddings) and provide shipping! Check out Northwest Cellar's events on their webpage (http://www.northwestcellars.com/events.html). If you become a fan of their wines, you have the option to join their text list or Cellar Rats Club. You'll be the first to hear about their Happy Hours. Better yet, Yelpers can take advantage of the $15 for $25 Yelp Deal!

On a nice day, sitting out on the patio with their live music playing makes for a perfect afternoon or evening. It has a wonderfully welcoming, low-key energy that makes it easy to actually sit back and enjoy a great conversation.

They feature a massive selection of wines, as a go-to neighborhood spot for finding unique bottles. What's great about here is you can order food from restaurants nearby or bring your own while you enjoy some wine The atmosphere is relaxing, especially if the weather is nice and you can sit out on their outdoor patio right near the water. They host a lot of live music events, and catching a performance during a beautiful sunset makes the experience truly amazing. To round it all out, the staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. I definitely recommend this place! Whether you want to grab a great bottle to go or just sit back, relax, and listen to some live music by the water, it's a must-visit in Kirkland.

We were greeted by a somewhat responsive human who immediately needed our first name, last name, and email address before we could even get settled. At one point I was thinking, "I'm sorry, should we have scanned a QR code and filled out an application before entering?" After waiting a few minutes, we were finally seated, but the service didn't get much warmer. Our server barely made eye contact with us, and overall the staff just seemed uninterested in engaging with their guests. Ironically, the only time we really saw employees smiling was when they were talking to each other. Maybe this atmosphere works for some people, but when I visit a winery, I'm looking for something welcoming, personable, and enjoyable. This felt more like a transaction than an experience. Unfortunately, we won't be returning or recommending it. Mark Ryan Nextdoor was way more pleasant!

    05/24/2026 TASTING…read moreROOM I loved visiting this winery and can't believe I didn't the few other times I traveled to Seattle. They do a summer concert series, and it was the first one of the season. My friend and I got there early, and only one other group had started lining up for VIP. So we went to the tasting room and grabbed seats at the bar. They were offering a $30 "Take Away Flight" with both red and white wine options. I got three reds and the white that they promoted for the summer concert series. All of them were pretty good. I loved how the wine flight was presented (see photo). I would definitely go back just to hang out at the winery next time and drink more. SUMMER CONCERT SERIES I thought the concert would be well organized since this isn't their first time. However, the staff seemed lost when it came to when and where the VIP check-in would be. We had Soundcheck VIP tickets for Yellowcard, and didn't get to go in until like 45 minutes after the scheduled time. So that cut into the VIPs' early entry time. Fortunately we got to the merch tables right before they let general admission in. There were plenty of porta potties. A decent amount of food options. We got a burger and chicken fingers & fries. Of course they offered wine, as well as beer. You also had the option to buy wine bottles at the winery and bring it into the concert area. We sat front row, which had a great view, but it was also right in front of a walkway, so that was a bit annoying. Watching soundcheck and the concert itself was very fun. Overall a good experience, and I would go back!

Michelle is nice, but don't expect a true wine-tasting experience. The staff rushes you from the moment you arrive and tells you how long you have the table before you even sit down. They don't seem very enthusiastic about the wines, don't show you the bottles, and don't seem very knowledgeable about what they're serving. The food was actually great, but our server even asked us to go to the front to order it. Overall, the service felt very rushed and unorganized. The place was packed and seemed overbooked. I would skip it if you're looking for a relaxed, enjoyable wine-tasting experience.
