Sad to report a rather rude experience with the guy behind the counter. Came in with a couple of female friends to purchase wine. They each wanted to purchase 2 bottles, total of 4. We came to Olympic Cellars because they know i like to support local wine makers. No tastings, just walk in, walk out normal retail transaction. The first woman purchased 2 bottles at retail prices, and tipped $15. Her mom purchased 2 bottles of wine, but didn't tip any further. The guy taking their money made a rude comment about not getting a tip. The guy expected an additional tip essentially paying him $30 to sell them some wine. So help me understand. I buy wine at a liquor store, the clerk doesn't expect a tip. i buy wine at a grocery store, the clerk doesn't expect a tip. I buy wine at Costco, the staff doesn't expect a tip, but i will give you a good tip, Costco sells a lot of great wine, and atleast one three varietal red blend from Napa for under $10. So why would i pay a guy in a retail transaction a tip? I get it if we were there, tasting wine, chatting him up. Which is what all the wineries on the Olympic Peninsula should realize is their business. It's an experiential thing. There are a million better wines out there, but people want a pleasant tasting room experience from friendly and knowledgeable staff, with an occasional glimpse of the winemaker. It's a nice tasting room, and i use to come here a lot as a member, but since the lock down, it's lost something. i hope they find it. read more

Olympic Cellars - three bottles of wine and a wine bag - Wineries Near Me - Port Angeles, Washington

The wine was delicious and if you aren't sure about what to get, you can always get the wine flight, which is what my fiancé and I got. We got a total of three different types of wine. Red, White and Rose. They are presented in this basket with 2oz of each wine in each cup. The cashier was very knowledgeable of every wine that is available and was more than happy to assist us with any of our questions. The Winery itself is more of a barn and the outside is decorated with tables and chairs for any vibe you like. They have wooden tables and chairs or they have a couch style seating around a bonfire. We were very happy and would happily visit this place again. read more

SERVICE: 4 FOOD QUALITY: N/A DRINK QUALITY: 5 ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 5 NOISE LEVEL: 5 MENU SELECTION: 3 OVERALL EXPERIENCE:4.5 As we made our way back to port Townsend after a long trip into the national park we drove past this winery, and decided to visit. They don't have a very large menu, but the reviews on what they did have looked good enough to try a flight. The host was nice, and polite. Service was limited but still pleasant. I ordered the flight with Pinot, Lemberger and the working girl white. All were delicious. I fell in love with the working girl white. I wound up buying a bottle. The outdoor patio was perfect, and the weather was even better. Was such a delightful afternoon before a very long and grueling drive home. Overall this place, was very cozy, quite, and has a superb product. A definite must go if you're in the area. read more

Wonderful local winery with cute relaxing tasting areas (indoor and outdoor options) and solid wine offerings! The old barn is massive and a cool site to see in itself, along with an historical wooden bar inside the tasting room. The 3, 2 oz pours for $10 are served on a cute wrought iron holder that you could take outdoors if you like. We liked the covered comfy seating by the fire pit table, there were heat lamp options as well. In summer, the lawn will be open for picnic shows. The Reds- we only tried reds and I really enjoyed their seasonal Pinot Noir, as well as the fuller bodied Dungeness blend signature wine that tasted perfected as well. We were impressed and hope to bring guests to this wonderful spot, right off the 101... that we all drive by a million times, so glad to have finally stopped in. Kind staff to boot, so check it out! read more

We saw this little winery on our way to Olympic National Park, so naturally we had to stop by before heading back to Seattle! They have a small selection of wines but they are all very good. For $10 you can taste 3 wines of your choice (2 oz pours of each). They also sell wines by the glass/bottle and snacks to go along with your wine. Their seating is outside and they even provide cute little glass carriers to get your tasting glasses to and from the shop. If you're in the area and enjoy wine, I'd recommend at least a quick stop here. You won't be disappointed!! read more

This winery was right up the road from our Airbnb so we figured we'd stop by to reup our wine supply. They were very friendly but I found the tasting weird. They didn't describe the wines to you and not everything they had was available to pick from. We picked our three to try off a list of maybe 9 wines and went outside to their seating area. The barn is lovely but looking out over fields of homes and listening to the highway wasn't ideal. As a red wine lover I was shocked at how much I liked the working girl wine, which seemed to be their signature wine. I wasn't as into the Zinfandel, which is typically something I really enjoy. We bought two bottles of their Syrah, one regular and one petite. They turned out to be better than any of the ones we'd tasted! I wish we could have tasted all their reds, we probably would have bought more. read more

Wonderful wine and view to unwind after hiking Olympic! We loved all the information they gave us about each wine! read more

Olympic Cellars - Wineries Near Me - Port Angeles, Washington

After a day spent in Port Angeles from Seattle I was looking for a local winery to grab a drink before heading home. I came across Olympic and sure am glad I stopped. I walked in and was immediately greeted by the two wonderful ladies behind the bar, Maria and Sam! Maria gave the full run down of all the wines that had to offer. I opted for a flight, which is 3 two oz pours of your choice. I ordered the Chardonnay, cab franc and the winemakers signature. After my tasting, I ordered a glass of the rosé. These two ladies are nothing short of amazing. They have me all the recommendations for restaurants in the area as well as great hiking spots. I initially went to sit outside but walked back in just to continue chatting with them. They both are amazingly great people and seem to love working there! Overall, all the wines were delicious but the two that stood out for me were the rose and the Chardonnay. The Chardonnay is unoaked which for me is the only way to drink Chardonnay. It had such a beautiful clean flavor profile that wasn't overpowered by woody notes. Next time I'm in the area, I will definitely be back. Which might be for this weekend's Dungeness crab and seafood festival (oct. 7- oct. 9) read more

We were really excited to go here. We walked from the KOA that is right around the corner. When we walked in the bartender gave us the most un-welcoming look and rolled her eyes. We went and sat outside and thought maybe we were wrong but nope....she was not having it . My husband went back in and she was again, not interested in even greeting him. She finished up with some other customers and still didn't say hello. So no, we didn't try again. No we didn't try the wine and no, I would not go back read more

Very nice stop when in the Sequim, WA area. Beautiful building with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. A nice tasting menu with a good range of varietals. Tasting is more like small pours with a set price. By the glass and bottle sales, as well. The service was excellent. A little tricky finding the driveway, but plenty of parking. We would definitely stop again if in the area. read more

Well worth the tasting fee, as the ladies make fun and tasty wines. It just before you arrive in Port Angles, WA, You arrive to a very picturesque wine factory and warehouse south side of the highway. Plenty of parking at this winery. There well versed tasting room attendants; fun and entertaining wine facts as well as the knowledge of the wines they are poring. The wines have fun names as well as fun wine collateral is for sell as well. Plan on a must stop here on the way in or on the way out of northern Washington peninsula, but do not have to drive very far after the visit. You will definitely have not fun if you do. read more

$5 tasting fee for 5 tastes NOT refundable if you buy a bottle. Tasted several of their red wines and for the price they are charging $20-30 per bottle I was expecting the wine to taste better. This wine I would say was on par with a $5-10 bottle of wine. I would suggest skipping them and go elsewhere. read more

We finally had a chance to stop by this tasting room after passing by the cellar many times on US-101. Wine tasting $5 for your 5 choices from selected wine (as of May 2016) was pretty nice and the selection were from Red, White and dessert. Wide varieties of choice as about 12+ or so. I had some my favorite and purchased 2 bottles. Only one star down from 5 was because the tasting fee was not waved even you purchased a bottle. Many tasting places I have visited were doing this with a purchase but did not happen here, so that was bummed. However $5 for 5 tasting was a good deal so I was OK with this at the end. You can see their tiny cute vineyard on site. read more

Not the worst but definitely not the best wine tasting experience I have had. I enjoy being told a little bit about each wine I'm tasting and that definitely didn't happen. I have no clue about the basics of their wine or winery. The wine was good enough and sold at a decent price that I did buy two bottles, but I definitely wouldn't come back. The gals pouring weren't friendly or inviting. read more

No tasting fee waiver! Total Tasting Foul (TTF)! I have had this winery on my list to visit for a long time. The tasting room and winery is located in a beautiful location: Old refinished barn, beautiful views, garden. . . the whole works. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and seemed to enjoy having "out of towners" swing by for a tasting. The cost: $5 for 5. I particularly liked the Lemberger and Sweet Syrah. OC has a variety of whites and reds, and apparently has a sparkling white and a cider. What I did not like was the fact that I bought three bottles and two glasses and was charged the $10 tasting fee for two tastings. I did not notice the fee was charged until after I left and looked at the receipt. Total Tasting Foul (TTF)! They need to change the policy and waive the tasting fee. Other than the TTF, Olympic Cellars had good wine and a beautiful location. read more

This winery is located in a historic 1800's barn, featuring Working Girl wines - only one or two of their wines from local grapes. We shared a block of cheese as we tasted our 5 wines for $5. Loved the many barrel-aged reds - the wine was good. They also carry lovely gifts, trivets, and novelty trinkets. Their landscaping is beautiful, decorations were exquisite - a truly enjoyable experience. I also hear they have live music on the patio occasionally. My only complaint is that their prices were totally out of range for my pocket, but definitely an enjoyable experience. read more

This winery is a quant, rustic little abode that boasts an array of varietals cultivated in this region. If you're looking for locally-sourced grapes in locally made wine, this should be at the top of your list. The variety and quality of wine is unlike many others you would find without traveling to France itself. Our personal favorite is the Rose' Riveter, which is lighthearted and fresh. Be sure to stop here on your way through Port Angeles. read more

Located right off Highway 101, its easy to find - look for the huge barn. inside you'll find a roomy tasting room with plenty of areas to sit and have a conversation. the staff were welcoming and handled the crowded bar with ease. pssstt fellas, im going to let you in a secret, you should come here if you want to meet some ladies. the winery is owned by three women and well known for its Working Girl everyday wines which are given empowering names such as "Go Girl Red" and "Rose the Riveter". they even have a "Handyman Red" for your favorite handy man (i picked up a bottle for the boyfriend, more for the novelty than the taste ). Even the restrooms have positive affirmations hanging on each door. all of this adds up to being super approachable for females and they were digging it - the crowd was 90% women, not bad odds for the fellas. my taste-buds apparently like the good life cause they were drawn more to the La Dolce Vida wines. described as wines to celebrate special occasions but I would break it out during a nice dinner cause thats just how i roll. Overall, all the wines are reasonably priced and its a great jump-off point if you need to ease into the pool of wine tasting. also they take Discover card along with other forms of plastic. i luv me my cash-back bonus. read more

My mom was out visiting from Southern California and I had to take her to a winery on the peninsula to commemorate her visit. That trip took us to Olympic Cellars, and I am so glad it did! When we first arrived, we immediately fell in love with the barn exterior. When we went inside, we were warmly greeted by one of the women that worked there and she began our tasting($5 per tasting). I tried their Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Dungeness wine, Petit Verdot, and My Sweet Syrah. My mom tried all the same with the exception of the Chardonnay, which she tasted the Working Girl White instead. All wines were very delicious! The woman conducting the tasting mentioned the Dungeness wine has been around since they opened 40 years ago and it did not disappoint! Following the tasting, I recommend enjoying the outside of the property and a glass of your choice. It is a very beautiful winery. The experience was amazing and we will definitely be back! read more

A wonderful little spot we randomly decided to swing by to buy our friends some wine from. The women who owned it and worked at it were so friendly and helpful. The whole place was impeccably clean and absolutely adorable. They had a great variety of wines and plenty for visitors to taste. read more

Overall, we were very pleased with the wines here. The staff was very friendly and had a great sense of humor. Also, relative to many of the other wineries in the area, Olympic was very reasonably priced. Their "Working Girl" wines are affordable and easy to drink. I brought back a bottle for my best friend and she liked it, too. Would definitely recommend dropping by if you're looking for some decent wine at a reasonable price! read more

Very rude and poor service. We bought our red wine and chocolate festival tickets and arrived at 445. It specifically said that they do tastings until 5. They refused to serve us and asked us to leave. We took a ferry and drove strategically to make sure we got to this winery with time to spare. I absolutely will never come here nor buy their wine. read more

Having driven out that way constantly, I had always meant to stop by. I finally did. It's a pretty cool spot. A nice variety of wines that range in price, some of the blends down into the teens. Lots of kooky gifts - mostly feminine and wine themed - and some clothes, and other winery swag. Certainly worth a stop to look around and try the wine flight. read more

This is the best winery I've seen. It's in a 100+ year old barn with a great view of the Olympics. Wine is great tasting and prices are good. Plus, owners are very friendly and inviting. It's a woman owned business and they produce the famous 'Working Girls' series. read more

This is a great little place. We stopped on a lark and found the Ladies behind thew bar to be very Friendly and informative. The Wines are tasty and at a very nice price point! We will definitely be making this a regular stop when we are in the area! read more

Friendly staff. Dessert wines are good but a little strong so be careful. ;) I liked that the dessert wines have brandy mixed in. If we could take it on the plane, I would've considered buying one. We had a mild cheese which was okay. We tend to prefer a cheddar sort of cheese. The ambience is lovely. The entire look of the building and outdoors is very nice and appropriate. Plus, we got to sit and look at the mountains while we drank. Certainly a plus. read more

Such a great find. The wine is good and reasonably priced. For $5 you can taste 6 wines. Service is super friendly and depending on what wine you try they'll bring out cheese and chocolate. Lots of fun gifts all around the place too. My personal recommendation is try the My Sweet Syrah with some of their chocolate sauce. I'm not normally one of those people who pick up on all of the "notes" in wines but with the chocolate sauce I could totally taste it in the wine and it was awesome!! Totally worth the drive. Cant wait to go back!!! read more

Such a great place! This was the first winery we saw on our pilgrimage from Seattle to Forks. They sell a "Twilight wine" which is a sparkling Shiraz with a Twilight label on it. Naturally we bought half a case without getting to sample it. Aside from that wine, the others are very reasonably priced and tasty. The staff there is very friendly and gave us recommendations for things to do in Port Angeles. If they have the lavender cheese from Golden Glen Creamery available BUY IT! It's amazing with the wine tasting and crackers. read more

Wine being subjective; I will not attempt to review theirs, however...... large tasting room with five pours for five dollars, lovely grounds to wander around on at will, and plenty of stock, swag and chotkies to purchase if interested. Glad I stopped in. read more

We bought $100 in wine and still had to pay the tasting fee. We taste in Yakima, Woodinville, and Sonoma all the time and have never had someone not waive the fees if we bought bottles. Poor taste, Olympic winery. read more

I've heard a lot of undeserved knocks against this place because it's "big" but I found the service here to be just as friendly as at any small winery. I enjoy the working girl red, and the strong female flare. I only have 2 problems with this place. The first is that they have two tasting options-I don't like having to make decisions about which wine to taste, and they were a little too busy to make strong suggestions. I still ended up tasting all the wines, although out of order... The second thing that sort of bothered me is that all of the wine was very good, but none of it jumped out at me. It was sort of like all the creativity and sass was put into the names and the marketing, but none of it made it into the product. read more

Wonderful wines, wonderful staff, welcoming atmosphere! Arrived close to closing time, but they still wanted us to stay and taste. Took home our favorite two of their offerings and will gladly stop by again anytime I'm in the area!! read more

A friend and I visited this winery during the Red Wine and Chocolate winery tour 2/8/13. I was excited to visit because of the way this business was portrayed as owned by three women - female entrepreneurs sounded intriguing. It was a little challenging to get to the parking lot from westbound 101 - had to either drive down a questionable muddy road or do a u-turn on 101 as the winery is on the south side of the highway. The winery looked charming from the outside, and well kept. We went in and found the place to be devoid of personality. The store was well stocked and attractively appointed. The woman helping us was not one of the owners but had zero interest in selling us wine or making our experience enjoyable. She made little conversation, barely bothered to look at our choices on the checklist, and simply lacked customer service skills. Perhaps the event was overwhelming; I saw several staff, including two owners, floating around the store and helping folks. A large crowd entered just behind us and we had newcomers pushing into us to get to the counter for the tasting. The set-up was not well done to accommodate the crowding for this tour. The wine labels are fun, being custom-painted by local artists. The wine was lackluster as was the greeting and enthusiasm of the staff. Bummer - it's a beautiful setting but I wouldn't drive for over two hours again to visit this place again and will not recommend the product. read more

Went in looking for a nice wine tasting, however, I was not once acknowledged or welcomed. I would have given it more stars but I did not feel welcome here. read more

Horrible service. Didn't even try anything. I might have bought stuff if I was acknowledge. I guess the two customers there were very important that you couldn't even acknowledge the three others that walked in. read more

Very good wine and very nice people

should have read the reviews -$5 tasting fee required- even if you buy a bottle- come on!! Don't be so cheap - the wine is mediocre -i agree with a other review - more in the $10-15 range - not the $20+ & their reds are super immature - the whites are okay - but don't buy a bottle if you don't love it - you're not saving yourself any money read more
