Tucked in the SODO group, it gives off a different feeling to me. We had a nice chat with the host and had some tastes that we really enjoyed. It was the end of a run so we didn't take anything home but I will have to revisit coming again. Plus, I need to do a better job of making notes. read more

Dude! What a discovery. Learned a shit ton about "The Rocks District". Kaleo knows how to sell and just be genuine. Can't wait to meet his mom. Seriously stop by. Good vibes, great wine. read more

We love Rotie Cellars in both Walla Walla and Sodo. on a recent trip to the Sodo location, we were greeted with great service and while they did not serve food, we grabbed a pizza from next door and brought it over t enjoy with our wine. The inside is an open space with large bar-top tables to enjoy with friends or enjoy the enclosed space outside. the wine is also wonderful! not the highly alcoholic fruit bombs, but rather nicely balanced wines that express the fruit, terror, and winemakers' craft. well worth the visit. read more

Ok, so we all know the best wine in WA comes from Walla Walla. I'd tell you Rotie is the best of the bunch, but that's just me. Now what you can't fight me on is the awesomeness of having your Walla Walla wineclub also have an awesome tasting room in Seattle -- not some hike over to Woodinville, but right here in Seattle proper! Rotie's got it. I was just in last night for another awesome wine club event, a library tasting. It's so nice to visit only every quarter or so and yet see the same staff serving, clearly people who love the wine and love to tell you about what makes it different and special. If you've never had a Rhone-style wine or you don't know about the funky funky Rocks District, you owe it to yourself to stop at least once at Rotie. And even if you know, you ought to stop by again. read more

So much wonderful wine! My friends and I had a fantastic wine tasting time with Jared and Teoni. We went on a weekday and had the whole place to ourselves. We had so many delicious wines and left with 8 bottles to drink at home. My favorite was the Little G! read more

Delicious wines !!! Great experience at the Walla Walla wine tasting location !! The Northern white is a favorite.. the Rose is so delicious.. So Good !!! read more

One of my favorite Washington wineries! My favorite type of wine is wine grown "on the rocks" and Rotie (especially Proper) has quite a few rocks wines available! If you can't get Proper wine the Rotie Northern Blend is a delightful rocks wine that you won't be disappointed with! They just released their 2017 Proper wine and it's my absolute favorite. Spot on and I have a feeling in a few years it will be even better! Can't wait to come back! Some of the best wine per dollar out there. read more

Rotie Cellars SODO - Tasting room - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love Seattle. Even after the pandemic quarantine hit two weeks after moving here, I will still take Seattle over every other city, except maybe Paris. The SODO Wine Tasting scene just adds to the allure of the Emerald City. Located in a festive strip mall of happy imbibing, Rotie Cellars is my choice of wine amongst the dozens of tasting rooms sitting side by side. What a fabulous concept! If my hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin created this same concept with breweries, it would be a Woodstock of beer drinking, "400,000 strong." Luis was our wine handler on this glorious Saturday in September, following a week of bad forest fire air. He was charming, entertaining and customized our tasting. Join Rotie's club. It's worth it, as I received "special" treatment at Rotie, making the experience even better. I love Rhône Valley wines, especially the North. That is what Rotie is aiming for. One of Rotie's developers reveres Jacques Perrin, (Rotie's Homage) and a case of 1990 Beaucastel CDP Hommage a Jacques Perrin is one of my prized possessions. Thus, all the wines were wonderful, some reaching the heights of my palate choice, especially the Northern Red and the 2019 Southern White. We had a blast at Rotie Cellars thanks to Luis, the great wine, good friends, the festive ambiance and the vibe of Seattle. What pandemic? What climate change? What election? What city council? It was great not trying to solve the world's problems for a couple of hours. Rotie Cellars provided a wonderful way to welcome in my new year. La Shana Tova. read more

Rotie, Proper and House of Bones are all delicious, and the staff at the Rotie tasting room are amazingly friendly and unpretentious.

Spent an incredible afternoon tasting wines at Rotie. I was specifically looking for wines from the Rocks District, and Rotie really delivered! The location is conveniently located between Seattle downtown and the airport. My server was super helpful & friendly, and guided me to try several wines based on my palette. I took two bottles home. Will absolutely come back. read more

Great wines and love the tasting room. Urban feel right next to other favs in seattle!

One of my favorite wine stops and we love being a member. Best parties, wines and service. Tioni is the best and the rest of the crew run a great tasting room. Cheers Rôtie!!! read more

Rotie Cellars SODO - Such great wines - especially this gem. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have been here twice in the last month and can honestly say that I will keep coming back here. First time our server was Kaleo, he really vibes well with my group. Truly enjoyed the wine and the experience from his lens. Our second visit we had Luis, again great guide through the wines. Each time we've bought our fair share of wines to take home. Music was great, atmosphere was good. It felt very clean and I felt comfortable being here, especially during these trying COVID times. Favorite wine is the Southern Blend and the Tanat, but I can honestly say it was all delicious. read more

This is tough review to write! The wines are good, I enjoyed the whites, maybe because it was a warm sunny day. Staff were friendly the atmosphere is super clean and cute. The only thing missing are some chairs (there are zero chairs inside). Given its urban wine-tasting we aren't looking to blow thru 5 wineries, we are looking to enjoy it and relax. (Patterson a Few doors down offers that). read more

Kaleo was our server and he was amazing. This was our first experience at the winery (and our first in Seattle!) he made our tastings great, educated us on the wines and gave us good laughs. read more

A genuinely delightful wine tasting even better by our server DK. His passion takes you on a journey with these unique wines and we ended up shipping some gems back home. This was such a refreshing experience! read more

First off, you can't go wrong with urban wineries! Especially when there are a bunch of them in one building! We have been going to structure and kerloo for awhile, so we are excited that other wineries are popping up here. The space is beautiful and gives you an upscale vibe. You get 3 tastings for $10, which is good, but most places you would get more than this. The wine is delicious. I would recommend this as a nice place to go on a date prior to a nice meal! read more

Go to Rotie if you want excellent wine with knowledgeable and friendly pours from staff you would like to hang out with at your own parties. The tasting flight is just what you were craving and seasonally appropriate. DK is a great host and genuinely likable. You'll enjoy your time at the SODO urban wine works location. read more

We had an excellent wine tasting experience here! The wines were delicious and the server was knowledgeable and entertaining. Will certainly be back again! It's such a fun wine area in SODO. read more

Have a taste, learn about wines, make new friends, and plan fun events later at your home. Rotie is a top flight winery. You won't be disappointed! read more

Fantastic tasting experience! Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff will talk you thru each of Rotie's exceptional wines. A plus is the location in one of Seattle's more interesting and off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods. Highly recommended! read more

I stumbled upon this gem while on my way to a brewery in the same are when I was mesmerized by the beautiful lighting. Lucky for me it was there opening day. Best find of all time! I had an absolute blast with the wine maker Sean and the tasting room manager Tioni. The wine is out of this world amazing! I loved it so much that I joined their wine club. read more

Kaleo was incredible! He was super attentive and was FABULOUS at describing the wines! However, while he was running around like CRAZY taking care of customers, the manager just watched from a distance and kept insulting him rather than helping him out (think his name was Louis?) certainly seemed to have a bit of an ego acting "too good" to serve his customers. Will be back for Kaleo next time I'm in town!!! read more

For a party of 3 we had a great time! Kaleo was so kind and made our experience enjoyable. Even on a busy Saturday he was attentive and made sure we were taken care of. The wine was delicious, love the rosé! Went home with 4 different bottles!! Will definitely go again. read more

Beautiful setting, friendly staff, and very nice wine. Looking forward to going back to try some more.

We stopped in after a recommendation for their Rose after we did a tasting at another winery in the Sodo area. We came in expressing this. There was some confusion and the person at the counter thought we wanted a full tasting. We had already done two tastings and were at our limit. The person at the counter poured a wine of the tasting and I was confused. We told them we actually wanted Rose which they gave us. Afterwards we asked what we owed and apologized for the confusion. They said nothing. But it was in a manner of annoyance and they wanted us to just leave. There was another group there and they were more focused on that. Not a recommend. read more

Tioni and the other staff were so nice, accommodating and truly knowledgeable that we became members the first time we went in for a tasting. The quality of the wine didn't hurt, either! ;-) Seriously fun spot in SoDo and can't wait to engage with these guys in the future. Thanks, Rotie!! Five stars!! read more

Always a favorite stop when tasting in SODO. I first tried Rotie in Walla Walla and fell in love with the wines. I was so happy to learn that they opened a tasting room here in Seattle! Meeting Tioni and the rest of the staff has been great. Such friendly faces excited to share their amazing product. Rotie SODO is a must visit, and is almost always the first stop when I have friends or family visiting and I want to show them quality, approachable Washington wines served without the pretension found at some other tasting rooms. read more

Visited their tasting room in Walla Walla and couldn't wait for the new SODO location to open up! The SODO tasting room is so spacious that it would be the perfect space to host events or bring a group of friends. Tioni was so nice to us and was so patient to explain each of the wines especially since we are new to wine tasting. My favorite was the Southern White. Already making plans to bring other friends along to also try Rotie (: read more

We love the SODO wine area, and discovered Rotie last year. We immediately joined the wine club - the wines are all very good. The atmosphere is modern, inviting, and Tioni is the BEST! She's so warm, explains the wines, and it feels like hanging out with a friend. We often have our two small children in tow, and the employees are very welcoming and kid friendly. Today we tasted at least 6-7 wines, and they were all so unique and tasty. We attended a wine club member event last fall and it was so fun! DEFINITELY stop by if you're in the area, you won't regret it. read more

So as a wine tasting room this place only has 3 wines to taste and still cost $10. I only liked 1 out of the 3 and know you can use the tasting fee towards a bottle but most of bottles were over $35 which I would pay for if it was even worth that amount. The person who was "serving" us never stopped by or explained the wine. The lighting is pretty but its so big and empty that it felt like something was missing. I would skip this place on the wine tour. read more

The wine here is excellent and it is always a treat coming in here! The pours are generous and service is absolutely amazing!

So happy that Rotie opened up this tasting room in Sodo. Joined the wine club when they were only in Walla Walla - now they are only 10 minutes away! Great Rhone-style wines, friendly people, and a beautiful tasting room great for events! read more

Incredible experience! Members of Rôtie and have been to Walla Walla often and will always stop at that tasting room. Seattle,come out and check out their great tasting room'n read more

Rotie is hands-down the best tasting room in Seattle. We always have SO much fun here, and Tioni makes everyone feel very special. She (and the entire staff) are incredibly knowledgeable about their wines, offer up great tasting notes and pairing suggestions, and make everyone feel welcome. Stop by when you're down in SODO and check out this funky little place! The space is beautiful and modern--totally unexpected when the outside says more "80's office park" and there are other great places to visit in the same complex. read more

Top notch experience at Rotie Cellars recently! We hosted a Corporate event at the SODO space and was very happy with the outcome. Great resources were made available by the lovely, Tioni Healy, the Tasting Room Manager. Definitely check out the space to host an event. read more

Went to the Rotie Tasting Room a few weeks ago and loved it! The wines are excellent, and I loved tasting the exclusive Club-only Rose they've produced this season. The design is very clean and streamlined, and the bar space is large so you don't feel crowded in or rushed. The parking is plentiful and convenient, or you can take a Lyft from downtown Seattle (like I did) for less than $10. All in all, a really enjoyable spot to try delicious wines. There are even other tasting rooms in the same center, so it's worth it to visit a couple while you're there. read more
