The mysterious Paige and magnificently entertaining Tim have made this one of my favorite destinations in Woodinville. Of course the wines are excellent. I'm just a regular person, not a connoisseur, but in my humble opinion the majority of their wines come across as impressive and worthy of sharing without being unbearably imposing. Delicious fun comes to mind. When they have bites to pair with the wine they are always treats that are appropriately paired. It is especially wonderful when the grill is sizzling in the summertime and the conversational buzz is punctuated with laughter and appreciation for being invited to the party. Nothing but love for these people, their wines, and hospitality. R.Keith Harrison read more

One of the original wineries in Woodinville. Tim and Paige were exceptional hosts and we enjoyed chatting with them and drinking their wines. We left with a couple bottles and joined the club; it's not hard to yank my chain for a wine club, haha! What pleasant surprise to end our afternoon in Woodinville. read more

Stevens Winery is the class of Woodinville wineries at this price point. Their XY is probably my favorite wine. The 424 red blend has been delightful each year I've had it. The Black Tongue Syrah is delicious each year. These big reds deserve a few years in the cellar, so don't be shy, invest now and enjoy them even more in a few years. I've just started getting into my 2005 XYs and 424s and they're more enjoyable today than they were when I paid for them. The Yes (or OUI) is a great dinner-ready wine at a great price. The beautiful labels are just an added bonus. The real delights lie inside. If you can't make it to Woodinville (shame on you) then you can find them at Fine Wine and Cigars in Redmond and some other local wine shops. read more

Stevens Winery - 2005 424, 2006 424, 2005 XY, 2006 XY, 2006 Black Tongue - Wineries Near Me - Woodinville, Washington

See all

I work in the wine industry, and get to try A LOT of wines. I know what I like, I know what I don't like. Mama likes Stevens. :) Great wines... I was so glad I got to experience them today. Black Tongue Syrah rocked my world. read more

Now I don't consider myself a true wine snob, but I would like to think I've tasted enough wines to know the difference between good stuff and rotgut. This small, family owned and operated winery turns out some good stuff. And they're super friendly to boot. This was one of the last stops on my first excursion out to the Woodinville wine country, and it was by far the best. I sampled the 2007 Oui Blend, the 2006 424 Blend, the 2007 BlackTongue Syrah, and the 2006 XY Cabernet Sauvignon. Wow. The Cab was truly spectacular and the Oui is a fantastic wine that is a steal for $17 a bottle. If you're heading out to do some wine tasting in Woodinville you owe it to your taste buds to search this place out, trust me they'll thank you. read more

I had the opportunity to try their 424 Yakima Valley Red at Preservation Kitchen. It was absolutely heavenly and I couldn't keep my nose out of my glass! The 45% Cab Franc, 45% Cab Sav and 10% Merlot created a nectar to impress all the gods! I desparately wanted another bottle so I looked them up online and sent an email in effort but alas it was all sold out. The response came from Paige, wife/winemaker/owner herself, which impressed me as I love dealing with local business owners who are passionate and welcoming with what they do! Knowing how wonderful the 424 was, we couldn't resist her invitation to visit them during tasting hours! It was a rainy dreary NW day but we beat the weather and were warmly welcomed into their tasting room. We met husband/winemaker/owner Tim and he poured us some lovely concoctions. We also had the pleasure of meeting Paige the other half of this dynamic duo. While there we were fortunate to try the Sauvignon Blanc, Viogner, Syrah and XY Cabernet Sauvignon. Our favorites were the Viogner and XY of which we took home as souvenirs to enjoy at a later date. Not only is this wine exceptional, the artwork on their labels is also very cool. black and white images of which we found out are done by no other than owner Tim himself! A few of which he has stories for. We were very impressed with this personable and multi-talented team! Rumor has it that they will be hosting a wine maker's dinner at Preservation Kitchen in the near future. Now that is something no one can afford to miss! read more

We love this place. Such great connection with the wine makers and awesome personal touches from the tasting room, labels, wine and on. Our first time visiting, they stayed open late when I called and said we were trying to find their A-frame sign (they were closed so it was gone), but they re-opened just for us to try a few of what they still had open. We ended up buying several bottles and enjoyed them each! We can't wait to become wine members in the next few months! read more

Great winery. We joined their wine club. Nice selection of reds. Tom and Paige are so kind and full of information. Syrah is great! Can get crowded on the weekends. read more

424 is the Bordeaux blend that I enjoy. Can't believe Gregutt passed on its review in his recent article

If you didn't make it to Stevens' recent summer barbeque & wine release party then you missed out on one good time. You can't beat a free barbeque where someone else does the cooking and makes sure you always have plenty of wine to drink...that is I guess unless you come over to my house, but that's for a different post. There were several new wines released including a very popular, but limited, rose... who's that lady on the elephant?... as well as a Viognier, Sauv Blanc, and new table red "YES". Stevens Winery has been a favorite spot for many Woodinville wine faithful going on 4 or 5 years now. When visiting, you're always sure to see several familiar faces, which could be good or bad depending on how much you had to drink the last time. People just seem to gravitate back to this small producer not only for the great wines but also the friendly and captivating personalities of owners Tim and Paige Stevens, which help to make Stevens Winery a true wine experience. It's actually kind of like Cheers in that way, "Where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came." Except in this most recent episode water balloons took the place of baseballs. One word of warning though, the wines do run out, unlike Norm's endless mug of beer, so get them while you can. And keep an eye out for any future can't miss wine parties because "Sometimes you want to go..." read more

Excellent family owned winery. Unpretentious with amazing wines. Art both inside and outside of the bottle.

Paige and Tim. Thanks so much for showing us a nice afternoon and letting us taste your delicious wines. Tell Tim to take a day off every once in a while!!! read more

Stevens Winery - allll the reds - Wineries Near Me - Woodinville, Washington

Tim and Paige are fantastic, the wines are amazing, and you always have a great time there. It had been a while since we had been to Stevens so we went on Holiday in the Hood. Tim was great, and dressed up as The Grinch, but there was no Grinch about him! He brought out a 3 liter of syrah from his stash and poured it around for all of us there! Talk about service! Stand out wines for my are the malbec and syrah. Only downside is they are only open on Saturdays, so you can only enjoy them once a week! Fortunately, I have a bottle of their Timely Malbec, but clearly I need to go back for me! Cheers you two! read more

Two words, black tongue. By far my favorite Syrah in Washington. I sell a ton of it at my restaurant! Tim and Paige are a great people and the wine is phenomenal. read more

A "must visit" winery when you find yourself in the Woodinville area! Tim and Paige have a cult following, and its clear why they do-I am a follower, too! Always a great time at their wine dinners, and their cool space in the warehouse district is where I like to have my client appreciation parties. World Class Wine, and great people making it! Sorry, I can't pick a favorite wine with this place-they have all been great, every year since they started. read more

tim and paige know a LOT about grapes. they know even more about the art of wine. while i haven't been to woodinville yet my review is solely on their wine. the sample of XY that i had was fragrant and oui is such a bargain! the grand prize, however, goes to the black tongue syrah. how lucky was i to receive a bottle of it as a housewarming gift? it was the first alcohol to be opened and consumed in my newly purchase home. can't wait to buy a few cases when i have the official housewarming party.... read more

I would l8ve to give a review but sadly we were totally ignored. Even a simple "we will be with you in a minute." Would've sufficed. There was a small limousine group that was being given full attention. Too bad - we made a special point of going there. It reminds me of Pretty Woman- we would've spent a lot of money. read more

Tim and Paige were kind enough to host a group of my colleagues the day before they were set to bottle. It was a great experience to hear from the winemakers and owners about the unique challenges of starting a scaling a small winery. It's clear they are passionate about what they do and it shows up in their wines. The cabernet was delicious and my favorite. There were also some rave reviews in our group for the 424. Though they don't usually set it out for tasting, the Yes (424's secret cousin) is a great value for a Washington table wine. Highly recommend giving this winery a shot the next time you're in Woodinville. read more

Tim's label art is as amazing as his wine.

As part of the growing garagiste movement in Woodinville, Stevens Winery might not be the most attractive winery (from the outside) in Washington but in my book it's one of the most entertaining. Tim Stevens and wife Paige make sure of that with their great hospitality and fun, laid back demeanor. Their small boutique winery has quickly become known as one of the key producers of premium wine in the bustling Woodinville wine community. Steven's production includes small lots of mostly red wine including Merlot, Cabernet, Syrah, and a blend, along with two whites a Sauvignon Blanc and their most recent addition a great Viognier, which has already sold out. Each wine has a unique name, including Stevens424 (blend), StevensXY (reserve Cab), and StevensBlacktongue (Syrah), and dons a wine label designed by Tim Stevens himself. Some times these artistic creations even make it into limited edition prints available for purchase by loyal patrons. Stevens is often open on Saturday afternoons, and an occasional Sunday, but their tasting selection is usually limited to only two wines due to their small production lots selling out rather quickly. However, if you're lucky Tim, who is actually quite humble about the quality of his wines, may grab some barrel samples for you to try. He often enjoys feedback from his customers, but will be the first to tell you that he can do better because as an artist Tim is always striving for perfection in his wines. Make sure to get on the Stevens mailing list and reserve your wines early because their release parties are usually some of the best in the area and the wines sell out quickly. read more

Nice little garage winery in Woodinville. Great wines, not too expensive.

Many people raved about Stevens so I have to check it out. The room is nice as is the wine maker. The wines we good, but nothing that I had to have. read more

Amazing wine and amazing wine makers! I have been back to Stevens several times and for a good reason! Keep it coming Tim and Paige!

I enjoyed my visit here. I learned a ton from Tom and Paige. I almost always wait to buy bottles after a tasting, but this time I bought on the spot -- it was that good. read more

Stumbled upon Steven's during a recent weekend in Woodinville, man the sheer number of wineries that have popped up there is just shocking. Really nice wines, super friendly people. They had cracked open a Nebuchadnezzar of 424... no kidding... a freakin' Nebuchadnezzar!!! and it was smokin' good. They were also pouring their XY, which was great as well, but had not yet been released. Along with Mark Ryan, this place is a must hit if you are looking for a place to hit for serious reds. read more

This place is a hidden gem. It's a bit off the beaten path, and not in the main warehouse district, but it's definitely worth the detour. The wines are exceptional-some of the best that we've had from any of the Woodinville tasting rooms. Their 2008 424 blend alone makes the trip to the tasting room worthwhile, but all of the wines are very good. In addition to the quality of the wine, the labels are beautiful, and the proprietors are fun and friendly. read more

Great wines, small tasting room, I liked their 424, Black Tongue and Cab XY. Owners serving wine and very personable. Tasting $10 waived if $30 purchased. Avg wine around $30. read more

I've been to their small tasting room twice and i have to say, I love it more each time. the owners are so great and fun to chat with. The wine is by far some of the best I've had and I never leave with just one bottle! I would highly recommend the tasting room and wine for any event! read more

Well, unfortunately we are wine snobs, and we believe Stevens is a real gem!!!! The wines are true works of art...balanced and eloquent, the mark or a true winemaker...beyond the quality of the wine, they are real people, real passion, real love for the craft...a must stop...we have bottles stored for special gifts and for our own pleasure...a highlight of our vacation !!! Will be the first stop on our next trip in the area!! read more
