not a super scenic tasting area but the wine is good! there was a concert sound check happening while we were there. they didn’t turn the regular music off and it just felt a bit chaotic between that and the line to get in to the concert starting to form. I’d recommend bringing your own snacks!
The winery is just beautiful! From the gardens and grounds to the tasting room and shopping areas, there's something cool to see at every turn. The wine tasting and food choices are delicious. And, our tasting host was knowledgeable and gracious to our party.
Chateau wines are top notch! We love all of the local Washington vineyards that produce amazing Ste. Michelle bottles!You know that each bottle is going to be a quality wine and made with care and complex tasting notes, most of their wines have no sugars added to mask bad flavors/grapes, which is awesome!
A beautiful surprise to start wine tasting with our kids. This place does not disappoint. Overall a great start to the day. The grounds are breathtaking!
For a birthday surprise I reserved the brunch box for a group of 5. Now when we think of brunch we think of a decently filling meal. Let me first say, overall, this place is beautiful and the service was great! Staff were friendly, quick to seat us, and follow up with any of our needs. The 4 mimosas did not disappoint us! Food wise, for the amount I paid I feel like they could offer more food. We all got one chicken/waffle, one sausage, shared yogurt and shared skillet hash browns. We ordered the rest of the food on the side as we were still hungry. The food tasted great. Literally everything had flavor. I wouldn’t do the brunch box again but I will be going back.
Had a really great time with a friend who is a vintage member of the winery. Amazing wines and beautiful scenery! Even got to hear Zoey Deschanel do soundcheck for the She and Him concert later in the day. The staff were all warm and friendly and if you love wines, you'll love the selection and quality and the atmosphere is tRelaxing and Beautiful.
The grounds are absolutely beautiful. Inside, the same. Staff was courteous but a little slow. The wine flight was very average. Their white wines are usually terrific but the Riesling, chardonnay, red blend and merlot today were ok but nothing special. I would go back just to see what's next because this is a good winery.
CHATEAU STE. MICHELLE VIBES - We only had one day in Woodinville so we had to try and stop by the OG, Chateau Ste. Michelle. It was a last minute idea but they graciously found space for us at Enoteca, their private tasting room showcasing the high end imports in their portfolioWe’ve been to more than a few wineries in multiple wine regions and we were amazed by the beauty of the grounds (those trees tho! ? ? ?), the breadth of experiences (They were at least three labels under one roof) and the variety of spaces they had for tasting. They even had a music festival-esque stage. (You know I had to jump on that & kick a freestyle before I left #futureperformancedreams There is a lot to explore under the Chateau Ste Michelle umbrella (Couldn’t resist a rainy day dad joke there)After escorting us through the large downstairs with multiple tasting areas, we were whisked upstairs to the Enoteca lounge. Our hostess, Devin, was INCREDIBLE. Any tasting where we can talk wine, share how our passions for wine grew, and get to rap & my music is an extreme win. She even busted out my favorite underdog grape Petit Verdot from Spring Valley Vineyard Winery, high end #oregonpinotnoir from @erathwines & a stunning Cabernet Sauvignon from Col Solare. You know your wine educator is on point with the recommendations when you take a bottle of each home! We would’ve taken more but there’s only so many bottles we could fit in the carry on(s) We’ve learned to pack light as possible.Often at the BIG wineries you can feel rushed and/or overlooked but that was definitely NOT the case at Chateau Ste. Michelle. Looking forward to going back and tasting some of their wines. They seem to have every grape variety imaginable in their portfolio. Can’t wait to go back
Had an amazing Build Your Own Charcuterie Board session with Laura Lee and Aaron at Chateau Ste. Michelle. Such an amazing and warm team, all very knowledgeable about wine, pairings and charcuterie boards! 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for a memorable experience in Woodinville.
The customer service at Chateau Ste Michelle Winery was unparalleled to any other winery I've visited. My cousin and I went to celebrate their birthday and chose the Feature Flight tasting and Secret Garden tasting. The ambience was wonderful as it wasn't too crowded and my cousin and I could easily hear each other when talking. Maya was our server for the Feature Flight tasting and was absolutely wonderful - she was extremely attentive and informative, sharing details about each wine and patiently answering our many questions about the winery and wines. Her joy, passion for wine, and sense of humor really made our experience so enjoyable! For the Secret Garden Tasting, we were served by Alexander who also demonstrated exemplary customer service. He was kind, attentive, and informative about the various wines we tried. We're so pleased with our Chateau Ste Michelle experience and would highly recommend it to our friends!
