Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery

Had an AMAZING experience lunch here yesterday. Would highly recommend. Good was great and so was our host. I also saw goo goo dolls here and loved the venue. They were very organized getting people in and you could bring your own wine purchased onsite. No need a screw top…they have wine barrels with screws inside to help open your bottles. Food choices inside the concert were also great. Overall great venue to spend a couple of days.

Chateau Ste. Michelle is such a beautiful winery to visit. The grounds are charming and make for a really enjoyable experience, especially if you’re looking for a fun outdoor activity on the weekend. While the winery itself isn’t huge, it has a cozy and welcoming feel that makes it easy to relax and enjoy your time. The wines are very good, and the setting makes them taste even better. It’s the kind of place where you can sip and take your time without feeling rushed. The atmosphere is definitely one of the highlights—calm, scenic, and perfect for spending a few hours with friends or family. The only downside is that seating can be a bit limited, so it may take a little effort to find a spot, especially on busy days. But overall, it’s a great stop if you’re in the area and want to enjoy good wine in a beautiful setting.

My absolute favorite outdoor concert venue in the Seattle area during the summer and cozy indoor wine tasting all year long. Amazing events + food, absolutely incredible wine and the best ambiance around!

My husband and I went in for their September Feature Flight and had a great experience. We enjoyed the wines and all of the knowledge that Emilie shared with us. Walking around the stunning grounds was an added bonus.

I would like to guide you to this beautiful winery. Its been 25 years since I have been here. The fish ponds are empty and the peacocks are gone, however, more activity and people means change. There is a large concert area and a restaurant now...But... the charm remains. Picnic areas, shady tree covered chill out areas and community awaits you. Free to enter, free to park. You must try the wine, order a charcuterie board or put together your own from the little store. Worth the visit.

Ste. Michelle was an amazing wine tasting experience with quite impressive grounds/atmosphere. The whole site is well appointed and beautifully presented. We did a VIP tasting package and had an outstanding experience with our guide Anders. Highly recommend the VIP tasting or just grabbing a glass during a visit. Will be back!

The Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville is a very large sprawling complex of buildings, open spaces and, the reason I went here, an outdoor concerts venue. I can't comment on the inside of the winery as I did not enter any buildings. The outdoor open space is beautiful and kept very well manicured. I went to the concert venue to see Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors and Gin Blossoms play in the middle of August on a day when it was sunny and 89 degrees. There are two entry gates to access the concert venue. The north entry opens right up to the side and front of the stage. The south entry is a few minutes walk to get to the seating area. I went to the north gate entry. For parking, you have to get there when they open the lots up to get good parking. Ideally, you want to park close to the north entry gate. There is ADA parking close to the north gate. Most of the parking spaces are in full sun, so bring a car sun screen for your front window. I got there when the lots opened, so I parked very close to the entry gate and in the shade of a tree. After walking a short distance through the grounds, I waited in a very sunny and hot line to go through security when the gates opened which was about an hour of waiting. There is also an ADA line. Most people brought their short lawn chairs and sat in a shady grassy area where the line would enter. Event security is very helpful and answered all my questions happily as this was my first trip to the winery. There are also many police and bomb squad personnel around the crowd and winery for your safety. Once inside the amphitheater, you pass by the merchandise table to buy concert merch while all sizes of t-shirts and other merch are available; waiting until the end of the concert gives you limited merch to choose from as much merch has been sold by then. My seat was near the back of the reserved seats and came with a high back folding seat already in place and with a great view of the stage. Those who brought low back short lawn chairs sat in the grassy area behind the reserved seats. The venue only seats 4500 people so it is a great small place to watch a concert. Sealed outside water bottles are permitted through security and there are water filling station to refill your bottle when empty. No outside alcohol is allowed. Inside the concert area you can purchase the winery's vintages from tables that also open the bottle for you and supply plastic cups. There are food options available at the back of the concert area with stalls selling BBQ (delicious!), Mexican food (got a small bone in my beef taco), cold ice cream among a few other types of food. The sound system at the concert is very good and powerful; you can actually feel the bass booming through your chest! The concert was absolutely incredible sounding with great views of the raised stage. The slope of the amphitheater is gentle not steep. Buy the reserved seats if you can afford them unless you want to bring a small blanket and picnic basket of food with you sitting in the lawn area. Outside food is permitted through security for your culinary enjoyment. The whole venue is in full sun and can be quite hot until the sun goes down behind the trees. Because the concert area is so relatively small, this place is a great way to enjoy a concert by some big name artists every Summer. I highly recommend coming to watch a concert here.

I went for the wine tasting with a couple of friends. You can make a reservation or walk in if they have available spots. We did the Take Away Flights for $30. The service is great and you get to choose 4 selections from the menu. Here’s my perspective on the different wines we tasted. P.S., I don’t have any professional education with reviewing wines so take it with a grain of salt. 2019 Muscat Canelli - tastes sweet but not as sweet as a dessert wine 2023 Le Rose - tastes dry and watery 2024 Midsummer White - tastes like apricot and beer; too much hoops 2019 Canoe Chardonnay - very nice light Chardonnay; Chardonnay is a drier wine 2018 Cinsaut - my friend said it’s is a good mix of sweet and sour and the other one hated it because she doesn’t like red wine

My first concert experience here and I was blown away. Why haven't I done this sooner? Pro: -Beautiful grounds, stunning gardens -Get there early to park and you'll get in at a day of price of $50. Was nice to have the day of option, next time I'll pre-purchase parking. -concert staff was friendly and helpful! - convenient tasting room to wine taste and buy a bottle before entering. I liked this bc I wasn't sure what offerings would be inside the concert venue and I only like bubbles. Was happy with their "extra dry" offering. - nice bathrooms inside the tasting room. The potty's in the concert venue are clean and plenty. - the purchase lines in the tasting room were efficient - signage to guide concert goers was helpful and properly placed Cons - waiting to get in the GA section was muddy. When you're waiting 2 hours to get in, the mud is hard to avoid and inconvenient to put your stuff down. Maybe some gravel in those areas would help?

Really great wine (I was surprised because it's such a big operation) and gorgeous setting! We did a patio tasting and I was a little disappointed that it was on the patio with not much view when the other tasting areas - including other patios - have much better views. However, the landscaping is next tier and even on our not super scenic patio, the hanging flowers were so beautiful and vibrant that they looked fake. We may or may not have touched them to see if they were real... Service was good, nothing epic, but they were busy. The white Cabernet Sauvignon was a standout - make sure you try this one! Thinking about shipping some because I am still thinking about that wine over a month later.. plus, we talked to a few other parties who had tasted here when we were at other wineries, and everyone raved about that wine specifically! Don't miss this winery on your trip to Woodinville!

I would like to guide you to this beautiful winery. Its been 25 years since I have been here. The fish ponds are empty and the peacocks are gone, however, more activity and people means change. There is a large concert area and a restaurant now...But... the charm remains. Picnic areas, shady tree covered chill out areas and community awaits you. Free to enter, free to park. You must try the wine, order a charcuterie board or put together your own from the little store. Worth the visit.

We had a wonderful experience coming here today and love the grounds and history that is so interesting. It was crowded here on a Wednesday afternoon 8/20/25. The employees are very engaging and love working here. I am definitely more impressed now that I have been here and can't wait to come back to see a concert!! Great live music venue!!

2025....Another great summer concert season at the winery! Counting Crows, Goo Goo Dolls and The Beach Boys!

Absolutely beautiful grounds, especially around the rose garden. This is where we were for the "Rose Garden Picnic" experience. Very nice service. You get to pick your bottle of wine from a list of 5 or 6. We had the La Rose. It was a pleasant wine for a hot day. The food was presented in plastic containers. There was a veggie container with carrot and celery sticks, slices of cucumber, a couple wedges of pita and 2 little containers of dip. The meats and cheeses were all pretty good. We were also given a jar of artichoke and caper "spread". The last was very tasty but hard to eat because of all the oil. (Dare you to put that on a cracker and not drip!) It really was a lovely experience. A little tweaking of the food would make it exceptional.

Went to a blend class with friends on our trip ! We tasted wine correctly We learned which ones we our favorite Canoe river And cold creek ! Lorelei was an excellent teacher ! We created our own bottle of wine to our taste! At the check out we were able to get our wine shipped to home for our convenience and safety ! The check out serve was accomodating and helpful!

Château Ste Michelle Winery, Woodinville, WA - August 15, 2025 We arrived for a 1 PM grand tour of the winery. We got there at about 12:45 PM. We checked in and then walked over to the Manor House where the tour would begin. Our tour guide's name was Laura Lee. She has been serving as a guide since 2016. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour started right at 1 PM. There were five other people there in our group. All seemed very nice. The Manor House had a few glass sculptures by Chihuly, a famous artist who has done glass sculptures for the Bellagio in Las Vegas, as well as many other museums. Laura Lee talked a little bit about the history of the property where the current Château Ste Michelle winery is at. It was originally owned by a timber Baron who later turned the property into his summer home and ultimately his permanent residence. It initially started off as a dairy farm. In the early days of the property, holly bushes were planted around the perimeter, thus leading the owners to call their ranch Hollywood. The property is remarkable, with lush green vegetation and lots of flowering plants including roses. They also have an interesting set of rectangular pools that once served as a trout farm. Château Ste Michelle bought the property in 1976. One of the interesting things about the area where they grow their grapes is that it was affected by a giant Montana flood about 10 to 13,000 years ago that added to the soil characteristics of the area. The tour ultimately wound up in a nice auditorium where we did a guided wine-food pairing. We got to try a 2021 Cold Creek Reisling, 2022 Ethos Reserve Chardonnay, 2021 Canoe Ridge Estate Merlot, and a 2017 Artists Series red blend with some amazing cheese and food pairings. The tasting was worth the $55/person. Afterwards we bought a bottle of the Cold Creek Riesling, 2021 Canoe Ridge Reserve Merlot and Rosé - $75 with a 15% discount.

I had a great time at this winery. We purchased the picnic experience and got to have charcuterie and white wine in the rose garden. The landscaping and views were immaculate. The wine was also great. They gave me a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon as well and it too was fabulous. Not all the meats and cheeses were worth writing home about, but the overall experience was top notch. The staff were very friendly as well and that added to the magical experience. It is worth a visit ,

Since we were in the area, we had to go here. The grounds are absolutely amazing. We each grabbed a flight of wine and sat outside. All of the staff was so helpful and friendly. It made for the perfect afternoon escape.

It's a winery. It's a concert venue. It's crowded. This review is for the concert venue not the winery which I would love to come back just for the wine experience. This was my first concert experience here and thank goodness I had a reserved lawn chair. A reserved space sandwiched between general admission and seats up towards the front. It was a spacious chair with two cup holders. Large enough to hold a bottle of wine, lol. Hey! It's a winery don't judge. I bought a bottle on site at the tasting room. Having a reserved seat also allowed for entry into the "reserved" section. Meaning you enter the venue through a different security section. Staff is checking tickets to make sure you're in the right line. And the general admission area looked crazy crowded! From reading reviews I think a lot of those folks come uber early to get a spot. Like when the gates open at 5:00. I arrived approximately 6:00 and the entire general admission area was packed. And there was a huge line of people waiting to get in. Crazy. And when I went to use the only restrooms available which are portable toilets I noticed people crammed up in a dirt area against the fence. Absolutely ridiculous. Thank goodness I got the reserved lawn chair. Which had plenty of space even to dance! All staff I encountered were extremely friendly. When some people behind the reserved lawn area knocked over a small fence I noticed a whole group of concert security circle them. Yikes! The food vendors were also packed. I ordered from the Mexican food vendors Isidro's, so yummy! You are allowed to bring food into the venue. Lots of people had picnic set ups. Parking is a mess. I used ride share to get to the venue. So much easier. The parking lot did open at 3:00. But let's be real. It's a winery. If you don't mind sitting bumper to bumper traffic there was loads of parking. Not sure the cost. The website has all the concert information I suggest you read it. Enjoy your life! SYOY!

Have always drank this wine - so was excited to go to the winery. If youre not in the members club, you have to make sure you go to the "tasting room" which isnt really well marked. We had to ask someone as we walked in the Vintage Reserve room. The employees didnt really feel welcoming even though we expressed it was our first time at this winery. We ended up doing a wine tasting "to go" but sat at a table. It was fine, but the bartender didnt really elaborate on the wines apart from what I could read on the sheet. It was an ok experience but I wouldn't visit again. Its a weird feeling when the staff isnt welcoming!

I fell in love with this place. Beautiful scenery, amazing professional staff. Delicious wine and food. We will definitely be back again.

This is a review for the concert venue only. They have taken away another enjoyment of the concert experience. Our one and only 2025 concert And I'm extremely annoyed that the grass area is now open to any chair height. In all prior seasons, high backed chairs were only allowed at the back of the venue...makes sense. I believe since the chairs that are available for rent through CSM for rent are high backed, of course they are going to let them sit anywhere. I'm so fed up with this venue...if I had't already quit their wine club, I would be quitting it now.

I have yet to go inside the winery, but came here for the Wynonna Judd concert and it was fantastic. First off, they had a shuttle bus running for extra parking which was a quick hop on, hop off. I also appreciated that parking was a reasonable price (especially when you got a shuttle to the venue). It was awesome they allowed you to bring in your own food, especially for those with dietary restrictions. I enjoyed being able to purchase wine and take it to my chair. The venue itself was also great, we had a short walk from the shuttle to the gate and were let in almost immediately. I felt there wasn't a bad seat in the whole venue, sound quality was great. One last thing, they put the merchandise on the side of the stage, so even while waiting in line, you didn't miss the show. All places should do this!

Walking into the facility was an aesthetic experience and I was super excited. However, other than the environment, the white wines were okay. What was disappointing was the cheese and cracker board - plain and not worth the price

One of the most popular wineries in Woodinville, this place deserves it. While they did increase the wine tasting prices from $25 to $30 for non-members like me, I still had an enjoyable experience. My first visit was a few years back, and this visit still strikes a nice charm. This time, we also got some food, from the flight bites to pair with the wines for the standard tasting to the charcuterie board, all of which were fairly decent. The focus here is more on the wine, which I enjoyed a good amount of them. You start off with complimentary brut, then they hand you 4 small flasks you can pour the wines into that brut wine cup to continue onwards with the tasting. Flight bites were not really worth the $18, and the charcuterie at $30 is a bit steep, though there is a lot of meat there. Nevertheless, my friend and I had an enjoyable experience and with ample seating, we never felt rushed throughout our relaxing experience. Just make sure to make a reservation in advance, as this place is fairly popular and can be booked out if you plan too last minute. However, you are forced to pay 1 pairing per person, so you could chance walk-in outside of that, or just focus on this winery for this day's visitation, as I would always tend to share 1 pairing with a friend so we could get more variety.

Although the grounds and concert venue as a whole is nice, management is horrific! There is very limited parking and the cost is $124! Yes! $124 to park at the venue. There is no other parking close by, and there was absolutely no shuttle service provided, either. So, most of us must rely on Uber or Lyft for transportation to and from the venue. Furthermore, dancing is not allowed! Imagine going to a live performance and not being allowed to dance! Regardless of who plays there, I intend to avoid château Saint Michelle! Their wines aren't even that good!

The winery is on stunning grounds. A massive chateau sits at the center of the property. We parked near a few EV chargers and proceeded through the grounds. We noted a few igloos with patrons having wine outdoors. The day was rainy and cool. We found the tasting room which was very impressive. The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. We chose four flights 2 white and two red our server then provided two additional reds a Malbec and a Merlot. We liked the wines the Merlot was very good. We also got a small cheese and fruit board. We do not see all these wines back east and can only recall seeing a few whites, Pinot Grigio, that are available from this vineyard. Rene was our host and he was excellent - knowledgable and accommodating. All very nice. Highly recommend a stop if you are in the area. Nancy & Mark.

We've been members at Chateau Ste. Michelle for a while and usually have our wine delivered, so this was our first time wine tasting on-site since having our baby. We've been needing to update our payment info, but every time I try calling Claudia back, it goes straight to a voicemail that hasn't been set up--so I can't even leave a message. We decided to visit for a 4th of July wine tasting with friends visiting from Oregon, and unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. There were no high chairs available for our little ones, and while we were seated on the patio, we had to go all the way inside just for the complimentary tasting and even to place a food order--nothing could be done tableside. As members, we didn't receive any complimentary tastings and only received a 20% discount. While we've always loved the wine and the grounds are beautiful, the overall membership experience feels impersonal--it's starting to feel like we're just a number. By contrast, our first stop that day was Matthews Winery, where our friend is a member. The staff there was incredibly warm and welcoming. The space is gorgeous, very kid-friendly, and they made a point to recognize and connect with their members. My friend's membership included four complimentary tastings and access to four other partner wineries. The difference in hospitality and member experience was night and day--and it helped make our decision easy. We're making the switch. That said, we'll definitely be back--just not as members. We truly love the wine and the stunning grounds, but the membership experience no longer feels worth it for us.

You want to be fancy? Out of all wineries I have been to this place is pretty breathtaking especially for being just a few miles down the road. I truly don't know how I have never been here(I've dropped off my wife and her friends many times). I can see why this is the focal point of wineries in Woodinville. It's like walking onto Royal grounds making your way to the tasting room. We or I did not explore outside of the tasting room as everyone else had been there many, many times. Upon walking into the tasting room we were all greeted by multiple employees. The setting was very cozy and inviting and you could tell why this is the place to be in wine country. Making your way past the check in point to the bar to select your wine you walk through a very large gift shop. From wine trinkets to wine they kind of have everything. Maybe I should have taken more pictures but the inside of the tasting room just has so many different feels. From a warm dining room to a social looking bar feel, it kind of has a little bit of everything. Not to take away from the wine itself because that's how all of this was created in the first place. Nothing is short of anything at this establishment. Kind of like an amusement park for Wine lovers. I had a flight of the reds which zero complaints. Everyone else shared 3 bottles of whites(not my thing). To top it all off we ordered a handful of items from the food menu which were devoured. From the mouth watering clams to the CSM burger, they were all fantastic(and actually a very good price). I will definitely be accompanying anyone that wants to go back here and hopefully catch a concert this summer here(which has been on my bucket list for year).

We got the gluten free charcuterie board and the tasting flight. I definitely recommend reservations. We sat on the patio and they were fully booked

We pay over $100 dollars and what we got was not an experience worth of the time and money. The person who explain about the wine, has clearly no knowledge, it felt more like a rehearsed speech and like he just wanted to throw the information and go to the next table. We had high expectations in terms of food and it was definitely overpriced and average. The place is pretty but I would not pay for their "experiences"

Great place for a tasting, light snack or lunch, and or a picnic on the grounds. We were visiting WA and was invited here for wine tasting. Service was great, wine was lovely. Food is ordered separately and was also lovely try the cheese board and pizza!

The tour is incredible with sampling along the way. Great wine and beautiful grounds.

Had an amazing time with friends at Chateau Ste Michelle this weekend - our particular server Oleg was such a rockstar and made sure we were taken care of the whole afternoon. The fries and oysters were a treat with our tastings. Great and welcoming environment and thankful they were able to accommodate us even when it was raining.

MID-SIZE OUTDOOR CONCERT VENUE AND VINEYARD. CLOSE TO SEATTLE. This is really a great place to see a concert. My wife and I have seen James Taylor, The Steve Miller Band and, most recently, the Stray Cats. We also have tickets for The Beach Boys and Winona Judd. You can sit on the grass or buy tickets for some of the reserved seats. We love the Reserved Lawn seating, as the aisles are really wide and the seats are very comfortable with lots of Leg room. And they are not much more expensive than the general admission tickets. The winery sells glasses and bottles of wine right there. The staff is very friendly and members get a discount! There are also plenty of food venues, so you need not bring a picnic basket, although you are allowed to, but be advised: The first time we went, we brought some salami and cheese. Of course, we packed some cheese spreaders. Well, these are considered weapons! "Watch out, he's got a cheese spreader!" Of course, they were confiscated so we had no way to cut out cheese! LOL That said, we learned our lesson and have enjoyed the venue ever Since. We left our home in Los Angeles four years ago and have been searching for a substitute for The Hollywood Bowl. Well, we've found it in the form of this wonderful winery venue. So catch some tickets before they are all gone! Excelsior!

Took a group here for our first Ste. Michelle experience. We rented an igloo, which came with two wines of your choice from a menu of 6 options and a charcuterie plate. You can also order any other wine they have in stock for 20% off. The menu they have the day-of was better than the pre-order menu in my opinion. Despite notifying the front reservations of our arrival, we didn't have anyone to seat us for at least 5 mins so we sat ourselves. Once you get your first order in, you will likely never see your server again. I think they expect you to text the number if you need anything and want to give you space and privacy; that's the best advice I can give to anyone wanting to do the igloo. Jonah was an amazing server and it was a cool weekend activity. If you're looking to do the igloo I recommend a cloudy or rainy day, unless you want to be incubated.

Beautiful venue but absolutely horrible experience. This was our first time here and we wanted a tasting but no one was around to help us figure anything out, all workers turned their back on us. To make matters worse, there was an antisemetic singer that made us feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome by singing about taking down the fascists and zionists...what an absurd song to sing for people just wanting to enjoy their wine experience, and absurd that this behavior was allowed.

Beautiful spot with yummy wine and a relaxing vibe. We went to one of their summer concerts--amazing music, great energy, and sipping wine under the stars? Yes, please. Can't wait to go back!

Mid. Chateau used to be THE spot. The venue used to be THE destination. The popularity got to the heads of those in charge here. The seating, the organized sections of lawn, the "VIP" seating is laughable. Mid level wine offered outside, at full price. VIP is white plastic lawn chairs that are sticky and not set up/spaced out efficiently prior to opening doors. And the food is just mid. You're not close to Marymoore or White River and you sure are nothing like The Gorge, quit pretending and tone everything down a notch. Be better. Do less.

Chateau Ste. Michelle is a beautiful winery with charming grounds that were built in 1912. They have a large open space with a lawn area, stage venue, and visitor center where you can spend some time exploring and walking around. Inside the tasting room are two floors of spaces to try wine tastings. We went to the tasting room and were offered a variety of different wine tasting options. Out of all of them we chose the col solare tasting ($45 per person). Col Solare is a partnership between Washington winemakers and Italian winemakers and an institution that has been around for 600+ years. Together they created a variety of cabernet sauvignon wines made 100% in Washington. We tried the 2018, 2019, and 2020 wines which were all great and our favorite was the 2019. Our server was great (never got his name) in providing information and history of each of the wines. It was a beautiful entrance while driving in and it's a great place for some wine and hang out.

Great setting for wine tasting with beautiful grounds. The good spots require reservations. Tastings are 4 for $30.

Love this winery. The grounds are beautiful. Wines are amazing. The staff at Chateau St Michelle are always very friendly and helpful. We did do The Somm's table and highly recommend trying it. The wines and the food paring were delicious. My only criticism is that they should offer a vegetarian option food paring with the courses.

Came here for a flight tasting and loved it! Got a few dishes to snack on during the tasting. Our waitress was sweet and certainly saved the best wine for last! I really enjoyed the beet salad, especially the goat cheese! You could tell they used fresh ingredients and loved they used local products. The space for the tasting room is really big and I like how spread apart the tables are. The whole estate is beautiful and well kept. I can't wait to come back in the summer to see all the flowers. All the buildings are close together and are easy to find. They host concerts here which is on my bucket list! It's a great place for a date or with a friend! Truly a great winery!

None of us had ever been to a winery/wine tasting before so this was a super fun experience! I wanted to go for my birthday and every time I would ask someone they would recommend chateau ste Michelle so we decided to come check it out and was not disappointed! The basic wine tasting experience was only $33 I think you got to try 4 wines plus a complementary wine to start with, this was a great deal! They sat us on their patio which was a great place to people watch and enjoy the sun while still being covered by the umbrellas! Our server was also very well versed in the wines he was serving us which was fun to learn about. I always thought I didn't like wine and wanted to just go for the experience but this experience showed me there are great options I've never tried before that I might actually like! I definitely will come again!

We recently came for John Legend's concert. It was good, my wife and I enjoyed our time. The ambiance was pretty chill, we were in the grass area where you can bring your own comfortable chairs, blankets, non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. Some tips: 1. Plan your parking ahead of time, for this concert there was limited onsite parking for $50 and additional parking further (with shuttle service) for $20. The nearby fields also offered parking for $20 towards donations. 2. Go early, depending on where you park there is some walking to through crowds and 5-10min walk to get from the main door to the security line. The security line for us took about 30min. No TSA pre. 3. Make sure to go to their website and checkout what you can and cannot bring with you as this will make the process much smoother. 4. Plan for the weather, it was hot while the sun was out, but it got cold for the last hour for the show.

The winery grounds were lovely and the wine was good, though overpriced. But after the concert, things took a turn. We were quietly chatting under the trees, still a bit tipsy, when security came over to "check on us" and insisted on escorting us to our car. As we waited in the car for the traffic jam to clear out, two more guards came and aggressively shined flashlights into our car like we were doing something wrong. It was only 25 minutes after the show! Instead of letting people sober up or enjoy the space a little longer, security acted like their only goal was to kick everyone out as fast as possible. It completely ruined the vibe and left a sour taste in our mouth. Not the kind of hospitality you'd hope for after a relaxing evening.

Aesthetically a gorgeous place. Parking was easy, finding the tasting room was easy, and staff were friendly. I wish they would have told us more about the wines, they just gave us the list with descriptions, and the flight holders were awkward to carry. Pricing was steep in my opinion, and the wine frankly isn't very good. They all tasted super similar. I would go back just to enjoy the grounds and a glass on a nice day.

My husband and I did a wine tasting here with my sister and her husband. Wonderful grounds and a truly beautiful place to do a wine tasting. Nicely decorated for the holidays. Chateau Ste Michelle Winery produces excellent wines, I am particularly fond of their sparkling wine.

Wine Tasting Series, Part 4 Wineries...in the Pacific Northwest? That would have been news to me if it weren't for our friends @jnmgoose, @daphae11, and @fred.mougayer. That group of HT Friends (who have coincidentally never been in a room all together...thus far ) all recommended that we make the time to visit Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery and are we glad that someone () finally listened (‍)!!! While the "Wine Tasting Series" is a relatively new one, a clear favorite has emerged. I mean, what is there NOT to like here? The wine selection is extensive (including bubbly options), there is a calendar of live musical performances, their Summer Concert Series features a shocking number of quality musicians, they offer private Chateau Igloos, and they offer a (limited, but) quality diverse menu of food options. Although we didn't have the opportunity during our visit, we'd love to experience their "Bubbly Beats Experience" in the future which features curated song playlists linked to specific wine pairings. Oh, yeah. We are definitely hoping for a return visit. After all, we don't always drink sparkling wine, but when we do, we prefer Chateau Ste. Michelle Rose. And that's...Henry's Take. #pnwwineries

A Washington favorite! The chateau has a great selection of wines here. Their tasting room is huge and has plenty of space for big groups. The outside seating is really nice, especially in the summer time. I have been here in the early winter before and we reserved the igloo to sit in. That was a fun experience enjoying some good wine and charcuterie with some girlfriends. These igloos become quite popular during the holidays. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should! Take your family/friends:)

Came on beautiful Saturday afternoon. The weather was perfect. Pros: -Beautiful Grounds -Not Crazy Expensive -Really great food - high quality, fresh, and nicely assembled / thought out. The Burrata and Tomato board ($30) and Chateau Cheese Board ($30) were solid. -Tastings for $30 Cons: -Commercialized feel, some will like this though -First come first serve style seating (unless you have a reservation) so kind you will have to be lucky to get a seat if it is crowded. The entire process of getting seating is sort of confusing, to be honest.

Walked in on a busy day but was instantly approached by a nice gentleman who walked us over to the bar and sat us down for a wonderful time. It's so vibrant and beautiful inside.

We visited Chateau Ste Michelle Winery for lunch on 4/26/24 and it was such a pleasant experience. The property was so lovely and quiet, which made the overall experience so relaxing. Once we got inside to the winery/lunch area, we were overwhelmed with the amount of wine choices they had. Racks and racks of bottles you can choose from to either take home or enjoy there. We grabbed a bottle of Cabernet to enjoy with our Parmesan Fries, Flight Bites, Shrimp & Grits, and Flatbread. All of the staff members were so helpful and friendly (since it was our first time). I will definitely keep this place in mind for future Washington trips.

I loved this place !! The ambiance , the wine , the service , all 10/10. I made a reservation about 3 weeks in advance for a wine tasting and I'm glad I did because this place gets packed. I was with my toddler and they allowed her inside while my party of 3 tasted some wines . We had 4 of their top picks , all delicious but I'm a Sauvignon blanc type of gal and so I asked to try their horse heaven Sauvignon blanc and it was delicious. I had to take 2 bottles home with me and I live in NJ! Since we did the wine tasting we did get 15% off our bottles. We also decided to do the food pairing with the wine and choose the flight bites. They are literally bite size but all paired well with the wines and were delicious . I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that comes to visit or is in the area .

Had a wonderful visit and tasting experience with Ellie! You have a wonderful asset in her! She provided excellent service and was so warm and friendly!

Maddie!!!! This manager was sooooo attentive and working her butt off so much I couldn't tell she wasn't one of the regular working staff. The live music here was top notch and the wine of course spectacular. I would hands down go back!!!!

Super disappointed. In my Woodinville research, this came up as a must stop and I was expecting a beautiful historical French chateau style place. It was a rainy Nov day, so the reservations were indoor, and I was startled to walk into a tasting room that started with a gift shop and then felt like a food court at a Vegas hotel. Super commercial, no ambiance. All 4 wines in the Feature Flight tasting were bad (and I liked everything at other wineries before this). Not much interest or overview from our server as we were just one table of many. No food options offered. To make matters worse after some time passed, we still had a decent amount of pours left when someone came by to inform us we have to leave in 10 mins (aka two hours before closing) for a private event! No one mentioned this when we prepaid the reservation ...or when we were checked in ...or when we were seated. All in all, a massive letdown and I would fully recommend skipping unless weather is nice and you are here for the outdoor grounds, which seemed nice.
