"Maybe it’s the wine talking, but a lot of the tasting rooms in Woodinville tend to blur together - Sometimes it doesn’t matter where you drink Roussanne straight from the bottle while sitting on a picnic blanket as long as you’re drinking Roussanne straight from the bottle while sitting on a picnic blanket. Mark Ryan is the winery that stands out, and it’s simply because they make the best wine. Everything they produce is excellent, from the Numbskull GSM to the Viognier. Stick around for an hour or so and savor them slowly in the art-covered tasting room. It’s all worth the higher price tag, but they also have a more reasonable label called Board Track Racer where you can get something like a nice $15 Chardonnay. Use Mark Ryan as your first stop on a tour of many tasting rooms, or as your only stop if you’re just going to pick one for some reason." - Aimee Rizzo

My review is while I’m still sitting in the Mark Ryan tasting room. I leave this review not because the wine is bad, I absolutely love their wine. The service has been terrible since I have been here. It’s 6:46PM right now and I got here at around 6:00PM. I was told to sit where I like and that I would be helped, after my first pour I have been sitting for nearly 35 minutes with zero contact. Apparently hiring very attractive young girls is a bad idea since this generations has no clue as how to talk to people. Terrible is all I can say so far about this experience. Also, my first time to their new tasting room. If the manager happens to be here and read this within the time I’m here, im sitting on the 2nd floor nearest the door. The servers have looked and even made eye contact with me and nothing. I should not have to wave them down, I have great experiences at Darby, Efeste, Stevens and Elevation cellars, so explain to me why it’s so terrible here?! I continue to edit this review, it’s now 7:01PM and still nothing, no one has even said hi to me.

Did a tasting Saturday early afternoon and it was pretty busy but they were able to get us in for a standing table. We got a glass of bubbly chardonnay as the welcome taste and then got to pick from either the classic ($35) or reserve ($60) tasting set. They are dog friendly and there were lots of pups hanging out. They have a water cooler. There is a snack menu with things like crackers and cheese and also a wine by the glass option. They introduced each wine but telling us where the grapes were grown. The space was open and airy and we were able to easily carry on a conversation even though the room was full. There was also an upstairs outdoor balcony with heaters but I don't think they were doing tastings there. Parking is not sufficient. We had to circle searching for a spot and many people gave up and parked illegally. There is an old rail trail (Eastrail) across the street if you need a place to walk it off. Our server didn't know about it, but it is there. Not much of interest to look at, but it is a nice long flat gravel trail and there are Rainier views on a good day. There is also the Sammamish River Trail if you walk down the road further.

Enjoyed the new bigger tasting room in Woodinville. Friendly staff and good Red Mountain wines.

Terrible if you love wine. Very tannic and pungent aftertaste. Great atmosphere if you want to drink bad wine in a pretty atmosphere. Even their reserve wines in their reserve tasting ($60) was terrible. Go next door to DeLille or Long Shadow instead.

Tired of Seattle people touting their Mark Ryan winery - when every experience there is disappointing - the server wanted the credit card right after the 1st pour - not a single word about any of wines being poured - when someone ordered some food, same thing - before the cheese plate hit the table came the iPad and the demand for credit card - and the invariable question of how many bottles are we buying Thought wine tasting is supposed to be an experience, and not just a sale of wine. Wished it was more welcoming and did more the explain the winery and the different wines!!

Sally was so personable. We loved chatting with her. She's the Ted Lasso of the wine industry (and literally from Richmond England) and Mark Ryan is lucky to have her! The wine was fantastic as well!

The new mark ryan tasting room is gorgeous and was our favorite of the day Open, modern and very comfortable. Wines were all very good and the service is top notch. Especially loved the Viognier and Mourvèdre. Light snacks are available as well

We came in having made a reservation and were seated in the patio without service. I was hoping to become a member but the experience was subpar compared to the other wineries I have tried. The service was ok-ish, the small bites were terrible.

A 3.5 stars would be appropriate rating so I'm being nice. The building is beautiful, lots of parking and dog friendly. The wine is good, everyone has their own preferences. The service is average, and while You have some very nice and personable servers and others not so much. I also think I they were short staffed. Woodinville has way too many options so I probably won't be back for a while.

The MR is winery is absolutely beautiful and bursting at the seams with people, probably because their new building is so much better than their old building, and they made a giant investment in a beautiful patio with fireside seating. They also offered late hours which helps accommodate so many people that want to keep drinking wine after 4 PM. We love Mark Ryan, especially in Walla Walla, where we get phenomenal customer service and a memory making experience. I have to say this Woodenville staff was very disappointing. They were unfriendly, unwelcoming, and acted like I should know exactly what their rules are about "no longer serving tastings after 5 PM (insert eye roll here!" Every winery is different, and so no I did not know that it was glass pours only, and I was made to feel shamed that I would ask such a question about tastings. The staff was dismissive and seemed very put out. We bought a bottle, why are you exasperated Mr? We belong to almost 10 wine clubs, locally, and Mark Ryan is not one of them. I told my husband after this experience, of course we can buy their wine on occasion, but I don't wanna go back. There are so many places in Woodinville that treat you so lovely, why do we want to go back for the customer service abuse here? We are not snobs. Why is your staff acting snobby? It's so unnecessary. Maybe the staff is overwhelmed or having a bad day, but no wine is delicious enough to deal with a pretentious attitude. It's too bad because they do have one of the best patios, and best hours and really good wine. My husband wants to go back... But I'm going to encourage a new place.

I went to the Mark Ryan Winery a week or two ago. This Winery has been on my list for a while, and I felt really happy with my experience here. I was welcomed by a very bubbly lady. I initially asked her if I could taste some of the Board Track Racer wines, but she explained to me that this location of the Winery doesn't really specialize in those, so they didn't have any of those bottles open for the tastings that day. I explained to her that I was going to a Dinner Party and that my friend Sharon (who was hosting the Dinner Party) didn't yet know what the menu for the dinner party was going to be, so I was unable to ask for a specific food pairing for my wine. Sharon and I have switched off hosting small Dinner Parties every month for the year of 2024, and it's working well for us thus far. I hosted the first Dinner Party in January, and she brought wine. I found out that she is a member of a Wine Club, so I really wanted to bring tasty bottles of wine when she is hosting. The bubbly lady said that some of Mark Ryan's wines are made so that they do not have to be paired with a specific food or foods, so I thought that was nice. After I explained the situation to the lady (I didn't get her name), she immediately recommended the "Dissident" Cabernet Sauvignon. At 45 dollars it was slightly higher than I expected to spend, but once I tasted it I was sold! Sharon loved the Dissident wine. She refilled her wine glass 3 times and she finished off the bottle! I was so happy to see that, and I felt very proud to bring the Dissident wine to her dinner party. I had just one glass of wine with dinner. Usually I actually drink a glass of wine with my dinner about every 3 months or so! I like a nice glass of wine, it is just something that I typically indulge in somewhat rarely. I haven't yet encountered a wine that has motivated me to have a second glass of it in a single dinner. But if I ever do, I will probably be yelping about it! However, in 2024 I have been having one glass of wine per month, due to the Dinner Parties. This is actually way more wine than I usually drink! So, I am seeing this as a great opportunity to explore more of what Woodinville Wine Country has to offer. This Winery's ambiance was my vibe. High wood ceilings, gleaming grays, blacks, and whites, and framed photos of bands and concerts. I felt very comfortable and happy there. This visit was more of a check off on my to do list, as I was heading out to play tennis with a companion immediately after my visit, so I kept this visit pretty brief. However, this Winery is somewhere that I personally would feel very comfortable hanging out for a while and enjoying a more comprehensive tasting, which I may do at some point down the road. There are so many great wineries in the Woodinville area, and I'm happy that I tried this one. 5 stars for sure.

I really love the new location of Mark Ryan. A beautiful space and inviting atmosphere. We walked in 30 min before closing and were greeted and immediately seated, which I really appreciate the friendliness. Our pourer was Melissa and she was so nice and helpful! I really appreciated all of her recommendations and you can tell she really cares about the wine and experience. So why are the 2 stars missing? I bought a few bottles and was excited to tip the staff as they did an amazing job, as I was paying - I didn't see the tip option. So I asked where it was and that's when I was informed: THEY DON'T OFFER AN OPTION TO TIP THE WAITSTAFF. What?!!!!! I get that the tipping craze is a little out of hand in certain places but NOT when that is the whole point of their job!!! That's terrible treatment of the employees, Mark Ryan - do better for your staff because I HIGHLY doubt you're paying them a livable wage to make up for the lack of tips they receive since people barely carry cash these days. Thankfully we did have cash that day. Cheers to the staff - shame on the management.

Love the new tasting room! Great wine (of course), great people and a fantastic space! A definite must hit when coming through Woodinville

In short A big new space in the converted old brewery. Fantastic wine. Not exactly cheap, but fantastic without a doubt. In long I can remember when this building went up as a brewery. In the 90s, it was a great sign for the coming craft-beer revolution. An independent brewhouse reaching this scale? It was exciting! Well, the industrial breweries have made more and more offers that the little guys couldn't refuse, so many little guys have semi-disappeared from the beer world, and this big space is now chopped up to share among many local wineries. Thankfully, pretty much everybody on this campus makes very good wine. Mark Ryan is sort of out front, but parking's around back, so you're kind of driving past everybody to get here, anyway. It's a big building, and even with just a part of it, MR has a huge space. Most winery (and brewery) tasting rooms can be laid out in funky, fun ways, because they're trying to scrape together enough room for the public to come bend an elbow. Not here. You walk in to a huge foyer, with high ceilings, lots of framed concert posters, and little dibs and dabs of seating here and there. Dark walls. Concrete floors. Well lit, but feels like you entered sort of a secret space. Or maybe it's so minimalist that it's not obvious about what it's doing. It's welcoming and cheerful despite the colors and minimalism. And maybe it seems less than obvious only because most winery tasting rooms seem the same (old barrels, vineyard photos, inexpensive furniture, etc) , and this one dares to look different. It seems to be entirely focused on retail and tasting. No production or aging happening that you can see. The staff are super friendly, and as you walk through to the cavernous main room they're already asking what you're up to today and what you'd like. You can get flights of the more everyday wines MR makes, or of the fancier stuff. Yesterday 5 tastes of each were $35 and $45, respectively. With tax, that's $88 for about 3 glasses' worth of wine, combined. To me, the value for this is there, because you're getting tastes of wine that all cost in the $50-100 range per bottle, so you can be certain of which ones are worth their bottle cost. If you buy a minimum amount they refund the flight fees. So it's much like any other winery tasting room's M.O., just at a higher price point. We came home with chardonnay bottles and syrah bottles--each was among the best examples we've had of those styles. Aside from tons of concert posters and photos framed on the walls, there are also vintage motorcycles parked around the tasting room. MR has multiple wines named for Pearl Jam songs, along with a whole sub-brand named for old cycles (Board Track Racer). More than most wineries, MR does a good job putting memorable names on their bottles, which makes it easy to keep track of them all. This is an especially good thing given that they have 5 different brands with different label/naming personalities, price points, and wine character. In the end, this is an easy place to come ask tons of questions and learn a lot about many different wines. They do have snacks, and of course plenty of bottles available to go. It's not quite a neighborhood watering hole but you do feel comfortable hanging out here and savoring everything, even if it takes a little while. You could easily hop from room to room around this complex and make an entire day's wine country "tour" out of it...provided someone else is driving you home. Highly recommended.

We love this winery! We became members a couple quarters ago and are constantly impressed by their wine. We make a date of it all the time to go to do the tastings. The service is the best. We always have the most friendly and knowledgeable people to keep us happy and keep the wine coming! Cassie was so wonderful and gave great recommendations. Thank you Mark Ryan!

This winery is a great place to meet in groups or for a nice date. Open concept and modern environment. Parking is free. Lots of other wineries near by. The service was wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed. The food menu is small with store premade cheese and meat packages.

With each winery we toured in the Seattle area, there was a different vibe! This one is a bit more laid back in the PNW relaxed way! Servers graciously attend to tables with a smile. The wines are very good and we enjoyed a Pinot! I would definitely recommend a visit if you enjoy wine!

Diane S.

The place is beautifully decorated and the wine server seemed very knowledgeable and friendly. Also the dishes we ordered to go with wine were delicious. We ended up buying two bottles of wine. Highly recommended.

Diana G.

We walked in without a reservation. We were seated right away and then someone came over to ask if we had questions. She was able to help us decide what glass if wine would be best for all of us. They do have mostly bold reds, but she was able to make the best recommendations. I had the 2019 dead horse. Loved it. If you like dry reds, grab this next time you're there. It is spacious inside, so you're not crowded in with others. Parking is available on site, but shared with other businesses.

I was asked to move for a larger party to sit where I was sitting. Not a problem. They tried to get me outside, but I didn't want to sit in the sun. Went upstairs. There was a couple hosting a tasting. Fine. But as a single person I didn't feel welcome. I just wanted to sit and have a couple glasses of wine. The wine was good. The hospitality was not.

Made reservations in advance by prepayment. Tasting fee can be applied towards $50 purchase. You could buy one bottle for $50 or you could buy two for $25 each and still get your tasting fee waived. The flight was presented in little carafes and we self poured the wine into our glasses. They have some little bites you can order too. IMO, the pours are too little. Could be a bit more generous! My favorite is the Dead Horse , 92% Cab Sauvignon. Oh, the rock and roll music art and the motorcycles give it a very chic ambiance. Nice place to taste some wine, buy the Dead Horse, get the tasting waived and hangout rest of the day sipping and chatting.

We had a nice visit to the tasting room. Leanne was our server and very helpful and informative. Love the new modern space for tastings. Only con is that there was no option when paying bill to tip our server/host. What?!? Hope this changes because I felt like the hosts were working hard and it would have been nice to tip.

Loved our experience here! There are plenty of tasting rooms down this strip, but this winery was recommend to us by a friend. We (group of 4) risked walking in on a Sunday with no reservations and were able to get seated for a tasting. The waitress was so knowledgeable and friendly, she even gave our designated driver a complimentary, non-alcoholic drink. I had such a lovely time here, I definitely plan to return!

Mark Ryan Winery always has great service. My in-laws are members and they always do a great job with their level of service.

Reserved for tasting thru Tock - advanced payment required. The tasting room is inside of a mall strip, alongside with many other tasting rooms. We choose Mark Ryan because it had the most reviews and presence on Tock - they also have a location in Walla Walla which gave an impression they are serious wine business (i.e. IMO produce quality wines, branding, estate grown fruits, and distribute outside of the region). We did a flight of 5 wines (about 1/4 of the list), the variety of wines were carried thru the nice carafe, and we redistribute among ourselves to the wine glass. I particular liked Long Haul, a blend of 72% merlot, 17% CS, 10% Cab Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, a tasting note of tobacco, oak, blackberry and dried herbs. Each tasting fee of $20 applies toward $50 purchase. A great incentive to pick wines we like and walk away with nice bottles save for the future to enjoy!

The wine is 5-stars while all the winery tasting rooms, traffic and parking chaos is 3-stars so I'll average it out be a 4-star experience. The wine is exceptional for the pricing and I'd definitely recommend joining one of their 2 wine clubs where you can get 10% or 15% cost saving on purchases with a lot more benefits. Search for their website to see the details for joining a wine club. The location is within walking distance to many different winery tasting rooms and very close to the Burke Gilman trail so many bikers dropping by for wine or food. I highly recommend you get a reservation before coming as dropping by may find you can't be seated for a tasting, especially during the weekends or on holidays. Matter of fact, you should research other tasting rooms within walking distance with Yelp and make two reservations with an hour in between for lunch or pizza at a near by restaurants. With a reservation you get 5 pours and the cost of the reservation and pours can be applied to bottle purchases. Again, check their website as things can change from the time this review is written and when you read and go to Mark Ryan Winery. We ended up joining the "Little Dissident Club" and purchased 6 bottles of wine on our 1st visit. So, we're definitely a fan. It's a shame we didn't discover this winery 5 years ago. Better late than never, right!

It's always a fun time at Mark Ryan Winery. Compared to many of the wineries in Woodinville, this winery is very approachable, laid-back and lively. With that said, it always seems to be a stop of mine when in Woodinville. The tasting room is located among many other wineries and businesses in the Hollywood Schoolhouse District. Because it's in a retail space in a business strip, parking is plenty and can easily be found in the lot. The space is pretty large and open, which is nice, especially for large parties. There are a few tables to congregate around, but even when the place gets busy and there are no tables to claim, everyone seems to be okay with standing around, hovering around the bar or another open area while sipping on wines. That's what I like about this place. Everyone here is always chill, including the dogs! Staff is always very friendly and goes around with bottles of wine, to make sure whoever is doing tastings, that they're set for the next sample. I've always had great customer service here, no matter how busy it gets. The wines are solid at Mark Ryan. Of all the varieties, I like the Dissident wine the best, which is a red blend, primarily of cabernet sauvignon. You can't go wrong with this bottle of wine, as it has the perfect balance of smokiness and fruity. Be sure to try this one! Overall, Mark Ryan is a great place for wine tasting. If you want a more formal experience where you're able to sit down, sniff and sip, then this may not be for you. It's a place where everyone seems to mingle, be loud and lively and gets a little drunk. My kind of scene.

Yelp
The fantastic thing about this winery and why we love them so much is the vibe. It is a place that is active and a buzz and not your typical hush and taste old-school tasting room. You will see pets, kids, and everyone feels welcome. There is a tv in the back corner so you can even go hang out for a game while enjoying a tasting. Their decor is modern and fun featuring band posters, motorcycles and more. Their wine club hosts super fun parties with tom Douglas catered food trucks. We have been thinking about joining for years! Do note, their wines are fantastic but spendy, and the $15 tasting fee is only waived with a $40 Purchase.

Heidi M.

Yelp
Good place to visit for a tasting. Their price per tasting is fair and their bottle prices are good. Fun spot to people watch as well. I recommend the Dead Horse Cab - yum! The grapes are sourced from Red Mountain and wine is aged in french oak, what's not to like! Staff is always friendly and they may even teach you something about wine you didn't already know. Parking can be a challenge, be patient.

Amy M.

Yelp
Such a bad experience today. Not worth the $25 tasting fee. The service when we first walked in was welcoming. We got a taste while we waited, which was great. Then, it went downhill. The attendant (?) did not share any details about the wine, and when we asked, she pointed out the information on the menu only, for us to read on our own. She left us with empty glasses for extended periods of time, and then mumbled the next tasting when she did approach. She never approached us to check out or purchase wines, so having prepaid the tastings, we just left! Absolutely terrible "tasting" experience, if that's what you're looking for. We had just come from JM Cellars which blew this experience out of the water. We've been to Mark Ryan 2 other times and had far better experiences,, so hopefully this is not a trend. We won't be back anytime soon though.

Great wine and cool local Woodinville Winery. Probably the best tasting wine in the area. I joined both clubs just for the fun of it. Super excited for the fall release!

One quick addition to my recent review - bring cash for your tip - surprisingly their payment system doesn't allow you to add your tip to your card payment - hopefully management will revise that!

Dayna L.

Affordable tasting fee, lively outdoor seating, and good selection. I preferred the long haul out of the 5 samples we were given. Their table was extremely small so it was hard to find space for our glasses and the tasting set up ( comfy seats though). The staff was friendly but I would have preferred a little more interaction either offering knowledge of the wines or checking in on us but they did say they were a full house so it is understandable that they were busy.

9 of us - we had multiple reservations and they kindly sat us together. It was a beautiful day and we had an amazing time. I am so sorry for not remembering her name - she referred to herself as a ginger ;-) and she was wonderful. Definitely enthusiastic about the wines. Did such a nice job presenting them...and between beautiful labels, a few fan favorites - Dissident, and then of course the 'witch one' ;-) it was a great tasting! Lots of laughter and amazing treat for out of town guests. I can't wait to bring the next group here as well.... thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Must have been told unnecessarily at least 3 times during our visit that we must leave within an hour of sitting. Felt pretty rushed for no reason. Charcuterie was served in a plastic container like at a grocery store. At least put the food on a plate? Would definitely recommend other tastings in the area.

From check in to check out seemed very transactional. The only winery that is 45 minutes and charges upfront; should have known. The hostess was very cold, icy. Jack was great. Just not cool for a bday event. Columbia and novelty-Hill Januik were not only accommodating and informational, it felt friendly and community oriented. Customer service isn't here. I love this wine and I love wineries and maybe she was having a bad day, but all of us know in industries where customer service make or break, this can't happen. Is the

Wonderful wine tasting flight! Outdoor seating worked well, suggest some heaters be moved outside.

Had so much fun here while we were waiting for a table at The Commons. Everyone that worked there was so friendly and the wine was fantastic. We asked if we could try the rosé and they were happy to pour it for us. One of my favorite tasting rooms in the area.

Brenda S.

Yelp
The funny thing about this area is that the tasting rooms are mostly in strip malls. So really, you're just kind of going to a bar that does only wine. Luckily, this place was recommended to us as having really good wine, and it did not disappoint. The tasting room is big, and there are a number of community tables, so expect to share your space on a busy weekend. Because we all like Pinots, we opted to go with the Megan Anne Pinot Noir tasting rather than the Mark West tasting that included other varietals. We enjoyed them so much that we bought a couple bottles to take home.

M T.

Yelp
They forced us to pre-pay& then they tell us we have to get out in an hour. For four of us we were expected to know how to pour the wine exactly from these little things. The service was interesting as we were serving ourselves and trying to make sure everyone had the same size. Next time we will PASS!! Wine was ok.

Fantastic red blends and cab showcasing what Washington wine can be. Great ambiance and service at the tasting room. Easy decision to join the club - we'll be back

We had a reservation for 4 people. Had to prepay $88 for our tasting. We arrived and they put us in a corner with two chairs. Lots of tables and chairs available inside and outside but the gal was very rude. We asked for a refund and left to a friendly winery.

Yelp
Think this is my second or third time at Mark Ryan. There were about seven in our group and I believe my friend is a member of their wine club so were set up at a nice tasting table. The staff was friendly and informative. They were well versed on the each wine. We had a small cheese plate while we were there. The tasting went smoothly it was well paced there were very alert to when to do the next pour. The décor is mostly art of musicians mostly local I believe. I've always enjoyed their wines whenever I've visited or when sharing a bottle with a friend. It's a popular tasting room and one we always like to come to when we're in Woodinville for tasting.

Athene D.

Yelp
There tasting room is large however it fills up quickly. Minimal design which is nice as you can sit and chat with friends without a ton of stuff in the way. The artwork on the wall it's great to look at, they brought in some fun pieces. The wine is a step up from the grocery store however I didn't find anything terribly special here. It is a fun time to visit the winery tasting rooms here in woodenville. The price per tasting is fair. The staff seemed flustered and overworked so I never got to hear the story behind the wines, which is why I go to tastings. I want to hear The who, what, where, when, and why's about the win!

Geoffrey C.

Yelp
Excellent wines (some of the best in the tasting vicinity); a nice tasting room, and friendly/helpful staff - what more needs to be said. Like all things in the area, plan for peak times accordingly (parking can be scant). On a Tuesday (mid-day), we practically had the place to ourselves.

Mike P.

Yelp
Arrived early to witness the Tasting Room Manager getting his dry cleaning out of his SUV. Full wardrobe and super hero attire in said SUV....Concerned we may enter the premises 8 minutes early, he locked the door behind him, going in and out (dude, I can read my watch). Upon entering we were greeted with eager volunteers (do they get paid with wine?!?!...) we had an amazing wine tasting. Billy (aka Fifi, Billie, Smokey the Bear, William, Willie, Fun Size) joke shamed us. And we loved every second! Please, come for a tasting, join the club and meet our favorite, The Step-Dad Joke Comedian.

About 7 years ago we rode our bikes along the Sammamish River and found our way to Mark Ryan. We walked in with our 9 month old and were kindly welcomed. They brought out corks and boxes for him to play with. We signed up.for a membership that day and have never looked back! The wine is lovely, the space is gorgeous, and the staff is amazing. You'll see Bachelorette parties, business drinks, birthday celebrations, and families enjoying their time here. They have very conservative covid guidelines to keep their customers safe. Joining a wine club is the key to happiness and Mark Ryan delivers that joy!

We were very disappointed. We booked a reservation weeks in advance only to be told once we got there we only had an hour time to go through our tasting. They needed our spot for another party. We felt like we were taking shots not sipping wine. They constantly kept coming by to remind us our time was almost over. This was not ok!

Lovefest!! Been to this place umpteenth times and then some. Love the open room, minimal yet modern design! And of course~ the wine!!! Love the wine!! I've done their tasting flights as well as bottles. Vigonier is nice and crisp. Wilde eye is pretty good. Numbskull is Syrah mix. And my favorite ~ the chief ~ Cabernet Sauvignon! There's purple cafe and sushi next door for post wine eats. You can also grab a bottle or two, bring your puppy, friends, kids and spend a day here!! And their wines are just what the doctor orders on a cold Seattle day!!! Their Viognier is great if you want white. For red, try the rich Numbskull! Tasting fees are around $10. Quite reasonable. Bottles start around $28 for red. Parking lot is right out front. It can be tricky to find a spot on the weekend since you're next to so many other tasting rooms but it usually doesn't take that long. You can also park across the street for free. All you need is your wine love!!

No tip bar for tasting room employees. They also are making guests sit outside during COVID but not allowing them to bring outside food but not serving any food themselves.

Always enjoy the Woodinville Tasting of fine Mark Ryan wines! With Fabulous Cabs and Fifi, on staff- loading up the grocery getter, life doesn't get any better. Cheers!

This has got to be the best winery in Woodinville. Dead horse & dissident are my top. Cool atmosphere. Been drinking this for 4 years. Check it out.

Not a bad place. It was a little difficult to figure out their seating arrangements. Their taster was a bunch young wines which had some very strong, bold flavors. At least our server Jay was able to have us try something a little more subtle. We ended up getting 3 bottles. I'm not a fan of a taster that is preset, but I understand. The parking lot is absolutely crazy and doesn't provide a relaxing moment for the experience. I was going to rate this 3 stars but our Server Jay really kept that 4th star on the rating. Solid work Jay!

Good vibes, the wine was less than desired but I loved the atmosphere and they had some very good music playing. It's located next to plenty of tasting rooms and places to eat so you can walk from place to the other.

Wines here are great and totally up our alley #earthy #suppletannins #smooth #woody #balanced even for young wines. The space is cool and a little "hipster" for Woodinville. Open "garage" concept with motorcycle props. I get the feeling most tasters here are non-wine aficionados but younger amateur crowds here for the notoriety, so expect more drunkards. Anticipate a younger crowd. It's a a shame because the wines here are top notch and deserve an audience who appreciate the complexity and Amami qualities of the wine rather than a party atmosphere.

If you are looking for a chilled low key winery, this is the place for you. Nice big open space. One of my favorite wineries in Woodinville!!! Great Award winning, Wine Selection. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Mark Ryan Winery is a popular winery, so it does get crowded.

Their wine are good. We enjoy the lonely hearts and usually get a bottle when we come out here. Their service however, they need to be more friendly. They all look like they hate their jobs. When tasting at least a smile would be nice but no it's more like which one are you on or maybe ask how did you like the first one. Very reserved and it make us not wanna go there.
