I had bought two spots to the wine tour they were offering for a friends birthday. At first, we werent sure what to expect since the place looked a bit small. You know the saying, "Small things big personality?" well it applies to here [in a good way]. It was super easy to make a reservation for the tour and when we arrived 30 minutes early, the hostess was very friendly. She gave us our tickets which we could redeem for a cheese or meat plate or a glass of wine. My friend got a glass of wine while we waited. Before the tour took place, they took us up to a small room where they gave us each our own wine glass with the "Brooklyn Winery" engraved in it [you get to keep it]. We got to taste a bit of white wine while we waited for the tour to begin. Although, since my friend already had a glass, she double fisting her wine of glass with samples. Before the tour began, they allowed us to leave our stuff in a locked room where we would be visiting again to have more flights. The tour itself was very short, there was only two rooms in which we walked through but the tastings they gave had a very generous pour. The tour guide was very friendly and tried hard at being funny but I guess we were a tough crowd because no one really laughed. I believe we had roughly 12 tastings. I couldnt remember I got completely wasted after the 2nd flight and kept giggling [I dont really drink at all]. My friend on the other managed to finish all of my tastings and hers and she ordered more wine during dinner. Overall, the tour was very fun and informative and definitely worth the money if you are oenophile. After the tour was finished, they did lead you downstairs where you could redeem your ticket or you can enjoy a causal dinner with drinks. We got the cheese plate and it was a good size serving and buttermilk chicken bites, which was a bit smaller but just as delicious as the cheese plate. If you are going for drinks, I would definitely recommend the cheese plate. It was really good. I would recommend signing up for their loyalty card because you earn points when you buy food, drinks and bottles of wine for free stuff.

Our wedding was perfect - and I dont prescribe to hyperbole. Where to start? With a thank you to the BK Winery team. As I said in my toast, you all were so integral in making our day so meaningful. From the planning process to being a friendly face when we stopped by for a bite to eat, everyone was so incredibly professional and the day ran so smoothly I cannot begin to express what a relief and pleasure it was to choose the Brooklyn Winery as our wedding venue. They were brilliant. Its clear they are family there, and Emily loves her job as the wedding planner. What started as a few boxes of decorations and vendor contracts turned into a magical space that was both completely "us" and also definitely the winerys eclectic vibe. We loved every part of the experience and will happily throw future events there (if you arent booked up!). Oh. And we should probably talk about their dinner service as well - it was regarded as the best food people have had at a wedding, I take that as no small feat. And their wine is so very good. Youve upped the wedding game to a new level BK Winery - thank you thank you thank you.

I was shopping around venues when I got engaged, I wanted something simple and intimate. When my boss asked me to host our company holiday party I thought what better way to get the whole experience??? this was the perfect opportunity. The venue is warm, inviting and intimate. Somewhat seductive with the flicker of the candles illuminating each room, the rustic décor which was in good taste and most importantly the wine. Everyone left that night feeling really good such an amazing atmosphere. I received so many compliments which I took credit for but ever so grateful for The Brooklyn Winery Staff who played a good part in this event. They were so welcoming, the food very, very tasteful. Kara, Jessica and Sean were on top of everything and really helped out with suggestions, food choices and entertainment. This is a beautiful venue and I would recommend anyone to stop by for a glass of wine, a tour of the winery or host a party. And I will most certainly plan my simple Brooklyn Wedding in this beautiful Brooklyn Winery.

I came back early January on a mid-day double date - and was so blown away vs my previous visit. Our waitress suggested we hop on the winery tour that was about to start, kept an eye on our jackets, and brought us our wine to the back room so we could sip & learn. Noel, the tour guide, was outstanding - the kind of person you want to be friends with, and my husband, who rarely comments on other women in front of me said "that chick is awesome". A very fun afternoon jaunt followed by more wine and snacks. The menu is much more streamlined than it used to be. Loved my Old Vine Zinfandel on a cold day. Looking forward to coming back for the suggested addition of bubbles to a Rose.

The look, feel, smell, flavors, colors, sounds, staff, EVERYTHING! Came here for a date and this location is perfect for it, if you enjoy wine that is. Im no wine snob, but I definitely enjoy wine every so often. We both got a flight of three choices each for $30 total, which in it of itself is a great deal. The issue is I cant tell you the difference between styles of wine. Thankfully for us we had an amazing server who worked with both of us to select the right wines. When we got them, I couldnt have been happier. This is an enjoyable play to try wines, eat food, and enjoy the company of friends.

Nailed it! We are so very grateful and appreciative for all you and Brooklyn Winery did to make our Engagement party exceptional. The Staff is so professional, attentive and really nice people! The Atrium Room was so beautiful and the food was truly plentiful and fantastic. The food in the buffet area was artfully displayed and set off beautifully with candle light. The passed hors doeuvres were excellent, just as you stated they would be. I can not tell you how pleased we were and it was a wonderful party, thanks to you and all your crew at BW. Would highly recommend!

My job had a retreat that involved going to this winery. They set up a very nice wine and games night for us in their back room. We got to drink different whites and reds, and had some meat and cheese plates. They had wine/brooklyn trivia games and we broke in to teams to play them and afterwards we were served a delicious dinner with two entree options and two sides served up family style. Our main host was very friendly and me and my co workers had a great time here. I would highly recommend this place for corporate events.

I have a soft spot for this place because I had the opportunity to tour it before it was fully open. I like places that open the doors to future customers and give a sneak peak into the business. I have been a few time after the open and if I had the money, I would totally purchase a barrel to make my own wine. They also have a rooftop that I am planning to visit during the summer. Great place!
