Not a place to go if you actually want to enjoy the music. The winery is beautiful - had such great expectations for a relaxing evening. We have waited a long time to see Don Henley and the little bit of his performance we could hear over the loud drunks was amazing. But as the evening went on and people got drunker, they just started talking louder over the music. AND, this wasnt just a couple of people - it was consistent throughout the venue. For the life of me I cant imagine spending that much money to act like youre in a bar. Ive attended a number of concerts recently - even some heavy metal large venue concerts - and the people at the winery were far more inconsiderate and obnoxious. The set up added to the poor sound quality. It seemed like the sound system wasnt set up to handle the space and rather than having walk ways around the perimeter there were people constantly standing up and walking through the crowd. Unfortunately, I have tickets to another show this summer - at least now our expectations are level set. That will likely be the last show we see there. Great place to party - lousy venue if you actually go to enjoy the music.

I love jazz and have attended the all of the jazz festivals there since 2004. Recently, I went heard about the jazz function on July 27 and went online to order a ticket. I inserted Chateau St Michelle and clicked on Chateau St Michelle - Official Tickets Source Online. I clicked on this and then went to July 27, clicked ordered a ticket. The cheapest ticket at that time was 73.00 with a picture of a seating area. The bottom line is I paid 108.00 for tickets and then found out via my neighbor that they got tickets for 54.00 for their lawn seat. I paid double to sit on the ground! I think that you should have the Woodinville Tickets - Official Tickets Online removed as it quite misleading and perpetrating what I would translate as borderline fraud. I would have never willingly paid 108.00 to sit on the lawn had I not been deceived to do so. Their name should not be associated with Chateau St. Michelle if they are not representing you. I would like a second ticket to make up the difference of what I paid or be interested in a full refund. Rather than rate this issue as poor or fair, I would rate it unacceptable at this point.

My wife and I stopped here on our drive back to Seattle from Vancouver, Canada. We needed to make some time before our flight but to Los Angeles out of Seattle and each of us decided to choose a place to make a stop. I chose a lighthouse to make a stop and she chose a winery. Well, the winery won. Ill have to check out the lighthouse on our next trip. We took a tour of the Chateau Ste. Winery and were offered a taste of three different wines during the tour. A Chardonnay, a Cabaret Sauvignon and a Moscato. The Chardonnay and Sauvignon were delicious and we decided to buy a bottle of eaxh. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone in the group was sticking together and within an earshot of her. We ended up buying some jamón ibérico, cheese and crackers and opened up the Chardonnay to have on one of the tables right outside the Chateau. The winery is located on beautiful grounds. I only wish we would of had more time to explore and enjoy the area more.

Went here on Saturday and all their tours were booked up by 4pm. Add more tours! I do not like the new remodel area. Too fancy and modern doesnt blend as well with the property grounds and the building. Not enough tasting servers either and too crowded near the bar area to even ask for a glass of wine. We ended up purchasing a couple of wine bottles for our group of 5 and some plastic glasses and drinking it on the lawn. It was not nearly as loud and crowded outside. Didnt like all the small children running aimlessly all over the property grounds screaming and being annoying to others. Felt like the kids were left on the property while the parents were inside tasting wine or across the street at Columbia. Didnt like how the kids were bothering the caged peacock either. Need better supervision on your property to curtail the insanity of unsupervised children.

A lot of friends have raved over Chateau St Michelle and their concert series. Never been a huge fan of their wines but my boyfriend and I figured we would give it a shot. We split a couple tastings and remain disappointed. Wines very over priced with low quality characteristics. Water stations were not available, which seems odd with a privately owned venue. We were told we needed to walk around the building to the store entrance to access the restroom, only to find that where we had initially tried to enter was right next to the restrooms. Because we werent "Reserve" we werent able to access the building at that entry. The overall experience was a disappointment with the severe corporate atmosphere. Although the concert was enjoyable we chose to leave early based on our experiences that afternoon with zero intention of returning.

This is concert is an extreme fail of an experience. I dont understand why you would post rules on your website that say dancing and standing on sidelines only, and then not enforce the rules. i came to this venue with the expectation to be able to see the show. I have spoken to security about the issue and they were unaware this was even a posted rule on your website. I am extremely disappointed that I came here with the basic expectation of seeing a show, and all I get to do is stare at the person in front of my seats butt. If this is considered acceptable I will never attend your events again, and advise people against doing so. I am extremely disappointed those rules would be posted but enforced.

This is a fun place to take out of town guests! I love the free wine tour and the beautiful grounds. The service here ranges from average to good. We have done the tour twice and had one awesome tour guide and one completely uninformative tour guide. Now that the renovations are complete, the tasting room is a good place to hang out if you want to take your time while browsing for wine related gifts or pay for a few more samples then what is included with tour. I personally love the wines, though they only do the white wines here. So, if you only like red wines, then this place probably wont interest you that much. However, if you do like white wines, then the Chardonnay is to die for.

I went here recently with a close friend to celebrate my Birthday. We had the BEST time. We took the tour with Jan, who was absolutely fabulous. It happened to just be the three of us on the tour so we were able to get a lengthy tour with a lot of information. Jan made sure I had a great Birthday. Then we decided to do a paid tasting. I tried the reisling flight and my friend tried the estate flight. We were both impressed. I LOVE the reislings. Then we went to the gift shops (which has a great selection of cute things and Christmas decor) and we ended up leaving with 5 bottles! Daniel was our cashier and he was really friendly and helpful. Thanks again for the great Birthday!
