Ive been a member here for 3 years. It was my favorite tasting room in Woodinville. Beautiful facility and delicious wines. Unfortunately, the last few times Ive gone in I have been not treated well by other members and the staff. A few weeks ago, I stopped in on a Wednesday afternoon. I was alone, quiet and mostly texted on my phone. I had 1 glass of wine over a 90 min visit. An older man walked by me and asked if "I was going to drink the place out of house and home." I am half the age of most other members here and native american. I found it very rude, but shook it off. Last Friday was a lovely sunny afternoon, I stopped in with my fiancé and a friend of mine. We ordered a bottle of wine between the 3 of us and several appetizers. Immediately, I noticed an older man staring me down. I felt very uncomfortable. Eventually, his wife came over a made a few rude commits to us. Shortly after that, the waitress CLAIRE, stormed over took our wine and told me I was cut off. I politely asked her why, as we were not overly loud, nor inappropriate in any way. I tried to talk to the another server in the winery about what had happen. Claire again stormed me and started yelling about how I was not to be served. Again, I asked why? What had I done? I was not intoxicated or inappropriate. She had no right to treat me this way. If there was a problem she should have spoken to us in a more appropriate manner. I am deeply offended by Claires behavior towards a long time member simply because wan older member told her to treat us poorly. Do yourselves a favor and spend your money at one of the many other lovely wineries in Woodinville!

Be cautious about this winery. They are a bit sneaky. This was our second stop for our tasting weekend. The lady who serve us said that the tasting cost is $12 which will be "comped," meaning complimentary if we buy $50 worth of wine after the tasting. We ended up buying $150 worth of wine which my friend paid for. While waiting them to finish the transaction, I went to the restroom then proceeded to the cheese area. The lady chased me to the cheese area asking me to pay for my tasting as I did not buy $50 worth of wine. I was shocked because she made me feel as if I stole something. I told her my friend paid for all our wine which is worth $150. She replied "well, I really do not have any way to comp your tasting. I wish I can do something but our computer just wont let me." I just paid and left thinking that I will never EVER come back to this place.

My daughter was married at the Columbia Winery this past October and working with Linda Conklin at the Winery was just such a pleasure! She was instrumental in making the day memorable with her thoughtfulness and attention to detail. I also have to comment on Daniels Catering...just incredible customer service! The manager who handled our event was exceptional in her professionalism, multi tasking and meticulous handling of all the details that are involved in a big day. We are so happy that Columbia Winery was all that we hoped for and more.....!!!

My sister in law and I popped in for some wine tasting and were so excited since we never have been here ... Excited about the reviews and so cute... HORRIBLE SERVICE ...to wait 15 minutes without a hello or even the slightest acknowledgment we were there was not only rude but completely inexcusable. They had 4-5 staff pouring and not even a " we will be right with you." shame on you..,you only get 1 change to make a first impression. You totally blew it!! Dont waste your money go support the smaller wineries.

Nice surroundings, but I would never serve any of the wines I tasted at Columbia. However, I found really good wine just around the corner at Distefano Winery and the tasting fee there was applied toward a purchase if you buy a bottle. I suggest that Columbia should be nothing more than a photo opportunity if you are visiting the Seattle area and then taste wine at of some of the many good wineries located in Woodinville.

Great service and very knowledgeable. Was greeted right when I entered and everyone was very friendly. I ended up becoming a wine member, which has great benefits compared to the other wineries in the area. I am now planning an event there for my company and they are very professional and helpful, and willing to work with you to get you whatever you need. Would recommend.

My husband and I go the Columbia Winery atleast once a month to taste the wine. Everytime we go we have great service and very knowledgeable staff! Last weekend I took a friend and we had Bill serve on us and he is the BEST!! WE just love Bill. Thanks so much for making it fun for us. I recommend Columbia Winery to everyone! Being a Club Member now, even better!

Ive gone to their Taste of Red event for years....and their overall quality has dipped. They do have some decent wines, but for good quality, Id look towards the other wineries in Woodinville. Id suggest the small wine producers throughout the area. They have great quality wine for the same price point as the two big boys...if not cheaper.

LOVED this place, was there on a weekend and was expecting it to be crazy crowded like all the other wineries we stopped at. But this place does it right having multiple locations to serve the wine and not crowding everyone to same tasting bar. Wine was delicious and service was friendly :)

Personally, I love Columbia Winery. The wine club provides immense value for the price. I get 4 shipments a year of the Columbia reserve wine, its five star quality at a medium price point. Its a beautiful place to spend a sunny afternoon.

Columbia has outstanding wines, spice,fruit etc.No bitter after taste. They are much more smoother then other wineries. Atmosphere; inviting,comfy, not cluttered with sale items. The grounds are beautiful.

Informative, but you will need to ask questions. Been around since 64. Riesling was nice and not too sweet, the cab is earthly and pretty good, so did the petit verdot.

Amazing wine flights and flatbread pizza. Plus, an open eating area with picnic tables in the front for dogs to join the fun. Cant wait to go back!

Daniel Warner

Im apart of the wine club and couldnt be happier. I love their premium wines, and the flat breads! Good service and good atmosphere!

Really beautiful chateau setting. A great place to hold an event or simply stop in to sample their excellent wines.

Slightly understaffed, expect to wait in a line for a while. Everything rest is perfect, if weather is perfect.

Love this winery. We did the flights and the wine was higher quality than the other wineries we went to.

Great wine and food. Tasting service was great and the server was very knowledgeable about the selection.
