Covington Cellars - Woodinville

Great range of wines that'll please everyone. My friend and I visited Covington Cellars and had a nice time here. Located in the north industrial area of Woodinville, it's easy to spot with its large tent, that had a handful of tables and was busier than other tasting rooms nearby. We made a reservation via e-mail, which the staff responded soon after, indicating that they were dog-friendly. Specifically, if you come here as a passport holder, they have specific hours for passport holders, so recommendations are strongly recommended if you have the passport. After checking in, we were provided a passport tasting menu, so I assume that differs from other tasting menus they may have. Either way, I enjoyed what they offered on the passport tasting menu. We tried four wines, starting with a rose and three reds. The rose was nice, and liked that it wasn't too sweet. It had a nice balance of dry and fruity. The reds were good, but my favorite was the cab franc. It was very bold, savory and robust, which is how I like my wines. I highly recommend trying the cab franc here! Staff checked in with us, to make sure our glass wasn't empty for too long. They have two adorable dogs who hang out with guests, which I loved! Overall, we had a nice time here and is worth a visit if in the area.

Dog friendly, which is great. They also have dogs there themselves which is nice. They honored the Wine Pass, which is good and didn't treat Pass holders any different than any other customers. They also partnered with a BBQ food truck that was onsite and who made great BBQ that paired well with the wines. Highly recommend it! The wines were very good, and a good value too. Our favorite was the Sangiovese, but their Red Blend, Cab Franc and Rose were also great. The vinter is a Navy man and it's nice to support our vets. All in all this place was amazing. Will be back.

Solid wines from both them and Two Vintners (both are the same parent comoany). I enjoyed the sangiovese/syrah blend.

Very awkward experience. They do not honor woodinville wine passports during covid (nearly every other winery does) because they want to take you through their exclusive walk through of the winery... The owner was nice enough to come chat with us, and they did decide to honor 2 of our 4 passports if we bought a bottle of wine (not sure why we even had to negotiate). All that said, the wine is okay, but the experience was cringe worthy and they made us feel quite uncomfortable throughout our time there. If you don’t want people to try your wine on the passport, just tell people that before you seat them so you can avoid creating an uncomfortable experience for wine patrons.

Awesome people to work with great selection of high end wines
