Tefft Cellars Tasting Room

My boyfriend and I added them to our «must stops» on our mini wine tasting tour… sadly they were closed. Some sign posted about their alcohol license.
I am sure they are frustrated but would of been nice if they posted a message on their site saying they were closed till further notice?
Maybe we will catch them some other time.

Undecided. I went to a Smokin Hot release party last night. Wine was good, because I had to buy a bottle when I got there, but I didn’t get but one taste while there. One server for 100 guests? Clearly unprepared.
I had also pre-​purchased a $ 54 membership that was unrecognized by the owner… Not cool and she was so rude about it! I even had the invoice to show her.
All I can say is, the Firemen were hot & my money went to a good cause, but I’m not sold on the cellar yet.

My friends and I recently visited Tefft for a private evening of tasting. The owner took us on a whirlwind tour of his selection and we tasted some amazing blends and different grape types. He educated us on the different types of grapes and regions around the state.
This was the second time visiting Tefft for some of us so it was great to get back again. They also make an amazing red table wine that is sold in a box. It’s great for cooking with or that evening glass or two of wine with dinner.
We’ll be back again for sure! Thanks for a great evening!

What a gem! It really is a great place on the inside with their lovely barrels everywhere. The wine tasting was great! I honestly loved each one of them. Plus if you buy a bottle the tasting is free!
I would recommend going to this place. Its off the major road for wineries which is why i think this place my be my new go to. On even better, they are open until 7 everyday! YAY!!!
GO now.

Let me preface this by saying that I know everyone’s palates are different, and just because I didn’t really like the wines at Tefft doesn’t mean that they aren’t great for someone else. Maybe the wines are better with food, but on their own-​just not for me. With that said, the staff is very nice, attentive, and professional, and the tasting room is open later than most. It’s a nice and inviting space to hang out in, and they sell wines by the glass too. I’d say that the tasting room is worth a visit-​I just won’t be returning because there are so many other places with wine that I like a lot better.

I had been to the tasting room on several occassions and was always impressed with the ambiance, the wine and the staff!
I decided to ask if they would be open to having a fund raising event for greyhound adoption (the dog, not the bus) for Greyhound Pets of America, Greater Northwest and was met with nothing but enthusiasm.
Their willingness to work with me in putting the event together in the way in which I envisioned was overwhelming.
This was a large and lively group that included a lot of people and greyhounds and could have been a challenge for the staff, but they were incredible!
The event could not have turned out better! Thank you to Paul, Lillian & Gail for all of your support and hard work!

Beautiful tasting room!
Don’t be fooled by the outside. It looks like the room won’t be much because you are going into an industrial park but once you walk through the doors you forget where you are. We’ve been to the tasting room in Zillah and were happy to find they have one in Woodinville. We went on Memorial Day and it wasn’t too busy. The pourer was nice and seemed knowledgeable about the wines. She let us know there would be a tasting fee but it is removed if we buy a bottle of wine.
You must try their Concord Grape Port. It is seriously to die for. Tastes exactly like Welch’s grape juice. Very yummy!

This place was not on our list but next to the Woodinville Whiskey Co which was on our list. But, it should be on your list! The owner was great in describing all of his wines, insisting that we taste them all, and was patient to hear our commentary on our likes and dislikes. We ended up buying two bottles and would love to go back for the port.
Be sure to stop in and enjoy!

Prompt service. I was only looking for Port and they had the best deal in Woodinville but were not tasting it. Other wineries that have Port in Woodinville are: Kestrel, Zerba and Cougar Crest. Brian Carter release Port in November but sells out quick. Bernard Griffin has Port but not a Woodinville tasting room.

Great stuff, especially dessert wines. There’s a lot of kind of negative reviews about the service and about some of the wines, but you won;t really find that here. It was A-​OK. Good service, very attentive, great pricing on the wines, and lets just say the value of the wines matched the taste of the wines. Make sure to stop here as you stumble your way thru Woodinville.

It was nearly 6pm and my boyfriend and I were looking for another tasting room to head to. Tefft is open until 7pm so off we went.
First, a lady came and told us to sit wherever. She brought us a form of wine to order and then the tasting list and said we were to choose 4. Then she stood there and waited. I told her I didn’t know much about their wines and waited for her to tell me something. She stared at me. Her colleague promptly came and told us we got to try all of them and the first lady started to pour our first wine.
I asked her about the wine and she said she was new and didn’t know much. I asked her if they had a page about their wines (saw someone else with one) which she brought over. Again, her colleague came and took over with the descriptions and grabbing us our next wine.
The newer lady poured heavier classes, but she didn’t seem to know the wine. The other two ladies were very helpful though. I’m sure she will learn as she is there longer.
I also noticed their descriptions were not updated to include newer wines we were served and there were numerous typos/​outdated information on the forms. Our impression was that there was little proofreading and attention to detail.
I didn’t love any of the wines. The viognier and white riesling were fine, but we didn’t end up buying anything.
It’s nice that this tasting room stays open late, but it was definitely the weakest one I’ve been to.

The nice thing about this Tasting room is that it is open later than most. The staff was pretty friendly, but I felt they lacked a little knowledge of the wines. The tasting room is nothing special. It is decorated like any other room that wants the Tuscan Villa look.
I was not impressed with the wines here. They were not bad (well one was really bad), but nothing I would spend my money on. The price points were decent and they had a nice selection of different varietals.
This is the great thing about wine, there is something for everyone, but Tefft is not for me.

Friends were visiting Seattle and wanted to do a little WA State wine tasting, so we drove out to Woodinville to have a few sips. Tefft was recommended by Silver Lake cellar, so we drove over to the unassuming store front. The tasting room has nice granite topped tables with chairs where you can sit, instead of standing at a bar. The lighting is dimmed and there are large, picturesque barrels behind the bar. The tasting was free, and we tried about 10 different wines.
We are not oenophiles, a fact that was evident upon our arrival, and the host at Tefft graciously and humbly gave us tips about how to taste and appreciate our wine. Each bottle we tried was lovely, and the tastes were diverse. The wines are priced very reasonably and we took home a bottle of toscana.

We have been to Tefft Cellars several times in Outlook WA (i.e. the Yakima Valley countryside) and always enjoy tasting their wines. We always seem to be there when the same person is pouring and the other tasters who are there at the time tend to be very conversational and friendly. My BF and I were driving around Woodinville this past weekend trying to find a new tasting room that I had heard about, and with my wine-​radar/​eagle eye, I spotted a sign on Woodinville-​Redmond Rd that referenced Tefft Cellars. Tefft has arrived in Woodinville! Yippee! They have done a great job with the tasting room space… it’s very welcoming and set up like a warm, open wine-​bistro. Tasters have the option of sitting at one of the tables and being served or cozying up to the tasting bar. The wines are all the same that we remember from our visits to Yakima Valley… a variety of whites, reds, roses, dessert wines… they offer a LOT of wines all across the spectrum so be prepared. It was a similar experience to our visits to Tefft Cellars in Yakima Valley… like chatting with old friends while sipping a variety of delicious Washington wine.
