I had one of the best times last night during an event: Vino + Paella. I was able to meet, listen to & enjoy the wines of 5 different wines from winemakers visiting from Spain & Portugal. This Thursday night flight was a great party, fun social event & generous on the pours! As an added bonus there were light bites & paella cooked right outside by staff. If you're looking for an Eastside gem on a Thursday night then you should check this venue out. It's a bit of a challenge to find because it's the event space in the rear of the parking lot behind the Italian restaurant & next to the massage place. The owners are really sweet and kind! It was lovely to be greeted and mix/mingle with them and there wasn't a time when you had to wait for a pour read more

I came here for an event and ended up purchasing more wines! The wines were reasonably priced. The staff was cheerful and friendly. The facility was spacious and clean. It was good to know there was such a winery spot in Bellevue! Parking was easy as there was a parking lot. read more

Came here for a yelp event and got to do somewhat of a blind tasting of a thin grape, french wine. I enjoyed learning about wine from their sommelier. I got to taste the bubbly strawberry rose and the full body red. The full body red had some good fruit flavor. I like the red wine better than a rose. Some rose wines are hit or miss for me. The event space they have is a decent size for big groups and parties. The staff are wonderful too. I would recommend all the wine enthusiasts and experts to go to Fruit and Wine co to discover some yummy wines and learn from some cool people who know all about wine! read more

Fruit Wine Co has consistently impressed me with their knowledge of wines and phenomenal selection. Staff has great knowledge on wine at both a broad and granular level, Jackson was very helpful. The store is a neat and quaint place with a wine bar for tastings. Support a local business and try something you've never had!!! read more

Bellevue Wine Co - Some wine recommended by Jackson - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I have neither been to this establishment nor heard of it, but Yelp keeps nagging me to post a review so here it is.

This bottle shop is a favorite of mine. If you're looking for something fun to bring to a party, to enjoy with friends, or to give as a gift -- this is the spot. They have a lot of great local wines and all kinds of delightful imports. The folks who work here are kind, funny, and experts in wine and will help you find whatever it is that you're looking for. Check out their wine club membership, too -- Crunchy Red Fruit. It's a great way to discover all kinds of fun wines! read more

Such a fantastic experience at Seattle Wine Co. I went in searching for a rosé made from Pinot Noir I had seen on their Instagram. It was my first time and I felt a bit intimidated by the sheer selection of wines available from around the world. I was helped by Karen and a very friendly black dog that if I remember correctly wasn't theirs but still...a beautiful black lab never hurts. What you will find about SWC is their prices are amazingly low. Download the Vivino app and see for yourself. I ended up buying a couple bottles of the rosé and also a 2016 highly rated Bordeaux. The rosé had a minerality showing its terroir. So good. I usually buy my wines from Costco but now with the combination of value, selection and knowledge SWC has my attention for sure. The only problem is the space to put it all. Check them out. read more

Bellevue Wine Co - 2016 Bordeaux - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Best value wine store in Bellevue. Amazing selection for every palate and price range. Owners Karen and Nabil are helpful and always greet you with a smile. read more

Amazing shop with great recommendations that are based on wine not cost. Love Seattle Wine.

Absolutely lovely, affordable wine shop. They had a great selection of Washington and Oregon wines, at a price point where you really felt like you could try different wines and experiment. Karen was super knowledgeable and friendly and I really look forward to coming back. We popped open a $17 bottle of Pinot that she recommended from the Willamette Valley, and it's delicious. read more

Been coming here for a few years. The owners are very interesting people and they shop for great wines. They have good tastings on the weekends and are the best way to find new and unknown wines. There's always something good in your pricepoint and they have events throughout the year too. read more

I've frequented Seattle Wine Company for over 15 years. The wine selection is large, both foreign & domestic, and it's always fun to discover new labels. They have offerings you won't see anywhere else. Prices are very reasonable & competitive and there's a wide range for your budget or that special high end gift bottle. Nabil, Karen & Mark are friendly, attentive and remarkably knowledgable. read more

I was driving home post-workday with the intent of purchasing a fine bottle of wine from my local vendor, when subconsciously my eyes glanced over a spinner of signs upon the side of the rode. What it said exactly I do not remember, but my subconscious mind recognized two things: the color red and the word "Wine". Autopilot kicking in, I immediately pulled a u-ey, making my way to an unfamiliar vendor and a yet unknown bottle(s) of red. At first glance I was skeptical. Playing the fool, I judged the store by both its size and inherent lack of flashy and superficial storefront (which in fact turned out to be the most endearing qualities). Upon entering I was greeted with the light, joyful chatter of the Friday night wine tasting crowd - something wholly unexpected. The interior was immaculate, the trappings and display impress upon the viewer both modern simplicity and what I can only describe as a renaissance-type elegance. The physical attributes are surpassed only by the quality and sincere interest of the connoisseurs who manage the store. Karen immediately sensed my unfamiliarity with the venue and quickly attended to my needs. After reviewing my taste preferences, experiences and price limitations, she instinctively knew which wines I would enjoy. Once reviewing the options recommended to me, I ended up leaving with two of the most delicious bottles I have ever acquired. I am currently enjoying a second glass of one of the finest Zinfandels that my lips have ever had the pleasure to taste, and I look forward to sharing my experience with fellow wine enthusiasts. 10/10 would recommend Karen to choose all of my wines for me read more

Met a friend here for a glass of wine to catch up. The staff was very attentive and nice. Very knowledgeable about their menu and selections. The vibe and crowd was very good. Everyone was friendly and just seemed to enjoyed their wine and company. Place is nicely decorated and the price range meets everyone's wallet needs! I'll visit again if I return to Washington! read more

I love the Seattle Wine Company - family owned and operated, Karen and Nabil are awesome and they really know their stuff. (So does Peter :)) Great pricing on their wines, and a fantastic selection! Stop by on Fridays or Saturdays to taste as well :) I'm suddenly thirsty! read more

This is a nice smaller wine shop that carries quite a large variety for the amount of space they have. I've always come in asking for recommendations specific to an occasion or meal and have not been disappointed. The owners are honest in which wines they suggest and are open in sharing their preferences. The prices range from around $10- expensive and there's something for everyone. If you're not sure what to get, just ask the owners :-) read more

The Seattle Wine Co. is by far the best wine shop on the eastside. Karen, Nabil, Peter and Alex are all fantastic to deal with and very knowledgeable as well. I wouldn't think twice, and haven't, about sending friends their way. The selection, knowledge of the wines and pricing are incomparable. Keep up the great work and I am loving the local delivery as well. read more

Quite simply the best wine shop around! Karen and Nabil are friendly, knowledgeable, and have multiple events every week of the year, featuring local wine makers, beer brewers, and occasional guests like chocolatiers! If you've never stopped by, give this family run local business a go. Great selection, great prices, and every recommendation you could ask for any taste or event. read more

You know that feeling you get when you find a place that you enjoy so much, and you feel like it's still kind of a secret? A place that you really want to *keep* as your own little wonderful secret? Well, Seattle Wine Co. is one of those places for me. Normally I'd be hard pressed to give up the location of such a wonderful little gem. However, because I like the owners of this shop so much, and because I want them to bask in the success of the fantastic place they've created, I'm gonna share. And like a fine wine that I've been saving in my cellar to bust out at some extraordinary occasion, I'm going to share my feelings on the Seattle Wine Co with you all. I love this store. Simply love it. We are fortunate here in the greater Seattle area to have a great selection of amazing wine stores. However, what sets the Seattle Wine Co apart from the others - are both their selection of wines, as well as the friendliness of the service. Both Nabil and Karen are wonderful to work with, always smiling, and just an all around pleasure to talk to. You can tell that they genuinely value each and every customer that comes through the door and do everything to make sure that you leave there happy with your wine selection. And like some of the other reviewers have mentioned, you will find none of the wine-snobbery/attitude that you might find in other stores. (Note - that being said, I do find overall that the "attitude" normally associated with wine merchants, really isn't bad here in Seattle as compared with some of the other cities I've looked in...) I have been able to find wines here that I haven't been able to find in any other shop around town. And the prices have consistently beaten the other shops around by at least a dollar or two. It's especially great when they have their "deal of the week" wines - I've seen some of these run 30-40% less than the other shops around. Whenever I am in this part of Bellevue, I seem to always find myself making excuses to veer over towards the Seattle Wine Co. Just a great shop from top to bottom. My new wine shop of choice. And definitely part of my secret stash in Seattle. ;-) read more

Karen and Nabil are some of the nicest people I've ever met. Not only that, they have some of the most refined and experienced palettes that I've witnessed. They are consistently spot on with recommendations, they only have quality wine at their store, no low end stuff that has no taste and is generic. The quality is superb, the friendliness is amazing, the wine tastings every week are my favorite part though. Consistently providing quality tastings with knowledgeable pourers is something that is rarely consistent nowadays and they knock or out of the park. Best thing is the PRICE!!! Always low and affordable prices, it takes my entire willpower to not spend my entire paycheck here week after week. If you're buying wine, this store is definitely the place to go, you'll never be disappointed. read more

Highlights: GREAT prices, not snooty, employees know their stuff. If you're looking for an unpretentious place to learn about wine that won't break your bank, look no further than Seattle Wine Co. They have distributors or winemakers in every Friday and Saturday to do tastings so you can learn a LOT about what you like and don't like, and get deeper in to the culture of wine if you're interested. Nabil, Karen, and Peter are totally down to earth, very knowledgeable, and will give you the same excellent service if your budget is $10 or $500. Their prices are also incredible and you can find all sorts of interesting bottles among their selection. A hidden gem! read more

I personally thing, their service is lacking compare to other local wine merchant. It gets even worse when you call in for product availability. It might e different, in person, they might treat you like a human being. However, when you call to place an order to ship out, it's the worst kind of feeling you can get. Oh, yeh. Worst thing is that they want a copy of your driver license and credit card email in before they ship. Are they looking to steal my identity by asking for a copy to be email to them? when you call back telling them that it's not safe to send these information over the net and I will provide my information over the phone, they rudely information that if I can't follow instruction of sending the information over email, I should go elsewhere. With an amount of competition they have, I was so surprised. There are Pete's, Esquin among others that are a lot better. Shoppers, be aware. Companies asking for a copy of your personal information aren't to be trusted. read more

Our fave wineshop for many years. Karen and Nabil make it a real "Cheers" to be at. They cherry pick the market well. I appreciate that it's not just token wines from each region; they pick stars. Russell Hamilton/South Africa, overachieving Spanish bargains from importer Jorge Ordonez, best bubbles from Wa (Treveri) and New Mexico (Gruet) keep an old somm like me coming back. You can always learn good and not so good from their tastings; the best way to define your style. Scot read more

Alex was awesome. Came in with some friends and got to taste before we bought. We will be back because of Alex. Thank you !

Spectacular Black Friday sale at the Seattle Wine Company. One of the best retailers in Seattle. Karen and Nabil run a wonderful small business. read more

Family owned business. Very knowledgeable about wines. I found it more personable to shop at Seattle Wine then big wine stores.

We are new in town and stopped in, greeted graciously at the door and the gentlemen who helped us was wonderful. Impressive wine knowledge and friendly service. Prices are great! Wine suggested proved to be exactly what we were looking for. We will be back again and again. read more

Good Selection, One can appreciate the "Picks" signs on the walls, Many discounted wines... Tasting Bar is very small, over crowded, hectic; Nabil can be sometimes enthusiastic, other times overbearing - I prefer Pete's, Fine Wine's & Cigars, World of Wines, Esquin, etc. read more

Great local wine shop that's not overwhelming. Best part about this shop are owners Karen or Nabil ~ always on hand for wine advice. Go visit! read more

The Seattle Wine Company is a great place to go to to stock your wine cellar. One of the two owners are always working and boy do they know wine! Every suggestion they've made to me has always turned out to be perfect. And they're not wine snobs at all. The last time I was in there, Nabil (one of the owners) suggested an 9 dollar a bottle Malbec that was very tasty. They don't offer case discounts, but that's because their wine is already discounted. Oh, and they have tastings on Friday and Saturday's. I feel so lucky that this place is right across the street from my work. I think I'm turning into an alcoholic. Thanks Seattle Wine Company! read more

I have enjoyed many of their weekly tastings and have found their selection of wines interesting to include many reasonably priced values from all over the world. One area I'm thoroughly disappointed with is their HOT, HOT Wine Deals or Wine of the Week specials. I can scarecly remember one I've bought yet that has not been either corked or hot or thin or simply wine that clearly WAS once magnificent but just old and faded and flat. I've returned all of them up until now and credited the $ but after opening the most recent one I bought a few months ago, an '05 Rioja that was was sold as absolutely a steal at $18, orig ~$45 just turned out to be just another bottle of faded glory. I'm through dragging these spoiled bottles back and will simply dump it and never buy another one of Karen and Nabil's Hot Hot wine deals. Been burned one too many times now. read more

I dropped by today to purchase a bottle of wine to take to a colleague's house. The woman who worked there was very friendly. She was knowledgeable and helpful without being pretentious. They had a nice selection of wines with prices to match any budget. I wish there were more places like this where I live in SoCal with people like her working in them. I can't wait to try the wine tomorrow! read more

I had a totally pleasant experience . I called and s/w Karen only a couple of days before my son and DIL10th wedding anniversary. She was very nice and offered suggestions and was able to deliver asap as the spa day I had ordered online did not get sent out as requested. I have never been to the this store but sure will be checking it out. They both enjoyed the wine selection. FYI, I live in Fl but will be moving out ther every soon. read more

Karen and Nabil are awesome, stop by for a tasting of local Washington wines and wines from abroad! Very good selection and they know their stuff, their son is quite a guy too very knowledgeable about wines. Prices are competitive. The decor could use a remodel it reminds me of a comic book store with the white walls and posters all over. Worth a visit for the excellent top notch service. read more

I always recieve great recommendation from the staff. I have never been sold a bad bottle of wine from their recommendations.
