    Panna cotta
    Jen M.

    Was so happy to be able to visit here again after having a wonderful first visit years ago. The delicious food and wine were just as good as I remembered!!. It's so nice to have a full menu of food to choose from and recommendations on wine pairings that happened to coincide with what was already on the tasting menu!! Everything was fairly priced, good portion and the wines were all blends and a nice mix of white, rose and reds. Out if all, we especially loved the double gold award winners - the byzance was by far our fav! Just enough flavor without the tannins and could be had with or without food. The octopus, braised short rib and burrata were all great (and also can we talk about that bread it came with - it was soooooooo delicious!! And complimented everything well) . Ambience, convenient parking, service, kindness, and everything put together made for a great memorable meal and will definitely return again soon!

    Menu- Award winning chef

    Very friendly service. Jeff was very knowledgeable of the wines, regions, grapes and vintage. He explained every wine in my tasting menu with details beyond the printed menu. I went for the traditional tasting menu. My favorite was the TuttoRosso (all red in italian).. a Tuscan based blend with Sangiovese, Cab and Syrah from PNW. Brian Carter is renowned for their blends. On their tasting menu, the reds have an Italian based, a Spaniard based and a French based blend. So give them a try. We came for wine with intentions to go somewhere else for dinner. The live music, service and food menu made us stay here. The charcuterie and cheese table was phenomenal. Very generous portions of cheese! The grilled octopus on a tomato and fava beans bed was very tasty. Our pana cotta was as good as in Italy. We sat on the patio and enjoyed live music, people watching and a surprisingly nice long afternoon that made us wonder why we have not come here more often!

    I am so happy I decided to come here, and even happier that I came hungry! The winery is beautiful, modern with lots of wood and red accents. It has a really good vibe and absolutely stunning design and art. The atmosphere is so lovely. The wines are top notch. I love their super Tuscan, and they have whites that even red drinkers would love. No wonder they were voted the top winery in Washington! I went for a tasting but ended up coming home with bottles. The manager, Joel, and the wine club manager, Annika, are absolutely amazing. They did a great job talking about the wines, but also making me feel like I was part of the Brian Carter family. Top tier service! Something I did not expect is that they have some of the best food I've had on the Eastside. Their chef belongs in a Michelin restaurant, but his food pairs so perfectly with the wines that I'm glad he ended up here! I got the fried polenta and broccolini and both were so flavorful and had the perfect texture. Definitely don't overlook their food, especially for happy hour! This is definitely one of my favorite spots in Woodinville!

    Bought two bottles of red

    Came here for a wine tasting event. The staffs were super friendly and attentive. I bought two bottles of red wine and was happy with the purchase. Environment was clean and beautiful with all the holiday decors. Parking in the garage was free but spots were relatively narrow.

    Love all the wines I tasted!

    My daughter and I stopped by Brian Carter Cellars on Wednesday evening for a Yelp event and we enjoyed the wine so much we bought a bottle to share for Christmas dinner! We bough the Abracadabra Red (love the whimsical label with the rabbit) after trying the Abracadabra Rose and thoroughly enjoying it. We got to meet Brian Carter himself who is a knowledgeable and friendly fellow. The Woodinville location is absolutely beautiful both inside and out with plenty of seating and pretty holiday lights outside. I will return here someday (hopefully soon!).

    I was invited here for a Yelp Elite event and I'm so glad that I was!! Listening to Brian Carter himself talk about his career in winemaking and sharing some of his knowledge offered me a greater appreciation towards wine. I highly recommend the white wine Oriana. Yumm! Chef Nick's dishes are delicious and pair well with several of the great wine list choices they have. Also the dishes are very affordable. Servers are knowledgeable so don't shy away from asking any questions you may have. Delightful place. Great wine, great food, fun place in WoodinCreek. I'll be back here with some friends in the new year!

    First, this part of Woodinville is so festive with all the lights. I loved walking into Brian Carter Sellers to the beautiful music that they play. I love the playlist that ran during our whole visit. The wine, of course, is absolutely outstanding, and we left with more than $300 of wine to pack into our car. I posted pictures of my favorite bottles. Everything we tasted, was just phenomenal, award-winning, and absolutely outstanding. We met Cameron, who was beyond talented at his job. He was delightful, so knowledgeable about all the wines, and he made our experience outstanding. I was so happy to get to meet him and have him be our server, as he's one of the rare gems out there in the world, making life a little bit better and a little bit sweeter one person at a time. Brian should know that he has a remarkable young man working for him and doing an exceptional job. OK, now onto the food! I had the Hamachi... But I have eaten here before and every single time it does not disappoint. The Hamachi literally melted in my mouth and it was one of the best things I have ever had in my life. The chef here should be a Michelin star chef. Wow wow and wow. The flavors that he combines are so unique and so delicious. My mouth is watering, just writing this review. Come here just for the food even if you don't like wine. I am curious why this place is not packed with people? This is one of the best wineries, probably in the world, and the food is beyond sensational. I think they need to do some marketing or new kinds of advertising to let people know where they're at and what they're doing. They should have special events here. This place would be so cute to rent out for a celebration. I saw the other restaurants full of people, and I was just shocked that this place wasn't packed with people! If you're looking for a great wines with a fantastic experience. This is the place. :)

    Love a dog friendly patio! The service was incredible. The chef's risotto and short rib were delicious

    Burrata with toast, yum!

    The service was great, Nayab was fantastic! Our group did a couple of wine tastings and had a few small dishes. Great fun!

    We live in Woodinville and I know Brian Carter, and his wines for many years. Had not been to the tasting room in Woodin Creek but several friends have been gushing about how good the food was and their new chef so we pulled the trigger and made reservations for two and had a tasting and a full meal there. Their menu is set up to either do tasting food or a full sit down dinner we decided to have a couple courses of different things and we were not disappointed. All the dishes came out, and we were blown away by the quality and the price. Staff was good but not overly hovering. And when they knew that we had pretty extensive wine knowledge did not dumb down our tasting experience, which I hate. We also had some excellent wines there too. Brian Carter wines are a solid bet anytime. The only downside was it's a bit echoey in there and they could use some sound mitigation measures but other than that it was nice. I'll come back in the summer when I can sit outside and enjoy the weather great for a date or just a night out.

    We wanted to try a new place in Woodinville and came across this place. The staffs are super friendly and the ambiance is cozy. They don't have a huge selection of wine but sufficient enough and are good. The food here is by far the best when compared to any other place in woodinville. We loved everything that we had ordered especially the polenta fries. This is a must place to visit

    I went to the new tasting room at Brian, Carter and was very impressed with the whole experience. The tasting room was beautifully, and the wine and food pairings blew me away. Brian Carter does an amazing job creating delicious wines inspired by from around the world. He has been making wine since the 1970s, and draws many of his inspirations from Old World blends. The tasting room's newest chef, Nicholas Ames, has created the most delicious dishes that are beautifully plated. The Chanterelle-Oyster Mushroom Toast is delicious and pairs perfectly with the Roussanne. The Charred Broccolini might be my favorite item on the menu, with its toasted shallots and white balsamic emulsion - YUM. The 2020 Byzance was my favorite wine - it was smooth and complex, will only get better with age, and is perfect with the Red Wine Risotto, which is so flavorful and yummy - my husband loved it too. Also be sure to save room for dessert. The Opulente port is phenomenal, made even better by the chocolate mousse. I would highly recommend Brian Carter to any winos who love good food, foodies who love good wine, and anyone else looking for a great date night!

    What a wonderful experience at Brian Carter Cellars. Can't believe it took me this long to visit this tasting room! The customer service was unbeatable and the wines were fantastic. We visited Brian Carter Cellars on a very rainy and windy day. When we checked in for our reservation, we were told that our table would be available soon, as they were just wrapping up some parties. We waited a bit and when we were pointed to our table in the front room, another party had literally taken over as we were walking towards the table. They were wine club members, so I guess nothing further could be done. Instead of just waiting for another table to clear, we ended up going to the patio since we had another appointment we needed to make after this one. As you can imagine with the weather, it was freezing outside. One of the employees saw us freezing and ushered us in, saying we could sit in the back room, which is typically held for wine club members. What a relief! Now that we were warm, we were ready to try a flight, which included one white and three reds. When we started with the white blend, I was surprised to find how much I enjoyed it since I hardly ever like white wines! But this white wine, the 2018 Oriana was not sweet or tart at all. It had just the right amount of crisp to it, with a creamy yet light finish. I ended up getting a bottle of this! Then we tried the three red blends, which were all very good. But I really enjoyed the Solesce, a bordeaux style blend that was mostly cab sauv. It was heavy, bold and is the perfect wine for bordeaux fans! And since we visited during Washington Wine Month, we were able to get this $60 bottle wine at 25% off. Awesome deal! Brian Carter Cellars has wonderful blended wines that will please everyone. I was happily impressed with all the wines we tried, and appreciated the employees being so accommodating. Also, snaps for Brian Carter Cellars being one of the few tasting rooms that has their own private lot right out front. If only they allowed dogs. But I'll be back.

    The man that tamed the corrida!!

It's a winery with vast outdoor gardens, lawns, and places to enjoy the spring and summer weather. Inside is a massive area with plenty of tables to listen to live music usually every weekend that goes throughout the fall and winter. They have some amazing wine offerings. Plenty of options on the cellar wall or chilled in the fridge. Our personal favorite is the White Cabernet Sauvignon. Service is quick and efficient, though we often just skip the bar - grab a bottle and checkout at the main register area where you will also get glasses. Take the bottle outside or grab a table, or if the venue open for one of the summer concerts, definitely worth going inside the main winery area instead of the vendors outside with limited options. Summer concert series is hit and miss. Can bring some great options and acoustics are great! However, sometimes the seats are absurdly high priced - and the crowd around you can be a mixed bag that seemingly just buys the season pass for all the concerts instead of going for a specific event. Overall - great place to go, if you can catch a concert, within your budget, definitely go! One of the better outdoor venues in Western WA.

Favorite was the member concert especially back in the day when was the all day (most of day Jazz concert).. Ever since ticketmastet(with ridiculous extra charges) has been doing the tickets and whomever they've hired to run the concerts, it's annually got worse and worse annually with all the restrictions. As a result less and less concerts am interested in. Last year was the first time ever had over a 2 hour wait in line to get in. Just received email about upcoming concert and now you have to bring your food in 1 gallon clear ziploc per person. Paid extra for early entry to avoid the 1-2 hour wait to get in but now the bag restriction is ridiculous.... No more mini cooler or anything to keep the food cool. Annoyed when couldn't even have your low table for food.. now can't even pack your food in a small backpack cooler or anything.. has to be clear.. no bags allowed. Absolutely ridiculous.

Located in Woodinville's newish trendy neighborhood, Woodin Creek Village, Bayernmoor is nestled among several tasting rooms so I had never noticed them before. My bad! First, I really enjoyed the ambiance here. It was modern elegance, with our reserved seating area featuring comfy seating on low chairs and couches. It was hard to pick from among their many wine tasting options - including several including accompanying bites. Nom nom! I settled on a tasting flight of whites, and my work colleague ordered us some tasty nibbles from their extensive appy menu. We especially enjoyed their upscale cheese & charcuterie board, their burrata with grilled bread, and an order of charred root vegetables with a delightful harissa sauce. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. The wines, of course, were delish. And our server was top notch - always there with the next tasting and to answer our questions about what to order. I'll definitely be back!
