Browne Family Vineyards' Seattle tasting room is a fantastic spot--especially before a Sounder or Mariner game. The location is incredibly convenient, the atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and the staff are genuinely amazing: knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive without being pushy. Pair that with excellent wine, and it's an easy place to keep coming back to. read more

Browne Family Vineyards - Wine and apparel selection - Wine Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This was a really lovely little spot. They had an awesome selection of wines and then we had a few snacks as we had already eaten earlier and were just a little hungry. I loved my wine and the cheese board. My partner usually drinks espresso martinis if it's an option and he really really liked this one, so don't be shy to try the cocktails if wine isn't your thing as that's high praise from him! The staff were very polite and friendly but perhaps a bit overrun after the game, so things took a little while once they got busy (which is totally fine as we weren't in any hurry). The vibes were very chill but still classy and comfortable. The patio was dog friendly too! read more

Visiting Seattle and my friend suggested we come here for a tasting. This tasting room is located right in Downtown Seattle. We enjoyed a nice afternoon sipping a flight of reds. The wine was nice, however it was a bit too tannicky for my taste. I did, however, enjoy the ambiance of the wine shop and the staff was very attentive and welcoming. read more

Excellent wine tasting experience. Brown is a eastern Washington based Vitner that is quite large based on annual sales volume that offers a very large and diversified selection of wines they produce. This company is apparently well known in the western part of the country and a bit less known in the midwest from where I am from. I was drawn to this business based on their excellent YELP reviews which based on my initial experience here was definately warranted and well justified. Brown offers multiple tasting flights to select from where I ended up going with the Seattle Tasting flight that was a combination of red and white wines. This flight included a chardonnay, Cab Franc Rose, GSM red blend and a Cab. All the wines were quite good where my favorite was the Forest Project Red Mountain Cab which a full bodied red that was well balanced with nice aromatics and nice fruit forward tasting notes. An excellent wine! The cost of the tasting was $25 where the pours were verrrry generous in my opinion especially considering the quality of the wine. Relative to the staff they very friendly and talkative giving me a nice history on the company and the owner and the story of the owners grandfather which was the inspiration for the business. Nice! The tasting room itself was very modern, clean and bright adding a lot to the overall tasting experience. Aside from the tasting they obviously selll the wine here where the tasting is a nice hook to get your business. This business also offers assorted wine clubs where I saw multiple people come in during the tasting for their wine club picks ups. Again a nice curated way to experience their wines where they will ship to your home. Overall this was an excellent wine tasting experience at a very fair cost. If you enjoy wine and like to experience new wines at a reasonable cost this experience is hard to beat especially considering the quality of these wines. Five stars in my book all day long! read more

Browne Family Vineyards - Red wine flight - Washington served wines only - Wine Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Stopped in for a glass of wine before a Mariners game. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We opted for a flight tasting which consisted of a bubbly, a viognier, and malbec and a cab sauv. We ordered a bowl of truffle popcorn to accompany our tasting as well. Pours were generous, 3 oz each, and halfway through our tastings we ordered a charcuterie board. The board was loaded with several cheeses, a small bowl of olives and a variety of salamis. Very filling. The tasting room itself if modern and very clean. There is a a bar with stools to sit at an various tables strewn throughout their store. Very comfortable. The only downside is that because we were heading into the Mariners game we weren't able to take a bottle or two home with us! Definitely need to come back to this one! read more

Amazing wine stop in Seattle. We ordered the Bitner (reds) and the Dottie (whites) flights and were pleased with the taste, variety, and quality. Even the tasting pours were larger than I'm used to at 3 oz each! I wish we could have shipped some back home, but they don't ship to our state at this time. Even so, I would totally visit again when I return to the city. We had a wonderful time and great service! read more

Great way to end my Seattle journey. I've enjoyed Browne wines in the past but first time venturer to this tasting room. When we entered the tasting room we were greeted by a gentleman who's name I don't recall but he was very welcoming and gave a quick history of the tasting room and it's existence. I had the all red flight, which I enjoyed - Great variety of reds. I also tried the do epic shit, mostly due to the name but definitely an enjoyable red. I didn't purchase any bottles as I had no room in my suitcase but solid brand that offers solid red wines. If you're in the area definitely give the tasting room a try. read more

Have been here a few times and every time has been great! A cozy wine bar with amazing service and delicious wine. I did appreciate the girls I chatted with being so knowledgeable about all the wines as well. We got a flight of reds and a charcuterie board to share. Yum! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this wine tasting room/shop. The previous night, we had a glass of their Browne Tribute Red Blend at The Nest. Our waiter mentioned we could visit their tasting room near by, so we decided to visit the next day. Our server was Myva, the Sommelier/Tasting Room Manager. She was super welcoming and knowledgeable. We chose their Sparkling Flight and their Bitner Flight (red wine). It was a great tasting! For us, the standouts were the Gigi Brut Rose ($40/Tasting Room Exclusive) and the Cabernet Franc ($35), though we really liked everything we tasted. For the quality, their wines are are a great value! Great wines and a great wine tasting room! read more

I attended the rose event in June and it was not at their normal downtown location. The rose sparkling was delicious but I think the event was ok. There were not much activity nor togetherness. There were few choices of apps, and two games to play. No gift back to take back. A photo booth. I do not think I would sign up for their event agai . read more

OVERALL: 8.875/10 (Yelp Converted Score: 5/5). This Virtual Yelp Elite Event took place on Wednesday, September 23, 2020. This event was hosted on Zoom and in conjunction with River Valley Cheese, down in Renton, WA. The event was moderated by Jennifer Jones, who at the time was the Yelp CM Ambassador for Bellingham and the Eastside. Myva was our representative from the Browne Family Vineyards side, introducing the limited release Cabernet and Chardonnay in their cans. Note: Two cans == 1 bottle! Myva introduced us to the winery's history - namely that the founder (Andrew Browne, in case you were wondering) moved to Bordeaux pre-WW2) was recruited into the OSS (which later became the CIA) and eventually a Nazi hunter. The following is a translated note that I tried to transcribe, but turned out to look more like drunken ramblings. I did my best -- I have no regrets. Fun fact: Moose cheese is the most expensive! I learned a new acronym: "ABC" in the wine world means "Anything BUT Chardonnay". Chardonnay has a lot of room for the winemaker to show their own personality (whereas Riesling and Sauv. Blanc have their own attitudes). The wine spends 12 months in oak (tertiary aromas), with hints of fruits (green apple). We were taught to "trust our instincts, smells, and see what the wine reminds me of". Apple, peach, tropical, citrus -- lots of things in one! Grapes in a cab. sauv almost look like blueberries/blackberries. Taste like leather/pepper (acidic/dry?). I lastly learned that you can use plastic wrap to prevent oxygen from getting into wine cans, to keep them fresh! 1) ORIGINALITY: 9/10. I was super impressed with this event; while it was hosted on Zoom, we had to pick up the (free) event kit from River Valley Cheese down in Renton, WA, which included two cans of Browne wine, a cheese platter, and a small box of crackers (should be pictures attached to this review). 2) NETWORKING: 8/10. As I mentioned in my other review, the major complaint was that this event was more a "webinar" and less of a networking event. I don't remember anyone else from the event besides Kristi (from the River Valley Cheese side) and Myva (from the Browne Family Vineyards side) -- sorry in advance if you read this review and remember me from it! 3) GENERAL EXPERIENCE: 9/10. Overall I can't really say this was a "bad" time; I had fun, I took notes, and I had wine and cheese in good company. There was a point in time where Myva disconnected from the Zoom call due to a faulty internet connection, but we all still had fun in the meeting room until she was able to get back to a stable connection. 4) FUN FACTOR: 9.5/10. Fun fact: Browne also owns the "House Wine" brand you might see in the cans in grocery stores. They don't make this a very widespread fact so you should definitely at least try it, if you haven't already! read more

We got to try out their limited release Chardonnay and Cabernet in cans. I was skeptical but they were delicious and no hint of the "tin can" taste. The Chardonnay was light and not overpowered with oak which was a win for me. We are excited to get back to their newly redesigned tasting room in Seattle (we enjoyed their old tasting room pre-covid). You can call ahead and they'll bring your order out curbside as well! read more

Love this tasting room! The wine is so good and the servers are amazing! It's super close to lumen field and t-mobile park so it's perfect for before or after a game (if I lived closer I would visit on a day without a game) . You don't need to know anything about wine to taste here, they are so helpful and informative without being pretentious as I've experienced in other tasting rooms. Maggie was our server and she is so kind and very attentive, really made the experience perfect! 10/10 recommend! read more

Even with a surprise power outage this place surprised me!

Beautiful tasting room in the heart of Pioneer Square. Knowledgeable wine staff and really deep, rich hearty wines bursting with flavor. Great story of the history of the vineyards too, which I'm always a sucker for. Limited small bites menu. Dog friendly, my pup enjoyed bites of charcuterie and cheese. Not big fans of bringing outside food (you just never know anymore). So come before or after you've had a meal. Great stop before a game or show IMO! My friend is now officially a member of her first tasting room too! read more

Dear Browne, I was lucky to meet Myva during an online cheese and wine tasting, and the history and legacy behind the brand is incredibly fascinating. Never before could I get such great tips on "how to" taste wine without them feeling completely hi-brow and snobbish, Myva knows her shit, and as one of not so many female sommeliers, is absolutely approachable and down to earth while being incredibly generous with information on her wines and the field of wine-making. I'm happy we can do contactless pickup for cans/bottles/etc, and if you think you'd never drink wine from a can, think again...ZERO taste from the cans gets into your mouthhole and if you worry about that after that statement, pour it into a glass and it's the exact same thing you'd get in a bottle. Boom. Perception. xxoxoxox, I'll be picking up a few cans soon, Liana read more

Great wine, great service in a lively neighborhood. They have good food and bite options as well. also try their dessert wine. Highly recommend read more

Hidden gem! Amazing wines, great location and wonderful customer service. I hosted a networking event at Browne and failed to inform them that I needed adequate seating. It was pretty packed but the staff went above and beyond to accommodate and made sure our glasses were quickly replenished. Great flavors and I especially loved their lager. I only wish they had more options to nibble on while tasting. Great place and looking forward to joining wine club. read more

I loved the atmosphere of this place and it was a super affordable happy hour tasting at $10. I think we got five pours and then another of our favorite. Super cute and great staff. I had been trying to find a place in downtown Seattle for wine tastings that wasn't super expensive. They also had a deal where if you bought a bottle, then the tasting would be free. I liked the reds over the whites, but they were all pretty decent. Will definitely be returning. read more

I first heard about Browne through a collaboration cab they did with total wine for about $30. A little skeptical at first about Washington wines, but I decided to give it a try and was totally won over after the first sip. Exceedingly smooth, jammy and full bodied ripening into beautiful dark fruits and vanilla beans, rivaling some top cabs of Napa in my humble opinion. The winery / bar was no disappointment either. Extremely modern and chic, the bar almost seemed like a gourmet bakery with marble counters and luxury furniture. Quite literally THE most comfortable and sophisticated wine bar I've ever been to. The bartender was great as well and introduced us to the Washington wine scene (being Californians),which center around bordeaux, cab, malbec as Washington sits on the same latitude as La France. Fantastic bar and even better wine. Most definitely 5 stars in every regard read more

Great wine, fun location and honest employees! We had just made a big purchase, a beautiful eternity band for our wedding in May and felt like we needed to have a toast so we decided to stop in at the Browne Family tasting room to celebrate. BTW, we really enjoyed the sparkling flight and a glass of the red blend while trying on my new ring. We bought a couple bottles and headed home. When we were almost back to Olympia I decided to try my new ring on again only to discover that the jewelry box was no longer in the bag. I called BFV tasting room and Myva answered, I desperately asked if she could check in the sofa and under the table for the jewelry box. She agreed to but unfortunately it was not there, my heart broke. I knew it was a long shot but I had to ask if she could please go outside to check the gutter just in case it had somehow fallen out of the bag and onto street. She said of course but if I could call back in a couple minutes, that was the longest 2 minutes of my life. I called back and Myva answered, "I found it, the box is trashed but the ring is perfect"! Myva, we will forever be grateful to you for your extra efforts and honesty, thank you read more

Stumbled in here during lunch cause I wanted to check the space out and find out how much the tasting was. I had seen it on a morning walk and was glad I popped in with a friend it's right next door to Intermezzo Carmine in Pioneer Square. Can't wait to return for the $10 tasting believe it's two whites and three reds. Loved the space as soon as I stepped in I wanted to stay so inviting and the two gentlemen were so friendly. I'm thinking one of them was the owner, Andrew. Love the art and the story of how the business was is a tribute to his grandfather. Will update when I've had a chance to do the tasting! read more
