They have some lovely red wines here! My friends and I visited Callan Cellars as part of our wine tasting Saturday and this was a great stop in the north industrial area of Woodinville. You can make a reservation ahead of time on the website, which I recommend doing, especially if you come with a group. We made a reservation for the late afternoon on a Saturday and were able to be seated in the back room where the barrels were. Although it may be colder in the back room, the setting was nice with the lights and intimate setting. We were also told that dogs are allowed here! For the tasting, we tried five wines: one white and four reds. Of all the wines, I really liked the Red Mountain Cab Sauv and the Founders Reserve, which was a Bordeaux blend that's cab franc dominant. I highly recommend Callan for the red wines, if you want something bold and silky, which is my kind of wine! So glad I discovered Callan, as this is definitely on my favorites list. read more

Came in to taste with an Open Table RSVP during COVID and procedures and distancing was great. Loved the presentation of the tasting...so fun! Tastings for white were 3 wines and red is 4 (but can only choose white or red for the passport) read more

This is one of our favorite wineries. Every wine we have had here is absolutely amazing. They are full of flavor with a wonderful juiciness you'll find with WA wines. Our fav is the MC2 which is I believe named after the owners kids. The rosé is amazing. I have yet to be disappointed by any of their wines. Highly recommend taking a stop by for tasty wine! They also have a wonderful tasting room. The back area is full of casks, tiny white lights, candles, and a great atmosphere too. read more

We had the pleasure of visiting Callan on Sunday... outstanding wines at reasonable price points, with super friendly folks! Thanks Keri H for the service... Located in the warehouse district, this is the only reason it isn't 5 stars, but the inside is very lovely! We left with a Rose and Cab, but would have bought more if it wasn't for a pending Walla Walla trip this weekend. The MC2 and Grenache were both fabulous - give Callan a try! read more

Great tasting, delicious wine! Had an impromptu tour with the owner and we are bringing home a few bottles!!

This is truly a hidden gem! We joined the Callan Cellars wine club a little over a year ago and have been very happy with that choice ever since. The wine is elegant and, as a bonus, sells at a reasonable price point. I love that they offer a 2 x 2 bottle per year level so I can enjoy the wines without overloading my wine inventory. The GSM and Grenache are lovely wines. You have to try them before they sell out. On our most recent visit this weekend, we had a wonderful experience during the wine club release party. From perfectly paired foods, exceptional service, and the best live music. The Sangiovese stole our hearts away! A beautiful symphony in a glass. read more

Absolutely love this wine! Love the location in Woodinville! The setting feels like family and the wine is beyond! You will not be disappointed! I just picked up my case yesterday ...and today is like christmas morning! read more

On our first visit to Callan more than a year ago on the Passport, my husband and I decided to sign up for the wine club (partly because the wine itself is delicious, but also because we followed Joan - one of the tasting room personalities - from another winery). We're not big white wine fans, but the whites here tend to be light and crisp, which is right up our alley. The reds, depending on which ones, are balanced or robust. Some are light and easy drinkers, while others have a density and body that demand to be savored. The wine club has a couple of options. We joined the 2 bottles/twice a year club, which is a wonderful low commitment that allows us to enjoy the wine club events AND augment with visits and purchases throughout the year as needed (or, you know, as wanted ;)). As for the person who left a negative review a couple weeks back, it's kind of a jerk move to show up 20 minutes before closing on a Sunday and expect to get the full tasting flight. The winery isn't open Monday to Friday, so expecting a winery to open a full new bottle of wine for three 1-oz tastings is a little... entitled? The winery won't recoup those costs, especially on a Passport tasting. Perhaps for next time I'd suggest they plan ahead and show up earlier in the day, not at closing. This is a wonderful winery with delicious wines and lovely people who create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. You won't be disappointed coming here! We brought two friends with us today, both of which decided to join the wine club! read more

This place was awesome the wine maker Lisa was such a joy and was such a pleasure to talk with and even shared her craft with us through our tasting and the wine was spectacular even joined their wine membership. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

My girlfriends and I came here for a impromptu girls wine tasting weekend. Callan Cellars was the first tasting to start our weekend and it was wonderful! Our hostess was so kind and made great conversation. The tasting was great! Our absolute favorite was the rose and each of us took home a bottle. Thank you Callan for such a great tasting and such great service! read more

Their wine is very unique and delicious. Their 2017 Picpoul, Grenache Blanc, and Rose' is fantastic. Especially the Picpoul with notes of pineapple is perfect for the summer! The tasting room has plenty of seating and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the wine! read more

Amazing wines! I especially love the Grenache Blanc. Stop by Callan Cellars, you won't be disappointed.

Lisa is a breath of fresh air! Her take on her Picpoul is Phenomenal!! She is so approachable and all her wines taste amazing. Thank you Lisa! read more

We came in 30min before closing (3 adults) and the lady that was running the tasting said "she can do a tasting but won't open any more bottles so we might have to share", we agreed, but the weird part was another couple came in about 5min after us and she served them first (even though she wasn't going to open more bottles), so when she finally came over to serve us she only gave us 3 of the 4 pours on the tasting and we had to share those. At no point did she provide any info, history, or tasting notes, there was no music either, no ambiance or atmosphere, nothing special at all! About 4 more people came in after that and she still didn't offer to open any more bottles, unbelievable! The kicker was when she tried to tell us she gave us all a full tasting and tried to charge 2 of our passports and then charge the 3rd person in our group the full tasting fee! I almost laughed and said "how about we just use one passport stamp because we only got 3 of 4 pours and had to share", she then tried to charge our friend $5 for the the tasting, at which point I said "how about you just stamp our second passport and we'll call it good". She audibly sighed/groaned and said "no it's fine don't worry about it" in the most sarcastic tone possible. Wow, what a terrible experience! Won't be coming back, drew a big "X" through our passports to write this place off! Thanks Callan but we'll just enjoy the 100 other wineries in the area! read more

For those of you who like lighter wines, this place is the place for you. The picpoul and cinsaut were my favorite of the 5 wines included in the tasting. Enjoy your visit! read more

Yesterday a friend and I set out on foot to explore the Artisan Hill area of Woodinville Wine Country. We decided on a whim to walk into Callan Cellars. As soon as we walked in I was already confident in our decision. It was nice and cool inside (it was almost 90 degrees outside) and the space was very inviting. We sat down at the bar and Lisa greeted us immediately. We chose to do the tasting and the first wine she poured was the Picpoul. Both my friend and I had her repeat the varietal because we'd never even heard of it. As it turns out, I've been seriously missing out. It was DELICIOUS! A refreshing and crisp white, a little tart, not sweet but so good. The next wine was a Grenache Blanc which was just as good. Another refreshing white with melon and Asian pear notes but still not too sweet. Both of those wines won double gold at the Seattle wine awards and after I tasted them I could see why. We moved onto a rosé, a red blend and then a cab sauv. The entire experience was memorable because the wines were delicious and Lisa was so personable. She spent time engaging us in conversation and we learned a lot about her wines. She even gave us a behind the scenes tour of her storage rooms. I ended up buying three bottles of wine and joining the wine club. Once I left I was wishing I'd bought more wine. Callan Cellars opened less than a month ago and I predict it will be really successful. I can't wait to go back! read more
