Lovely experience all around! Parking: 3 designated spots Wine tasting: 5/5 - We did a tasting and it included 6 wines. I believe it was $25 for the tasting. I usually like reds but I absolutely loved the white, rose, and Syrah especially. Food: 5/5 - the grilled cheese with marina and grapes were the perfect snacks to accompany the tasting Service: 5/5 - our server was so friendly and made the experience enjoyable Ambience: 5/5 - very clean and good vibes read more

Wine and pizza are the best and come together beautifully at Efeste. We had a party of 5 with a flight of 6 wines. Syrah and GSM are made particularly rich red wines @Efeste. When it slipped that they had some library wines, I pushed for the 2007 Big Papa for a special occasion later this year and grabbed the Paulie GSM. If my budget allowed, I would have grabbed the Adrienne Chenin, which had a powerful green apple and floral nose but gave way to a very delicate, understated palate. It made for a surprisingly elegant, yet very easy-going white. read more

My friend from LA was in town and this was a pre before heading to dinner. We crashed for an afternoon warm up and we were the only people. It was fun and we got to chat. As it got to HH, it filled up and there was a large group that came in. Our time was up and we moseyed, but I am a fan of the wine. read more

Always have a fun time while at either location. Would love for the one on first Ave to have more parking as it can be hard to find a spot during certain times. They are friendly and the wine is very good. Recommend the wine and spot to anyone who enjoys a tasting or to grab some solid wine. read more

Efestē is a hidden gem in the Seattle's Industrial District. This wine bar not only offers a wide variety of wine delicious wine options but beer and food as well. Surprisingly they also have a small parking lot which is nice due to the stadiums and experiences in the area. The bar area is very clean and has a trendy modern look. And the staff we all great, super friendly, and excellent with suggesting drinks based on customer preference. read more

I had the best time visiting Efeste downtown before the Ed Sheeran concert. I also work at a winery, so I love to visit other winery's in the area. The selection and staff were great. They also had sparkling wine available for bottle purchases. We split one of the flatbreads and it was really good. The sauce was amazing on the pizza and we were told it is made from scratch. Great spot, and I hope it doesn't get overrun in the future by other people finding out about it, but also they deserve the business! Thank you for a great experience! read more

We stopped by for a wine tasting, lunch, and a game of cribbage before seeing a show at WAMU theater. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable about the wine. I had the best chipotle chicken corn chowder, perfect for a grey Seattle afternoon. There is a large selection of hand tossed pizza and craft beer on tap. This is easy to get to before Mariners, Sounders, or Seahawks game. This is a dog friendly facility and plenty of room for large groups. I highly recommend Efeste Sodo. read more

The wine and the people are exceptional! It is our go to anytime we are in Seattle. You will not be disappointed stopping by before an event. read more

Hidden gem in busy area. Have only been twice but both food and service was has been great each time.

Always nice to swing by for a glass of Big Papa! You can always find parking in their fenced off space which is nice as it's so close to the stadiums and parking is always hard to find. read more

Out for a day of wine tasting in SODO and started at Efeste. I had previously had their wine, but had not been in their tasting room. Their room is quite large with plenty of seating for tasting and chatting with friends. There are a few games available to play as well while you taste. We used the Street Cred wine tasting passports and were promptly started on our tastings. The tastings ranged from a very nice, dry Riesling to their hearty Syrah. 5 in all, and very generous pours. Our server was very pleasant and gave us lots of info on the wines, their terrior and a little history of the winery and winemakers. There is food for sale as well, which is nice so as not to not drink alcohol on an empty stomach. You can purchase wine by the glass or by the bottle and enjoy. We are definitely returning for the Rose release in the spring! read more

I'm a wine club member and I love the wines! My fave is Jenna! She runs that location typically by herself and does such a great job. It's a great place to pre-funct before a sports game as it's down the street from the stadiums. read more

have reached out on two different occasions in the past year, on behalf of a member, to get a quote for a semiprivate event at the SODO tasting room. Both times, the person on the phone has referred me to email the same two people, who've never once responded. read more

Absolutely the best wine tasting experience in Seattle! Jenna and Sylvia are the most amazing hostesses and take such good care of us every time we visit. Love the vibe of the SoDo location! Added bonus when the winemaker is on site! And the wine is outstanding. Can't wait to return!! read more

One star for the worst service I've ever had in my life. We came with a large group for our wedding weekend welcome party (communicated this beforehand) and was told they would let our guests do separate tabs. The woman at the bar disregarded this, then when we corrected her she was condescending, rude, and unpleasant to everyone. The cherry on top was when she came to our table with food and threw it down in front of us. Would 0/10 recommend going there read more

Stopped by yesterday for a team outing, incredible wine (Big Poppa and Final Final easily my favorites) The staff was wonderful and will be back! read more

A fantastic spot for a tasting or to enjoy a glass of their delicious local Washington wines. The space is lovely and service is fantastic. I recently got to try the rose and snagged myself a bottle for home, such a refreshing light wine, perfect for the incoming summer weather. It's right by the stadiums, the best place to pregame before you go watch one of the teams play. read more

Great customer service - Jenna was spectacular! She was friendly and talkative. Didn't try the wine but the beers were good! Atmosphere was peaceful, sat by the overhead door and sat in the comfy loungers & relaxed. Very much enjoyed. Stop in & try! read more

The door was open and I walked in as I needed a drink before an event. The woman promptly got really mad and rudely pointed finger toward the door and kicked me out. I felt like a trash because that's what she treated me like, if I have not been a confident person of knowing right and wrong morals! This type of rudeness in existence in a wine business is completely unnecessary! My 1st visit to this area since pandemi and this treatment towards certain people is well known. I even asked her if i can just pay cash for a can of a drink! She got even more rude with her expression and demeanor. I have NEVER seen anyone this rude in ANY WINERY or tasting room. I have been to dozens of wineries including Napa & Willamette and many wine shows. I will never support this Winery due to this woman's belittling treatment of me on Sat night when it was her fault that she did not lock the door! Unbelievable abusive behavior. read more

Efeste was a fantastic spot inn Seattle for a local wine tasting. We ended up loving the wines so much we stayed for a bottle and even took some home! Ashley gave us a very informative wine tasting -- weaving in the history and giving us great back stories on the family and thw wine making process. Do yourself a favor and stop in! read more

Walked in. Was told she's too busy to pour for us and no washed glasses. Still enjoyed myself...place was buzzing then she came by and asked us to be quiet. All tables were having a great time and elevated and she came to ours to ask that we keep it down. Keep in mind I'm the only person of color and not only have you singled me out...everyone else was louder than our group. My friend actually offered to help do dishes for her to take some stress off her working alone on a busy day. She sharply negated said offer and continued to disrespect us. With better staffing this could be a great business for a certain skin color. I expected better. Disappointed. With new staffing I would return...not the wine's fault. Upsetting. read more

We were blown away by Efeste's consistently delicious wines while we were there yesterday (Dec. 2nd). Honestly, we've done a lot of wine tastings mostly in Woodinville, WA, and we can't recall any one of those measuring up to the fine wines Jenna offered us. One after the other. As a bonus, Jenna was a truly kind, attentive, and engaging host. Thanks so much for this wonderful experience. We already have decided this is our go-to place in Seattle for fine wines in a comfortable setting. read more

One of my favorite wineries. I have been a member here for years. They staff is always friendly and the wine is amazing.

Wonderful wine tasting experience. Kristi was so fun to talk to and very knowledgeable. They also serve great brick oven pizzas. I definitely will be back. read more

Great wines with a generous pour for their tastings. Nice very clean shop and a close proximity to the stadium makes Efeste a great location to pregame Mariners, Seahawks and Sounders. read more
