We ended up here after drinking several lovely Pend d'Oreille wines at Spuds earlier in the week (our hostess recommende we come in for a full tasting). The store/winery itself is has a pleasant set up, with a long bar counter and a shop full of local wine and craftsy knick-knacks. We were one of two groups seated at the bar and the service was attentive and fantastic. We tasted a good number of wines (about 7 each) for the small tasting fee and ended up purchasing a case to be shipped back home to California. The pinot noir and several other reds were outstanding, along with a delightful Huckleberry Blush wine we'll be pouring for a dessert in the near future too! they also have live music several nights a week, which we were unable to check out , but which sounded like a good time. Our server was also able to provide us with a number of good recommendations for places to go and a fantastic restaurant to check out in Spokane too. The winery definitely deserves a stop (and a taste) if you are heading to Sandpoint. read more

great atmosphere in downtown sandpoint. wine was good, food was good. only minor bump in the road, the house made ketchup was to spicy. not palatable for a child, some adults could barely handle it. my suggestion: ease up on the spice, should only be a hint of spice not overbearing with it. also,would like to see wine flights added to menu. other than those to items our visit was great! we had family dinner out on the patio, our server was wonderful we enjoyed our time at POW read more

See all

Once every year or two, I win a bottle from my favorite radio station, KPND. I take the hour and a half on a nice summer weekend day to ride the motorcycle up to Sandpoint to have lunch, pick up the bottle, and buy the wine of the month if I like it. The place is great, the wine is good, and so is the food. Today I had a cheese and meet platter with a toasted baguette. A wonderful meal with great flavors and plenty of food. It also had a pickled stuff salad with the tiniest forks you've seen, even smaller than shrimp forks. It made me laugh, I asked the manager about it, and she said they didn't look that small on the internet but she thought they were amusing enough to still use them. Good wine, good food, nice folks. read more

Fantastic wines at reasonable prices. Very friendly staff, comfortable tasting room with fun items and furniture available for purchase. Worth a visit every time you're in Sandpoint. Buy a couple magnums of Bistro Rouge - then return often to refill them! read more

Winery has the COOLEST design -- mushroom/Brie pizza was amazing and Angie was a blast to talk to!! We WILL be back! Oops, did I forget the Pinot gris, and blonde beer?! Perfection! read more

Fantastic wine and ambiance! Great live music on sundays. So comfy and fun, it feels like you're hanging out with friends in your own home.

Love this place. Jim the wine maker is incredible so many excellent kinds of wine and such high quality. Don't miss the bottle of wine that you can refill! read more

Wonderful flight of wines! Only tried the reds although they have a variety of whites. My favorite was the Cab Franc but the other reds were are very good. Tasting fee is 5.00 for 5 tastes, waived when you purchase. It is the only winery in Sandpoint, it doesn't dissapoint. read more

We visited on a supposed Ski trip to Schweitzer but there was no snow. We were so happy to find the Pend d'Oreille Winery. The wine was delicious, especially the Syrah, Primitivo and Zinfandel. We LOVED the food so much. We had the soup, the brussels sprouts and a beet salad along with our tasting and decided to go back for dinner. Between the six of us we had almost everything on the menu and it was all amazing. I HIGHLY recommend the winery and the bistro but watch out, you'll probably leave with a case of wine. read more

Top notch service! Our server was Autumn, she was phenomenal! Love the gift shop. Tons of cute things and very well done. The wine was delicious! Atmosphere was great. Even my husband who doesn't care for wine Loved the place. We highly recommend it and will definitely be back! read more

Friendly staff serving good wines. Be sure you try the `06 Cabernet Sauvignon and the blue cheese cheesecake (not necessarily at the same time). read more

The place is relaxing, has live music, it's clean and inviting. The prices are fair for appetizers. We ordered 2 glasses of wine and a cheese board. We were charged $18.00 per glass. I would have appreciated the waitress asking us if we would have preferred the entire bottle for $42.00 instead of 2 glasses for $36.00. The music is fantastic. It was obvious that we were not regulars. I will go back and I will pay more attention and not hesitate to ask questions. read more

Cool place for sure. If you like that pristine yet fresh and hip wine bar/restaurant, this is a good example. I travel around a lot, and I ate at just about everywhere downtown. This seem to be the "nicest" place that I saw. They have a nice selection of beers and wines. Bryant was at the bar tonight and just did a great job. He was kind in personable. No degree of condescension in him at all. A kind man for sure. I ordered just one beer and sent back to watch the evening unfold. People seem to be having a good time, and I heard more than one or two people talk about how nice the restaurant was. I didn't eat any food, but others mentioned it. I'd say if you're visiting, it's a win. Go and see if you can get Bryant to pour you a glass of wine. Cheers!! read more

The winery bistro is probably the best restaurant in Sandpoint. Having worked there in the past and knowing the chef personally, I know for a fact that you get the highest of quality and freshness in whatever dish you order. Highly recommend for any appetite. read more

A surprise find in Sandpoint! I love the tasting room and the employees are knowledgeable and friendly. I'm a fan of big, bold, wines.. none of theirs are shrinking violets. We went in for tasting and walked out with several bottles. I'll be back to try the blue cheese cheesecake. read more

The food, wine, and service are all wonderful. I enjoy the winery for a place to talk, and the music events are delightful. The three-star rating is due to comfort. Or discomfort. There is one table with regular chairs. If you don't arrive early enough to get that table, there are uncomfortable barstools or tables with small stools with no backs. I cannot stay at the winery very long because of the uncomfortable seating. I wish that were different! read more

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the wines here, especially their reds. We had great service from everyone working there; we did a tasting (5 wines for $5 which is refunded if you purchase a bottle) and whenever someone noticed our glasses were empty, they came right over to remedy that situation. Artichoke dip was so-so. It was served cold (they don't have a kitchen.) read more

Not very good service. My husband and I were in today for a tasting. Waitresses seem to have no time to answer any questions regarding the wine and took a long time to even receive service. Waitresses were having a long conversation with each other. They didn't have a customer service attitude. read more

My favorite place to go for a special night out with my husband. We love this place and enjoy our lighthearted conversations while enjoying our favorite wine. We also like trying their suggestions, very knowledgeable. Great food always presented beautifully. read more
