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

      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!

      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.

      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. :)

      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

      We are members at Brian Carter and enjoy coming there often. I think their wine is terrific and feel their small bites are very good especially the flatbreads. They are also generous with their pours and allowing you to taste to find your perfect selection. They also make us feel comfortable and welcome. The only criticism I would have is that I wish sometimes some of the severs (not all) would put more effort into actually explaining the wines especially when we visit with other people. We have brought friends and family in for tastings and only get the list with descriptions and our tastings and nothing more. We would like them to fall in love with the wine like we have but we don't have the knowledge to explain and sell the wine that is the staffs job. Sometimes even when prompted we don't get much in the way of description and tasting notes.

      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!
