Other 5/5

We have been to over half of the wineries in woodinville (about 70) and this ranks among the best. The atmosphere alone makes this a standout with the Italian music and barrel room making you feel like you are overseas. The owner is super friendly and will have a good conversation with anyone that wants one, and when it wasn't during covid, they use to have chocolate snacks that really went well with the wine. The wine itself is amazing as well and I can't think of one I didn't like.

It is located away from the two main districts (wear house and Hollywood), so you might miss it if you don't go intentionally but it is absolutely worth it.

Man that helped us with our wine tasting was very rude. Please practice better professionalism.

Big bold wines that pair well and can be drink on their own! Cozy and thoughtful ambiance inside, and you are surrounded by wine barrels. Appears to be family-run and they are so passionate about the wine and winemaking process. We left with a wine bottle of each pour.

Had an excellent experience wine tasting at icon cellars. They had a selection of 2 white (+rose) & 2 reds. All of them were great. Really nice cozy ambiance for a chill evening with friends. The area has a number of other tasting rooms as well and plenty of parking.

Amazing reds! For all those who prefer red wines over whites, Icon Cellars is a tasting room to check out in Woodinville! We visited Icon Cellars, as we learned that it was one of the wineries that opened in phase 1.5 and was also on our Woodinville Wine Passport. I read that Icon Cellars takes reservations, so was able to call in and make a reservation for the late afternoon for my boyfriend and me.

Located in the north industrial area of Woodinville, it's one of the wineries in the plaza, right on the corner. The A-frame sign on the street helped us find it. We wanted to sit outside since we had our dog with us, and there were two chairs already set up right outside the room.

After we checked in with the owner, Jim, we each did a tasting. We started with a rose and then had four reds. All of the wines were awesome! The reds were full-bodied and bold, which is how I like my wine. And Jim gave generous pours, so we were definitely feeling it midway! Of all the reds we had, we bought a bottle of the dolce tempo, which is a mix of an Italian varietal and tempranillo. You get a lot of the peppery punch from the dolce, but a smooth, fruit-forward taste from the tempranillo. It was very unique in reds I've had before; it's definitely a must.

The tasting room has a few tables inside, in addition to the two outdoor chairs set up. In fact, the patio chairs are very nice to sit in because on the arm rests is a hole that holds up your wine glass! Genius. As mentioned, dogs are allowed and you can bring your own food. Parking is easy to find, with the shared lot out front along with the other businesses in the plaza. Glad to have checked out Icon Cellars for their bold reds!

It's rare that I've done a wine tasting (2 whites, 2 reds) and LOVED all 4 of them. Especially whites, as I'm not a big white wine fan. They were all so great and complex. The owner was there serving us the whole time and did a great job at answering any questions we had. Also, I will say he is SO patient! One of our guests was being high maintenance and he handled her so well. Lol. We all bought a bottle or two after the tasting because they were great.

The owner/wine maker was maskless the entire time. We asked his son in law who was working there, to ask him to put his mask on but he refused. The son in law has reminded him multiple times. He asked us as we left and said "are you vaccinated?" Then made sure we got charged for our tasting fee. Of course we are we are vaccinated we work in health care, just wanted a nice weekend away.
I would not recommend this spot. The son in law was great but the owner and wine maker was resistant to following WA state rules. Get on board or get out of business. Do not recommend this, if he followed regulations we would've bought wine. But when he questioned us, hell no. Wear your damn mask. It's still a pandemic.

This is one of our favorite cellars in the warehouse district. Generally, I like white wines more, and when it comes to reds, I am super picky. Icon makes smooth, well balanced reds and whites. We especially love their Dupape! I was surprised how much I actually like it. We bought two bottles home and will be back for more!
We also enjoy chatting with the friendly and knowledgeable cellar master and the owner. They are very passionate about what they do and definitely know what they are doing!
Icon was our first stop for the 2018 wine passport. I think other wineries will have a tough act to follow.

Great wines and great service! Love the atmosphere, always a good time when we go for tastings!

One of my favorites! The location is very nice-- in the warehouse district with plenty of parking, and they have a wonderful atmosphere inside their tasting room. They have wonderful wine and have free chocolates as well. I usually don't like Rosés, but theirs is wonderful. The music they had on was great too, and I felt like I was in Italy. I will definitely be back!
