Novelty Hill Januik Winery

Sunday wine tasting for eight? Count me in! Novelty Hill Januik Winery was our first stop of the day. My friends had visited before and had great things to say about the food and wine.

Food? Delicious.
Wine? Incredible.
Service? Outstanding.

We had a couple bottles of rose, tried almost all of the food items, and did a classic wine tasting. For food, the truffle fries and burrata salad are must-tries.

Did not like the fact that in order to have a group over 6 you had to spend $400 minimum to reserve a table.

We probably would have spent it but I don't like being forced to spend a minimum amount of $400 not including tips or tax.

Came here for a little corporate event and all the wines were so good!! We got a tour of the facility as well and you can tell they take a lot of pride in what they do.

We sampled their sliders, spicy shrimp skewers, polenta tots (pass), charcuterie platter, and bruschetta which all were high quality and tasty! Definitely a cute winery with even better wine to go with it!

Beautiful modern setting and big tasting room. $25 for classic wine tasting and &35 for reserved 4 pours. Food menu is very good too.

This winery has been a favorite of mine for years and I finally joined the wine club. They have an impressive variety of wines -- and at great price points, too, which really makes them stand out in the Woodinville wine scene. I'm a fan of their GSM-blend wines and the son, Andrew Januik's new line of wines, but you can't go wrong here. Go on weekends for their delicious pizzas, too. The outdoor area is beautiful and dog friendly. The staff are really kind and attentive. I can't say enough things about how much I enjoy this spot. The wine club has some of the best perks around, too, so it's worth checking out.

Been here a few times for different occasions. Getting a reservation is relatively easy and the service has always been welcoming. Highly recommend their Rose! They also have small bites that are perfect for wine tasting.

I arrived without a reservation on a gloomy summer Wednesday afternoon. The staff were friendly and happy to accommodate me for a tasting. I sat on a cozy couch next to a fireplace. The building and furnishing are somewhat industrial, but they manage to not feel cold. I love the red mountain reds, and I have found them to age well. As a member, tasting is complimentary, and the tasting staff let me know what they had open to taste. I enjoyed a small bowl of seasoned and marinated olives to nibble on during my tasting. I felt as though I had my own little space. The staff were attentive as needed but allowed me to enjoy my wine. I highly recommend this be added to your woodinville tasting route!

Oof. I've been wanting to come here for so long; have been hearing about Januik Syrahs.

It's a beautiful, industrial, modern building. Very few tables inside. We had reservations. It was sprinkling so we asked for inside, when we saw they were walking us outside. Nope. No room. They sat us outside, under cover, with heaters. And dogs. And screaming children. This is where you seat people with children and dogs.

We were told about the wine club before we had been introduced to the wine. We chose the reserve tasting, which was $30, refundable if you purchased 2 bottles. Our server brought the samples without any explanation of what we were trying. (Why would we join the wine club?) the wines were fine.

Donny, however, stood out. He brought fantastic homemade ice cream and a taste of Syrah. He was friendly and shared some history. That was it. No other personal moment or interest in wine.

I don't recommend this winery.

Beautiful ambience and outdoor tasting area.

Charcuterie board was great and for the price the wine was a nice sampling, but the attendees knew nothing about the wine or grapes.

A nice bonus got a bonus complementary Chardonnay and Grenache tasting!

On a sunny Friday, we decided to spend the afternoon at Januik! My oh my it did not disappoint! This place had all the great things from great wine, fast and friendly customer service and good food.

They have both indoor and outdoor seating depending on what you like best. I do recommend getting a reservation on their website as it can be very popular on nice days. We will be back again to enjoy some good wine!
