Darby Winery

Great wine, great atmosphere, great help! I liked the Aunt Lee Syrah the best really liked all the wines though, would definitely recommend coming here!

Great wine tasting options! Came here on a Sunday with a reservation and the wine was poured right away. The Aunt Lee was my favorite out of the tasting! I'm not usually a red wine person but loved all the ones here. Will definitely come back!

Good wine, cute vibes, friendly employees - such a fun time! The 2014 Aunt Lee Syrah was the group favorite.

Went to Darby and was so delighted in the experience. The Purple Haze has such a fun story and is always $20!! Amazing!! Great service and wine!

Fantastic winery, with unique wines! Ashlyn is soo friendly and guided us through our wine tasting like a pro! Will definitely be coming back.

What a wonderful place. Great wines at a good price. We had great service there today. I will go back and buy more of their wine.

I have been a fan of Darby wines since 2009. I finally became a club member in 2020, and it makes me so happy. The wines are amazing! Fruity, bold, complex, delicious. They pair well with foods but also stand alone. The service is outstanding as well. Love this place!

We've been wine club members for 10 years. Their wines are amazing and their customer service is second to none! Aunt Lee and the Le Duce are our favorites (since our OG wine "Darkside" has been retired).


I'm not sure what happened with the other reviewer who aid they never received their wine. If they joined the wine club, Darby sends an email prior to each release showing you what the charge will be. They host release parties where you taste and pick up your wine, otherwise you just swing by the tasting room and pick it up. They've also always been response to my emails

Buyer beware. Do not join this wine club. I have and they took my money and I have not received the wine. They no longer respond to emails or pick up the phone.

John was fantastic! Very friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. AS WELL AS FANTASTIC WINES WITH AMAZING PRICES! If you're a red drinker, you'll love this winery.

The wine was good, though the customer service was questionable. They were frustrated that we had a large group and didn’t have a reservation, which is totally fair, however, we were willing to be as flexible as needed to make it work. They just treated us like we were a huge inconvenience the entire time and commented on our lack of reservation every chance they got. With so many wineries in the area, I will likely not visit this one again. Also, no other winery we visited this day remarked on our size of lack of reservation.

We have been in a few times on weekends. Very friendly staff and clean establishment. The times we have visited the tasting room is always packed and the vibe has always been good! Nice outside patio as well.

I enjoy their Rose (Grenache and Mourvedre) that is aged in stainless tanks. Great wine on a hot Seattle day. I also recommend their Purple Haze (Red blend Cabernet Sauv., Malbec, Petite Verdot, Merlot and a touch of Petit sirrah). Tastes like blackberry and plum. Aged in french oak. Yum!!

Good prices for tastings and wine bottle purchase.

Oh...did I mention they have clean restrooms

Went to this place, got there at 5:45pm. We have been told they open till 6pm, but they still serve wine to us. Asked a guy who was serving the wine if any places around this area open after 6pm. He said no, all the places around will be closed at 6pm. Bought 2 glasses of wine, sat outside. Around 6:15pm the guy said he needs to get our wine glasses back, they are closing. We didn't really finish our wine, he took our glasses from us. Don't make your customers hurry up, just stop serving your wine earlier. Terrable service! Never again going to this place. Will tell all my friends about

The staff is very knowledgeable, the wine is affordable and quite drinkable. It's a great price point with a range of taste to serve a broad range of palates. You can order food from the bar next door but I suggest going somewhere else for snacks.

Amazing wine place,very chill and Denise the lady who works at Darby is amazing and makes you feel at home.wines tastes great and the club membership is definitely worth it and this place is definitely worth a try.even tho there are other winer's close by this place was perefect.a must go too for wine and also to have a chill time while tasting wine

Denise, the tasting room manager, is the most amazing human being I have met on earth! The wine tasting is worth every penny, the conversation and company you have are worth every minute. I have lived in Seattle for two years and joined many wine clubs in woodinville, The wines are better than ALL of the other wineries. It beats out chateau st Michelle or Columbia. It's amazing ... you are missing out if you don't come by here!!!!!!!

What an experience! Me and some girlfriends from out of town were looking for a relaxed winery where we could chat, and have some Quality wine. Darby was highly recommended by our hotel concierges so we all decided to check it out! We ended up all joining the wine club and had a wonderful time with the owner and staff. Darby was very knowledgeable and friendly. I definitely would stop in if you like GREAT wine and wonderful people! Coming back next time we are in town!

The wine club is nice because you get early access to Purple Haze which is a great value. His other wines such as Chaos are amazing. Parking is tough at the Woodinville Tasting Room but once you're in you're golden.

We have been members here for a few years. I have always appreciated Darby's take on wine and hIs attention to detail. I have a few wineries here in Woodinville that are my go to places and Darby always makes the top of the list. On another note, (Darby) get some damn pillows for the couch ;)

One of the best Washington wineries I have visited. Great big juicy reds with lots of character. The staff at the warehouse location was very knowledgable and friendly. Love the minimalist feel to the tasting room, shows you they focus more on wine than looks. Would highly recommend joining the wine club to gain access to the wines only released to club members!

Came here to taste wines off our Woodinville wine passport and were not disappointed. Loved all of their wines. Will have to return when we cancel a few wine club memberships!

We have been to this tasting room twice - once several years ago and again this past weekend.
Wines are decent.

SERVICE: 2.5. Our drinks were delivered as ordered and quickly, with little banter and with frosty professionalism.

AMBIANCE: 4.0. We like the spare tasting room. It is set back from the other tasting rooms in the same building, and thus seems less visited. Unlike the other wine-tasting rooms around it, there was no crowd either time we were there.
We liked it even better during our first visit a few years ago, when old well-used tools adorned a wall.

So glad I randomly chosed this place. My girlfriends are all really happy about this place and one of them ended with a bottle. I personally loved the red chair and awesome decor....
