Conn Creek Winery (St. Michelle Wine Estates) Review

Not bad odd to get into. But loaded quick. Nice and pretty scenery. First time I've seen flower and plants between each dock. Nice guys in shipping though.

We love this place. We always have a great time when we come here. It s one of the most famous wineries in Woodinville. We ve been to a couple concerts here too. We always come here a couple times a year. This is a must visit for anyone coming to Woodinville wine country

Great Customer Service Coupled With Wonderful Wine!

Beautiful place in the summer to picnic and listen to music.

While the wine was good or really good, the rules for the concert venue were ridicules. First $20 for parking was silly. Yes they had a free shuttle but with two small kids, that was not possible. The main reason I am giving it a two was the venue wouldnt allow us to pick our two small kids up so they could see the show. I have never been told I couldn't have my 2 year old on my shoulders before. We where standing in the back so we werent blocking other people views. We were also told that they couldn't play with a small blowup ball. Again I see this type of ball at all the other venues we have gone to. We got there a bit late so have a seat in the back. Normally this would be fine but the ground is a bit flatter so it was super hard to see the stage. In the end we will not go back to the concerts there. They could learn a few things from Mary Hill winery .

Beautiful setting in the countryside with trails for walking or hiking nearby.

So many great tasting rooms for wine, beer and spirits!

Knowledgeable folks. Very accommodating. Made our trip quite enjoyable

Interesting place to visit. A little expensive. Great wine selections.

ADDENDUM: The prices charged at the winery and on the Col Solare website are $35 to $25 MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAY at a liquor or wine store!!!

This review is for the Col Solare Bottega within Chateau Ste. Michelle. The five stars are ostensibly for our server Kate, who was personable and knowledgeable about the Col Solare wines. I was once a wine manager for restaurants, and I can get rather obnoxious testing young people who think they know about wine. Kate handled my questions with aplomb and charm.

Col Solare Bottega is a pretentious name for a glass enclosed space inside Chateau St. Michelle. The winery is very structured and organized, unlike the quintessential Woodinville experience. We had our table for one hour. When our time slot was over, it was time to get out! Unfortunately, we were 25 minutes late after the extensive check in process. Give yourself enough time to walk from the parking lot and get checked in. In our 35 minutes, we gulped down four great wines, purchased a few bottles, paid a lot of money and left.

It wasn t relaxed at all, and we wanted more time to enjoy and savor. Chateau Ste Michelle is gorgeous and well run. It is a wonderful experience for most tourists. We drove out from Seattle and just wanted to taste wine and have some fun. That is not what Chateau Ste Michelle is about. This is serious tourism.

Australian Pink Floyd sounds just like original band I ve heard in 1970!Row B 4,5 are in center. Sound of the drum beats can knock you out of the chair but was fantastic. It was sold out . Setup is well done. If you have a reserved seat you can park fairly close to the stage. Allow plenty of time for security check line. Unopened water bottle are ok. We had chairs .
It would be challenging if it were raining. We lucked out!

I would give it compared to other winery tasting rooms 3 stars. It was overall too crowded and service was not as premised. I've had much better experiences from South Africa to California.

Renovations on the main tasteing rooms is spectacular.

Great place to go see large venues on the lawn. Be prepared to walk a good distance. It gets a little crazy after the events end.

The complex has multiple places to visit on beautiful grounds. Theres a brewery, a winery, a physical challenge course, and Teatro Zinzanni is there now. I recommend any of these locations, but one star off for parking that can be difficult to navigate.

Came here as part of work's summer party. It was a good time at all the wineries and the whiskey distillery.

Very nice and well designed! Famous for their Riesling . Crowd on the weekend!

A little crowded but a very nice atmosphere with great wines.

A lot of friends have raved over Chateau St Michelle and their concert series. Never been a huge fan of their wines but my boyfriend and I figured we would give it a shot. We split a couple tastings and remain disappointed. Wines very over priced with low quality characteristics.

Water stations were not available, which seems odd with a privately owned venue. We were told we needed to walk around the building to the store entrance to access the restroom, only to find that where we had initially tried to enter was right next to the restrooms. Because we weren't "Reserve" we weren't able to access the building at that entry. The overall experience was a disappointment with the severe corporate atmosphere. Although the concert was enjoyable we chose to leave early based on our experiences that afternoon with zero intention of returning.

Love the he remodeled space. Come with a member if you can, they get nice perks.

Family wedding at the Hollywood schoolhouse and wine tasting before with friends in the area. Absolutely beautiful.

If you have the scratch, go to the wine auction in the fall... Amazing food and wines from all over the state. The wine tours are free and fun. Well worth the hour. You'll learn a lot about Washington wines

Beautiful and interesting place to visit. Very nice to walk around the grounds. Also have a venue for music, etc.

Saw earth wind and fire the concert was fun & exciting the winery was clean the employees very kind and professional, my only issue were with fans who had also bought GA lawn tickets who felt entitled & made rude comments because I was standing near them listening to music. Im not gonna say they were racist but they did seem stuck up. Fortunately for me i ignored them & enjoyed the amazing show & rather than let 4 or so people ruin my vibe i jammed out with the thousands of others there to have a good time.

Fancy fun place. Didn't visit for fun. Was doing some work there. But by watching the visitors they all were enjoying themselves.

Love catching live music performances here. The casual environment with friends, wine, and great music is always enjoyable.

I can hear the summer concerts from my house... I live nearby.

Such a classic winery in Woodinville! Love the new tasting room! and membership is great too.

What fun!!! Great wine, lovely surroundings, and great people working there. What more can one ask???

Premium is the word that covers all things Ste. Michelle. Premium wine, premium grounds, premium tour and premium people. Could not have had a better time. Me and my wife will be back for 1 of their summer concerts for sure!

Beautiful vineyard. We saw Jethro Till in concert there.

Who would have thought that just outside Seattle was a chataeu worthy of its own place in the hills of Southern France? Stunning grounds and lovely wine on a perfect summers day. The stars really aligned for us as the weather was perfect. I could see us coming back here a few times in the future!

I had the most wonderful experience with their customer service over a mere T Shirt after returning to IL. Wine tasting was great and reasonably priced we even got to keep our glasses. The place cross the street was much more expensive and charged me $3 for the wine glass to keep. We can not wait for our next visit

Beautiful location, the wine seems a bit pricey for what you get.

Average for a concert venue. Wine is average prices are above average.

Ste. Michelle winery is the oldest winery in Washington state. Producing good quality wine.

Also used as an event venue, the Chateaux grounds host a series of summertime concerts featuring top name artists from around the world.

Bought into the wine club and they still charged me for the wine tasting and should of deducted the flight from my membership

Foreigners Not Welcome - attempted a wine tasting with a 48 year old grey haired friend with an Australian drivers license. Turned away because they wanted a passport. Never again.

Nice tour, beautiful grounds, and great wine at a great price point.

Great atmosphere and great wine. Take the complimentary tour and tasting to get the full experience. They also have private tours and even a summer concert series.

Amazing local winery with tours, tastings, gift shop, and more great wine than you could drink in a lifetime. I recommend the Muscat Canelli. If you haven't seen a concert here it's an absolute must. I've been to at least six shows here and they've all been in the top ten best shows I've ever seen.

Excellent tasting room and our guide was so knowledgable and helpful!

Not really worth the hype. Crowded, pretentious and the bar maids aren t friendly at all. There isn t really any ambience so don t come here looking for an experience - just a VERY small pour of wine.

Really great since their remodel; amazing wines and a great long table that's very social!

A great venue for concerts! My inaugural trip to Chateau was amazing! Despite the fact that there was massive traffic getting to parking places, my husband and I found free parking with a free shuttle to Chateau Saint Michelle. I recommend getting there when the gates open to get a good spot. We came in about 6:15, and the entire venue was full. Nearly everyone brought beach chairs to sit in. My husband and I opted for a blanket, which we were happy about later because beach chairs would not have fit in the little spot that we sat, but our blanket squeezed in nicely. In the future, we would come early, get beach chairs and a cooler set up. Food is allowed to come in with you, but you cannot bring in alcohol.

Great wines, beautiful place. A little too "Napa" it seems. It's busy and some hosts are a little stingy with pours.

My favorite wines & favorite venue for concerts, what's not to love!

Great wines. Cool place to do a show. Love the ducks, the rainbow trout and the peacocks.

Beautiful winery located just east of Seattle across the bridge. The grounds are kept very manicured

Great venue and wonderful place with great wines... The food is over priced, but tasty

The summer concerts are always a blast! Great venue, amazing artists, and a wonderful atmosphere.

So much fun! If you go during the summer concert series go to the entrance in the very back of the winery. Don t even look into the front entrance it always takes longer no matter what even the staff tel you. Because they have no idea. It s super annoying as I have been told to wait in front even though the entrance in the back was much shorter.

Kind of a pain in the tail. Over-marketed with too many competing messages. Very corporate feel. We walked into the tasting room (which was a cookie cutter affair) looked around a bit and left. Nothing seemed unique or special.

Not sure where this is, but google thinks I was there?

I love their Muscat Canelli wine and have ordered 3 times for shipment to Wisconsin....that is until the latest order I placed. It shipped 7/27 UPS 2nd day air with ice pack included for arrival 7/29. It did not arrive and trying to track it was an issue as they gave me an incorrect tracking number. The person that took my order was new and entered my address incorrectly. It finally showed up today, 8/3, not in the original box and the address was altered a few times - and after sitting in a hot warehouse for 6 days. I refused shipment as heat is the worst thing for wines. I was so looking forward to the 2018 Canelli!! I wish I could buy it locally.

$10 flight of white wine. 3 other flights to choose from. Plus wine tasting from other vineyards available. The staff is very knowledgeable plus really great gifts you can buy for friends and family!

Good winery and surprisingly very family friendly. I never feel uncomfortable bringing my toddler there, she likes the tours and the gardens. It s nice having a nice place to go to that doesn t scoff at the fact that I have a child with me (like most nice restaurants). Oh and the wine is good too :)

The peacock is by your side when you are tasting wine.

The wines are ok, but the price is way too expensive for the quality. They are very strongly oriented towards European wine production, but at the same time demand a multiple price of comparable European wines. It is felt that more value is placed on names, awards and upscale ambience than on the quality of wine.

Joined the club and loving every minute of it. The concerts here are amazing been to a few of them. A must see washington winery

Good wine tour, knowledgeable staff, excellent pricing.

Here for the Counting Crows and a tad bit of wine and cheese. Always a great place to enjoy a summer evening

Great ambiance and good service. The foods were also delicious.

This has always been my favorite wines. The tour lasted about 30 minutes it was free and we tried four or five wines. Beautiful Winery, they even sell paninis at the end and you can have various flights which you pay for.

We took a complimentary tour, Sam told us lots of interesting things about the grapes, winery and its history. The tour was enlightening and educating, we were able to see the wine conveyer from the catwalk.
We were happy to recognized a couple of brands restaurants on the east coast sell.

Seeing Josh Groban here was epic!! the wine was awsome --> will be back.

Great wine tour and wine sampling. Very informative tour, friendly staff, and you can't beat the price of free! I'll definitely be back to sample and buy some wine. I sampled the 2016 Muscat Canelli and fell in love!

Chateau Ste Michelle has been on our bucket list of trips for 20 years. We had their Cabernet Sauvignon on our first date and it is a wine that has special meaning for us. Whenever we go out for dinner we always look for Chateau Ste Michelle wines. The winery and tours exceeded our expectations. We went on three tours and each were very different and each were great experiences - Sensory Sojourn, Private Salon Tasting and Celebrate Sparkling. If you are lucky to have Julio, Claire or Laura Lee as your guides/educators you won t be disappointed, in fact they are each pretty amazing. They were extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and you could tell really enjoyed what they were doing. They made wine accessible not pretentious. Would definitely go back again! We also became wine club members. Looking forward to re-experiencing our trip with our first shipment of wine! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Went to a concert on the grounds and can not say enough about the quality of the experience. Well run and organized. Food tents and wine by the bottle. If you have the chance take this space in. The winery is a separate experience in and of itself. I highly recommend taking the tour and spend some time in the tasting room.

Most of Washington's leading wineries and the Red Hook Brewery have a presence here. Along with an assortment of excellent restaurants, Chateau St. Michelle's concert venue, and the outstanding Willows Lodge, Woodinville's Tourist District is a destination not to be missed.
