Goose Ridge Woodinville Tasting Room - Winery in Woodinville - 14450 Redmond - Woodinville Rd NE, USA

During my time in Woodinville my cousin was insistent that we stop in to Goose Ridge. She told me about their ciders as she's not big into wines. Instead of ordering a glass I thought, why not give all of their ciders a try!? Our server was so nice! They told that you have the option of shipping some cider or wine to you. Depending on where in the United States you live.

Really fun time tasting wines here! We had a great time sitting in front of the fireplace and enjoying a short cute replay well tasting their flight. We brought a couple of bottles home. I'm so glad that we stopped by here for a bite, a drink, and a wonderful time!

This is a really enjoyable tasting room! The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed and easy-going. The tasting is cheap, and the wines are great! There are some seating areas inside and out, but the place is pretty small, so depending on when you go there might not be room to buy a bottle, sit, and drink. If you want to understand how Washington wine making works, this is your place.

Wonderful staff with great wine, cider and atmosphere! They have a new line of brandy, gin and vodka that are amazing.

My review specifically references the Spirits/Spirits flight at the Richland Winery. My interest was in the nature of spirits distilled from grapes/wine (I don't know the details of how they did it since we had no discussion with the staff). GR charged us $15 for a "flight" (if we can all it that...😂) of 3 spirits plus a "cocktail" (more like a mocktail...😖). The biggest issue were the size of the pours.... There was not more than perhaps a quarter to at most a third of an ounce in our glasses. This is INSANE! I have been sipping countless spirits for years - and was shocked that we would not have been provided decent pours for $15 - a half or 2/3s of an oz costs absolutely nothing to GR - but they gave us barely enough except for a couple of small sips. Second, and nearly as significant, the spirits suck - they are just not quality material. I give some credit to the vodka - not bad - and interesting. I did not bother finishing my teeny pour of gin (yuck!) - and the brandy - started well but late mid-palate into the finish became bitter... Simply lousy brandy - don't waste your effort. The so called cocktail - Silly - sweet lemonade with no noticeable alcohol - what a joke - irrelevant. So there you have it - don't waste your time or money on GR's spirits or spirit flight... Super disappointed in the corporate treatment of this part of the business - and colors my perspective of GR. All that being said - the grounds of the Richland winery are lovely - great lawn, lawn seating, nice winery inside albeit a bit dark. There you have it - hope the wine flights and wine are WAY better....otherwise GR is simply nice grounds....

Wow. Both the cider and wine here were fantastic. Especially the ciders! So delicious! Our server was very nice and attentive too.

Excellent wines. Vodka was first rate. This place is worth coming back. The server Matthew was knowledgeable, personable and a treat to deal with. I hope he is recognized for the gem he is. Thank you for a great experience!

Joining the Goose Ridge Cider Club has been very rewarding. We go to the Tasting Room with every new cider release for a complimentary flight of ciders, and it's hard to pick a favorite. These ciders are delicious and elegantly bottled. The staff are welcoming; Chris is such a great host with knowledge of and enthusiasm for all the products. The wines are exceptional, too, and I usually go home with a bottle or two of something else that GR produces.
