My coworkers met after work for a happy hour at L’Ecole and were very happy with the wines, the space, and with Lindsey (spelling?). She was very knowledgeable about the wines and the winery. Our favorite red was their Syrah.

Solid wine and a nice tasting room. Very different than their legacy tasting room at Walla Walla.

We went to L'Ecole on Saturday. We did not make a reservation ( I was not the one who was getting everyone together). There were three other tables (basically empty winery) and we were met by someone that seemed that she did not want to be there what so ever. More people that showed up, more irritated she got. Again, I was not the one that planned the outing, so I did not know there was going to be as many people as there was. But that being said in an empty winery, you would think you would want customers in there and to make tips. We were told at one point that this was too much and basically not to come back. We all left and went to another winery a couple doors down that accepted our business pleasantly. I don't think I will be coming back to this tasting room again.

I'm so glad that L'Ecole has this tasting room in Woodinville. We visited on a lovely Saturday and were treated to a great flight-tasting experience. I did a flight of reds and my wife did a flight of whites (plus the 40th anniversary red). Delicious all around! We shared a charcuterie plate as well, which was straightforward but perfect.Our serving host was welcoming, personable and great! She represented the brand and the heritage very well, adding in some notes from her background in different region of the country. She was knowledgeable but casual, with just the right blend of both to match the vibe of the brand and the location.Happy to say that our visit resulted in us buying a couple bottles as well.We will certainly be back again.

I came with a group of 9 people who are bad at arriving on time to do tastings and the ladies that were working were super accommodating and willing let our late arrivals get caught up with the rest of us. Membership was an amazing deal I don't know if they were just being nice but they applied the benefits for my entire party.And as one last note the luminesce was absolutely delicious almost every person I came with bought a bottle

It hurts a little bit to give “just 3 stars”, so let me share the details of why I can’t justify more.We booked a tasting for 2 and walked in with just two other tables seated. Things started off strong, we were immediately given water and menus.We both opted for the tasting. Our first pour was given with a simple, “this is X wine”. No details, tasting notes, etc. a bit odd, but maybe just the first? Or perhaps because we had been looking up something on our phones?We moved onto the second and the same trend. My wife even asked “interesting, I’m not familiar with this blend, can you share more?” And was met with a “yeah, that’s what we grow out there. Not many do.” It felt very lackluster.As the tastings continued, we heard the table behind us (with a different server) getting some descriptions. Nothing extremely detailed, but at least tasting notes, etc. it’s part of the fun with wine tasting after all!When we got to the final round, we had to remind our server that we had one more to taste. It just sort of felt like we were an inconvenience and hard to relax.Service aside, it’s a new location that’s clean and inviting. The wines each have interesting elements, but very similar finishes. Of course wine is subjective to and extent, but i wouldn’t expect to be blown away.

The wines at L'Ecole have always been great, but this was the first time I had been to the Woodinville tasting room. The service was fantastic and highly recommend the 2020 estate Syrah.

We always love going here for wine tastings. All of the employees are friendly and very knowledgeable about the wines. The tastings are very generous which is a huge plus.

Welcome to Woodinville L'ecole and welcome to the Hollywood District - we are glad your tasting room has arrived. L'ecole is one of the first - I don't know what you would say - craft - wineries in Washington. They were one of the pioneers of the Washington wine scene out of Walla Walla. I've been a huge fan for years. Their wines are well crafted and balanced and consistently demonstrate strong craftsmanship and performance year over year. This location is inviting and will feature all the current releases and some library wines from time to time. Staff knowledge is hit and miss though. When we were in for the Spring 2023 release tasting, the lady pouring for us had not idea about the gradation or variation of what we were drinking. Didn't make the experience that engaging.

I have always purchased L'ecole wines because they are high quality and delectable, so naturally when this tasting room opened up, we had to check it out. My friend had a toddler and baby in stroller in tow and we were able to get a table near the back door on a relatively busy Saturday. We enjoyed the tasting and the relaxing decor of the space. I can already tell we will be back as my friend wants to join the wine club!

It was my first time doing a wine tasting in Woodinville and this place was a vibe! The staff was super friendly to us and very knowledgeable about the wines. It was a very special and memorable experience, I'll definitely be coming back. We did the $20 wine tasting and the wine was so good we ended up buying some bottles for home. Rose was 100/10

New, modern tasting room in the streets of ...Woodinville? The set up inside is clean and almost cafeteria like. We took a couple of bottles home but the space isn't one where you can settle in and get comfortable. It was in and out for us here.

I'm not much of a wine drinker, but more than willing to learn and try. The staff goes above and beyond to make everyone feel like the center of attention and welcomed. Fantastic wine knowledge and eagerness to share. The wine is also super tasty. I am not a club member, but the frequency of events, upcoming calendar, and discounts may push me to join.

Excellent wine in a, what I assume is a newer growing area to venture for us crazy wine lovers. The gal that greeted and took care of us was lovely and made ya feel like friends. I took one star off not having a bathroom in the facility but their is a public one near by.
