Brian Carter Cellars Opens New Tasting Room
and Bistro in Woodinville’s Woodin Creek Village

On Wednesday, March 2^nd, Brian Carter Cellars opened a new Tasting Room and Bistro located in Woodin Creek Village in downtown Woodinville, WA.

After operating for many years in the Hollywood District in Woodinville, Brian Carter joins nearly 20 other wineries and restaurants that have opened recently, or will open soon, in the Woodin Creek development.

“We are excited to be a part of Woodin Creek, an evolving urban village located in the heart of Woodinville,” said owner and winemaker Brian Carter.  “I’ve always believed that enjoying food with wine is a much more fulfilling wine tasting experience. Opening a new tasting room in Woodinville with a full kitchen is the culmination of a dream, which began when we opened our space on the Vancouver, WA waterfront in 2020.”

“Our open kitchen in our new Woodin Creek location will allow guests to watch Chef Nicholas Ames in action and enjoy dishes carefully paired with the full selection of Brian Carter Cellars wines,” Carter added.  “We also look forward to offering expanded wine education, culinary, and live music experiences in our new location. The new space will also be available to rent for private events.”
