A Taste of Icicle Ridge Winery

Our server knew nothing more than what was printed on the flyers and across the board this is pretty very mediocre wine — just a bunch of fruity mid-​level wines. Woodinville or Walla Walla offer much better wineries where at the same price point you can get much better wines… As much as I love Leavenworth, this is not a place I’ll be back to.

The absolute highlight of my time in Leavenworth. My friends and I were drawn in by how beautiful the place was & decided to do some wine tasting. We were served by Nick, who was so awesome. I’m pretty sure he, alone, made our whole experience what it was! The wines were delicious. My favorite being the Blackberry! My friends and I left with a few bottles of it! I can’t wait to make a trip back up to Leavenworth to visit the Icicle Winery next. :)

I did not sample any of the wines. This was my first experience with the pay to sip and I wanted to look at the wine menu. This was the first shop we walked into and the young woman said it was ten dollars everywhere in town. I still wanted to read the menu… she then came to the table while we were reading the table and starting telling me facts about one of the white wines.
I decided to leave and go elsewhere. And no, it was not ten dollars everywhere!

Enjoyed the tasting here. Wines were the priciest compared to the other wineries but also were the smoothest so worth it. Knowledgeable staff and was not rushed in the tastings. She was able to tell me the drinking Windows of the wines I bought.

Laura our server was amazing!
Her knowledge of all of the wines they had to offer was unparalleled and my girlfriend and I both walked away feeling like this was not just a wine tasting, but a total experience.
She suggested a bottle for us to try and we had to buy it! It was incredible! We will absolutely be back to this place each time we visit Leavenworth!

While the wine is delicious, the service is sub par. We waiting forever for each wine tasting, and even longer for the bill. Don’t come here if you are in a hurry! But the wine is delicious!

Well they didn’t give us palette cleansers, no place to put the wine we didn’t care for during our tasting or water like all the other tables had. They also had BAD fruit flies that kept landing in my glass. They also forgot about us and didn’t bring us anything for over 20 mins. I don’t know if to call the winery directly or call the health department… yuck. Not worth the money.

Stopped in for a break while on a motorcycle ride. LOVE LOVE LOVE their décor! I had the sauvignon blanc and was a fan! The staff was friendly and attentive. They answered questions and let us try a few wines before making our selection. I would love to have stayed longer and would like to go back.

Great, relaxed, yet classy environment. Wonderful woodwork, great folks running the tasting, and most importantly delicious wine. Will come back again and again.

Sitting on their patio now sipping a mixed wine flight. Beautiful patio, good music, excellent wine; a perfect Saturday experience. I definitely recommend it!

Friendly staff, good food, good wine. Tried the purple haze cheese with our tasting. The cheese was a goat cheese with lavender. Re tasting included a series of 1 oz. glasses shared between my wife and me. Normally fans of red, we found ourselves favoring their whites which have a beautiful mix of fruit flavors. Great outdoor seating, too.

Awesome wine tasting! The tasting is $ 10/​person but if you end up buying a bottle of wine, they will waive the wine tasting fee (s). I went into it not knowing what to really expect, let alone buying any bottle, but we ended up buying 2 bottles! The lady would pour the wine into our glasses after she was sure we were done, which was nice. We didn’t feel rushed or anything, so we ended up being there for over an hour just chatting and drinking wine. The atmosphere is very cozy and relaxing. Because the store itself isn’t very big, there aren’t too many people who do wine tastings at once. This was definitely nice since it wasn’t very loud inside, but I guess that could be a bad thing because people can eavesdrop on your conversations :). I will definitely be coming back here the next time I’m in town.

I’m not a big wine lover, but my wife has become one due to places like this. The customer service was great and attentive to her and listened to her opinions, not just wanting to make a sale.

Had an awful experience at the Icicle Ridge Winery at the home front. We went on the wine tour with 6 other girls and this winery was the last stop. We enter the winery and they scooted us up into a room and shut the door and we asked if we could be seated outside. The manager told us that if we do go outside that we need to keep our voices down. I’m sorry but we did not walk into the winery being loud.
We eventually walked out of the room and went outside and I am very thankful that Tina made the rest of our time there pleasurable, thank you so much.
Also the manager was talking behind our backs and I overheard her and she saw me and rolled her eyes. Very rude. If you are a manager of such a fine establishment then I’m thinking you should treat your customers with respect.
I do hope the owners read this review.
thank you.

We visited Leavenworth for the weekend and I walked past this place twice before going in. It’s ADORABLE inside and the girls are just as cute and sweet. We set up for a tasting of their whites, reds and dessert wines and MAN were we glad we did. The Log Home Red was my favorite & delicious and I also took home their Blondes Gewürztraminer which was selling out FAST. It’s the perfect patio wine that isn’t TOO sweet.
I am NOT a port drinker or any dessert wine enjoyer, BUT … their Chocolate Cherry Passion is amazing. It’s a tootsie roll in a bottle! Take some home :)
Don’t pass this place up. It’s too cute for words, great service and the wines are worth every penny!

The atmosphere was very nice. Only drawback is when ordering cheese, they don’t serve crackers– oyster crackers don’t really count. For these prices, pony up some crackers is a nice touch. Very friendly staff.

Love this tasting room on front street, try and go every time we are in Leavenworth. Have done the wine tasting before, very good, only did it once since I’m not the biggest fan of ports. Last weekend ordered the mixed flight, went with the two whites and a red. The Stiletto red was one of the best wines I have ever had! I am pretty budget conscious, aka cheap, but really considered paying $ 55 for a bottle of it. Will for sure come back!

Buyer beware.
I arrived at their storefront to buy two bottles of wine to bring to a friends dinner party. An employee greeted us, «we’re a new winery,» and asked if I’d like to taste a wine while putting two wine glasses before my husband and I. I said, «sure.» We tasted a few wines, though the server only used one of the two glasses she put before us, thus my husband and I shared each taste in the same single glass.
When I paid for the wine that I bought, the price seemed inaccurate by about twenty dollars. I asked the server about it, she took out a pamphlet and showed me a line of text saying that wine tastings are $ 10. Then she swiped the screen on the Ipad used to process my credit card while saying, «and here you can add gratuity,» while pressing the 20% gratuity button for me which added another nearly ten dollars to the bill automatically while giving it to me to sign.
I’ve been to many wineries. I have never have I been charged a wine tasting fee. Talking with friends about this experience, they share that fees are not totally unheard of even if uncommon, of but certainly one is never charged without being told up front. They also shared than when a customer buys wine they are never charged for tasting. If I were asked up front if I would pay $ 20 for my husband and I to taste a few wines, sharing a single glass, before buying two bottles I would have said no.
What about the wine? The red, very young, not formed yet. The sauvignon blanc was ok, it was sweet, they offered no dry wines. The experience. Downright awful. I feel as though I’ve been pick-​pocketed. It really colored my experience of Leavenworth, which is a shame because its really a lovely town.
