Testimonials

“I celebrated my 40th birthday here and it was absolutely perfect! The wine is delicious with so many great varieties to choose from, so every guest found something they loved. The wine selected for the event had custom labels with my face on them, which was such a fun touch. The open space is beautiful and made the whole event feel relaxed and special. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, helping with recommendations and making everything run smoothly. There were about 35 guests and there was plenty of room for more to sit down and eat comfortably or stand at cocktail tables and chat. The Seahawks game was playing on the big screen with music playing on the speakers so everyone, especially me who doesn't love football :), was happy. It was the ideal place for a celebration, and I couldn't have picked a better venue!”

"Eight Bells recently hosted my 80th birthday party, and it was an unforgettable experience.  Events Manager Tyson was so easy to work with and fulfilled all of my and my wife’s requests, at reasonable costs.  Tyson, Taylor and Kip went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, from the décor to the delicious wine and food. The winery location adjacent to Thorton Creek made it extra special. Our guests were truly impressed by the warm hospitality and welcoming atmosphere, making the celebration even more joyful. We highly recommend this venue for any group event."

“We had a Happy Hour and Hellos event for young professionals at Eight Bells Winery and it was such a fantastic experience!  Taylor and Tyson were amazing to work with, and the space is beautifully unique with the magical Thornton Creek being so close.  They created special bottle labels for our organization, too. I am always looking for a special venue for new events and Eight Bells was really special. I look forward to hosting another event there in the future!”
