Tasting Room

Come visit us at SODO Gateway! We are a quick 5-minute drive from Downtown Seattle or 10-minute walk from the SODO Link Light Rail station. We have a large free parking lot and share the lot with other wineries, a cidery and distillery.

New to the tasting room!

We are proud to announce our new partnership with Cheese Monger, Rachael Lucas. Our cheese offerings will be procured exclusively for Elsom Cellars and rotated on a regular basis. You can enjoy the adventure of pairing wine and cheese from small producers around the world while visiting our tasting room. In addition, you can take your experience home! All of our featured cheeses will be available “to go” for just $10 per portion. We have always felt a great food and wine pairing brings the full magic of taste to your experience.

Rachael Lucas is an American Cheese Society CCP (Certified Cheese Professional), CCSE (Certified Cheese Sensory Evaluator), Society of Wine Educators CSW (Certified Specialist of Wine), and she has recently received her Wine and Spirit Education Trust WSET level 3 accreditation. She is the founder and owner of Cheese Lady Loves Wine LLC, and she mostly spends her time chasing organoleptic variety and turning folks on to the best cheese she can find. For more information on Seattle’s favorite Cheese Lady, check her out at Cheeseladyloveswinellc.com.

How can great wine be even better?

A good food pairing of course!

Elsom Cellars strives to use local purveyors and skilled artisans. Check with your server for more details.

HAND SELECTED

We offer high-quality small food plates to pair with our wines. Sitting around the table with friends and strangers over food and wine builds community in a unique way. We are so grateful to be in a region that thrives on good food systems and sustainable practices. These local producers make it easy for us to bring it to you!
