Novelty Hill Januik Winery

Oof. I've been wanting to come here for so long; have been hearing about Januik Syrahs.It's a beautiful, industrial, modern building. Very few tables inside. We had reservations. It was sprinkling so we asked for inside, when we saw they were walking us outside. Nope. No room. They sat us outside, under cover, with heaters. And dogs. And screaming children. This is where you seat people with children and dogs.We were told about the wine club before we had been introduced to the wine. We chose the reserve tasting, which was $30, refundable if you purchased 2 bottles. Our server brought the samples without any explanation of what we were trying. (Why would we join the wine club?) the wines were fine.Donny, however, stood out. He brought fantastic homemade ice cream and a taste of Syrah. He was friendly and shared some history. That was it. No other personal moment or interest in wine.I don't recommend this winery.

I arrived without a reservation on a gloomy summer Wednesday afternoon. The staff were friendly and happy to accommodate me for a tasting. I sat on a cozy couch next to a fireplace. The building and furnishing are somewhat industrial, but they manage to not feel cold. I love the red mountain reds, and I have found them to age well. As a member, tasting is complimentary, and the tasting staff let me know what they had open to taste. I enjoyed a small bowl of seasoned and marinated olives to nibble on during my tasting. I felt as though I had my own little space. The staff were attentive as needed but allowed me to enjoy my wine. I highly recommend this be added to your woodinville tasting route!

Beautiful ambience and outdoor tasting area. Charcuterie board was great and for the price the wine was a nice sampling, but the attendees knew nothing about the wine or grapes.A nice bonus got a bonus complementary Chardonnay and Grenache tasting!

On a sunny Friday, we decided to spend the afternoon at Januik! My oh my it did not disappoint! This place had all the great things from great wine, fast and friendly customer service and good food. They have both indoor and outdoor seating depending on what you like best. I do recommend getting a reservation on their website as it can be very popular on nice days. We will be back again to enjoy some good wine!

First time in the Woodinville wine area. Some friends have a membership to Novelty Hill Januik and decided to share than invite us out.The look of the winery is very spacious and looks like a large party hall which is kind of cool, different from the sort of typical woody look of a lot of other wineries or wine rooms.Starte off with a cheese croquette plate, I don't remember it's exact name, but it was really good both in taste and presentation. I don't know if it's a rotating menu here as far as food, but if it's still there, I recommend this.For the flight I went with the mixed - Januik Sauv Blanc, Novelty Hill chard, Januik Merlot and Novelty hill Cab Sauv. All were good and though my favorits are usually Merlot's, The sauv's were pretty good here.The service was very good. Our hostess and server were both very friendly and talkative during out visit.I see there is an outdoor space here, wouldn't mind coming back during warmer months and enjoying a couple glasses at that time.

Our family visited Novelty Hill Januik on the Saturday morning following Thanksgiving. We were a group of 7 and had put in 2 separate reservations due to not having called ahead of time to reserve seating for our larger party. We anticipated sitting separately given the reservations, but the hostess who checked us in graciously accommodated us at a larger table outside under their heated seating. After someone in our party spoke with a staff member inside, they were then able to accommodate us inside even though they were not obligated to. We were grateful, given how chilly it was outside despite the outdoor heaters. To start, we were each brought a complimentary white wine to taste. Our table shared 3 pizzas and the truffle fries and ordered 3 tasting flights. Wine in general doesn't agree with me, so my review will be focused on the food, which we all were super impressed with. The website doesn't have their food offerings posted, so we expected just charcuterie and small snacks, but were pleased to find the pizzas along with a variety of shareables on the menu including wings, salads, etc. The truffle fries were AMAZING - came out piping hot, each fry was perfectly crispy without an ounce of sogginess, and you could appreciate the taste of truffle. I'm afraid I can't remember the names of each of the pizzas we had - one was a pear/gorgonzola with gluten-free crust, one with sausage/pepperoni/roasted peppers/olives, and one with pepperoni/a chile pepper of some sort/honey drizzle. The crusts on these pizzas were so airy yet crispy and had that nice wood-fired taste, with the latter pizza being my favorite (that honey drizzle with the saltiness from the pepperoni was soooo goood) though I really loved them all. My husband and I also love Serious Pie, and when I asked him to choose this pizza or Serious Pie, he said he preferred this one, so there you have it! I love that I can just come back here for the yummy food and look forward to returning!

With anything more than 5 people they will tell you how much you have to spend. It's a huge venue. And they wanted to put us in a pavilion.... when we could easily sit at two tables.. unfortunately I will give my money to another winery.

I visited over the weekend and had a lovely experience! I wanted to thank Perla and Donny for their exceptional customer service and for helping to make our experience great. Great wine and a lovely outside area to sit in on a sunny day! Will definitely be visiting again soon!

Came here for a little corporate event and all the wines were so good!! We got a tour of the facility as well and you can tell they take a lot of pride in what they do. We sampled their sliders, spicy shrimp skewers, polenta tots (pass), charcuterie platter, and bruschetta which all were high quality and tasty! Definitely a cute winery with even better wine to go with it!

Did not like the fact that in order to have a group over 6 you had to spend $400 minimum to reserve a table. We probably would have spent it but I don't like being forced to spend a minimum amount of $400 not including tips or tax.
