We came for one tasting and ended up staying most of the afternoon. The patio was relaxed, the staff made us feel completely at home, and we’d absolutely come back.
The Experience
The Woodinville experience pairs a Prohibition-era concept with a working winery rather than stopping at themed décor. The tasting room includes a hidden-door tour into the production area, giving visitors a behind-the-scenes look at where the wines are made. Prohibition also has a substantial event side: its Woodinville space is used for live music, dueling pianos, wine dinners and private events, and the winery describes the room as having hidden doors, production intrigue and a surprisingly expansive layout. For visitors who want more than a standard tasting flight, this is one of the Warehouse stops where the winery story, production space and entertainment programming are deliberately part of the experience.

About Prohibition Cellars
Inspired by the spirit of craftsmanship that endured long after Prohibition ended, Prohibition Cellars celebrates Washington wine through small-lot production and a passion for expressive, fruit-driven wines. The winery focuses on sourcing high-quality grapes from respected vineyards across the Columbia Valley, creating bottles that reflect both the diversity of Washington's growing regions and the individuality of each vintage. Its boutique approach emphasizes quality over quantity, allowing every wine to receive careful attention from harvest through bottling.
The tasting room offers a portfolio that spans classic Washington reds, approachable whites, and thoughtfully blended wines, giving guests the opportunity to experience a range of styles in one visit. Rather than following trends, Prohibition Cellars concentrates on producing balanced wines that pair naturally with food and are equally enjoyable for longtime enthusiasts and newcomers alike. The relaxed atmosphere encourages conversation, making each tasting an opportunity to learn more about the vineyards, winemaking process, and the stories behind every bottle.
While its name recalls a fascinating chapter of American history, the experience is firmly rooted in today's thriving Washington wine industry. Guests will find a welcoming environment where handcrafted wines take center stage, offering an authentic glimpse into the creativity and dedication that continue to define Woodinville's boutique wineries.
