This was a great little winery that offers many other things. Painting classes, come and bottle your own days, excellent chocolate in addition to great wines. Many of us there today bought several bottles and bags of chocolate to enjoy later. I plan on bringing some other friends there soon.
My Husband and I did the wine tasting, which you have to pay for if you do not purchase a bottle. We bought a bottle and sat outside on their open lawn furniture and enjoyed- it was a great time-Thanks!
We stumbled upon Vartanyan about 3 years ago while on the Whatcom Farm Tour. What an amazing find! The wines are fantastic and the venue is very comfortable. Margarita is very passionate about her work and loves to invite her guests into conversation about the wine. She really creates a wonderful environment for tasting and learning about wines,
Check the website for special events such as "Punch the Must" Barrel Tasting, and Summer Music & Wine events. Affordable and fun wine club. This is our favorite place to bring friends, kids, and a picnic!
Usually you find 1-2 wines at the winery you like. Here I absolutely love every wine I tasted. They open different wines every weekend, check their Syrah and Tempranillo, if they have those wines open for tasting. Balanced, with blossom of flavors, the wines have long finish and smooth and complex aftertaste.
Great outside picnic area, but weather wasn't welcoming to sit outside when I came, plan to come back for sure and have a glass of wine outside next time.
Very nice, small, family owned winery. Love their red wines: soft, smooth, well-aged in barrels and very reasonably priced. Wish the weather was better to sit on outside patio with the glass of wine, the view of Mount Baker is incredible. And the greeting teem of 2 winery dogs was so welcoming. Definitely worth a visit.
Wines are very oxidative in style. What they do is probably just fine for people who just want to have fun, or take a picnic along on a nice day (the grounds are pretty), but if you're a serious kind of wine person (like me) this is not going to be your kind of place.
