What People Are Saying About Chateau Ste Michelle Winery

In Short – This prestigious mansion winery, just 25 minutes east of Seattle, presents a fine blend of blues, jazz and rock music for its 17th summer concert series. Set in an intimate outdoor amphitheater, the 87-acre winery attracts high caliber talents like Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt and Garrison Keillor. Bring a picnic, buy a bottle of Chardonnay at the winery's shop and relax. The concert, as well as the wine-drinking, goes on rain or shine.

This place is great, amazing guest services staff but could use more permanent facilities for concerts...place to eat and watch the concert (pre-show dinner?), on-site restaurant / hotel?

  • Pros: Setting, staff, shop,

Lovely Night, Great Music, Fantastic Venue

by melaniewinters

I love this venue! This was my second concert here, I saw Lyle Lovett earlier in the summer. Both events were spectacular. I thought the management of the grounds, the crowd, and the rules were enforced from where I was. The only recommendation that I can make to future concert goers is to get to the venue early. If you get there aroun 3-4pm for a 7pm show, you can have a little picnic on the lawn (in a semi-formed line) and then when the gates open lay your blanket on the lawn with your lowback chairs to stake your claim on the lawn. (I prefer the lawn to the reserved seating chairs because you can stretch out a little more). Once you get your blanket out, you can get your hand stamped and head over to the Redhook Brewery across the street and grab dinner there or get it boxed up to go. Once you're back on the lawn the shows that I've been to have started on time at 7pm. At the Lyle Lovett concert the sun set just as hot air balloons floated above. At one point, the Washington Dinner Train chugged along behind the venue. I can't think of a better place to see a show. You should take a rolling cooler, a picnic blanket, low chairs, and maybe a small folding table. Enjoy!!

  • Pros: Beautiful Setting, Ambience, Parking is Free

Terrible management of concert

by chett

What a shame! An otherwise beautiful little outdoor concert area was ruined by lack of enforcement of venue rules and nightmare of poorly managed "first come first served" seating. Chain smoking all over, outside of designated areas - tall chairs used against winery "rules" - resulting in empty patches of lawn behind those folks, resulting in lack of useable seating area for the rest of us who followed the rules by bringing low chairs. We had to sit outside of view of the stage in constant billowing cigarette smoke. Nonstop wine sales throughout the show meant increasing drunken disorder throughout the night, so we left early. All this for $50 a person plus service fees. Never again!

  • Pros: parking shuttle
  • Cons: disorder, ticket price, poor management

The Details on Chateau Ste Michelle Winery

When To Go:

Buy tickets in advance--it's a popular series--and watch the traffic on the bridges before you head out. If you want a front row seat, arrive when the amphitheater opens at 5pm.

Know Before You Go:

If you arrive early, you can tour the wine cellar, explore the beautifully manicured grounds and meet the mallards that patrol the trout-rearing ponds.
