Behind the Menu: Village Wines Featured in Woodinville Wine Country’s Series
If you’ve ever wondered what makes Village Wines in Woodinville so special, now you don’t have to take just our word for it. The team at Woodinville Wine Country recently stopped by to film an episode of their series Behind the Menu, and we couldn’t be more excited to
share the story with you. From our beginnings as a tiny wine bar in 2006 to becoming a true community gathering space, this episode captures what makes Village Wines feel like home.
From Small Wine Bar to Beloved Hangout
Village Wines first opened its doors in 2006 with a simple idea. Create a cozy little wine bar with desserts. What started as a modest dream grew into something much bigger. It grew into an everyday hangout where neighbors, friends, and even first-time visitors instantly feel welcome. Unlike many restaurants where you might feel out of place, Village Wines has always been about comfort, connection, and a casual yet refined atmosphere.
When you walk through our doors, you’ll find people gathering for long chats over a bottle. Perhaps professionals setting up laptops for a working lunch, or friends reconnecting at one of our sunny patio tables. That feeling of belonging isn’t an accident—it’s the heart of Village Wines.
A Wine List Rooted in Local Loyalty
You’ll notice how much of our wine list features local bottles from small, boutique wineries. That’s no coincidence. These wineries stood by us when times were tough, and pouring their wines is our way of standing by them. Supporting small producers in Woodinville Wine Country is part of our DNA.
Our list is full of wines that tell stories—about family-run vineyards, creative winemakers, and the relationships that make this community thrive. Choosing a glass here means you’re not just sipping something delicious.. You’re also raising a toast to the neighbors who keep Woodinville’s wine scene vibrant.
Community at the Core
Ask anyone who spends time at Village Wines, and they’ll tell you it feels like more than a restaurant—it feels like family. Guests stay for hours, conversations flow across tables, and bonds are built over shared meals and pours. The Behind the Menu episode highlights this, showing how we’ve weathered challenges like recessions, a pandemic, and family hardships—not alone, but with the unwavering support of our guests.
That support has always gone both ways. We love that people ask about our family, check in on how we’re doing, and celebrate milestones alongside us. At the end of the day, the name “Village” fits perfectly—it’s truly what we’ve become together.
Hideaway 110: Sip, Shop, and Discover
One of the newer chapters in our story is the transformation of our event space into Hideaway 110, a charming connected shop where you can sip while browsing unique goods from local makers. Think gifts you won’t find in big-box stores, treasures with heart and creativity, and the same welcoming vibe that defines Village Wines.
It’s one more way we’ve worked to expand what we offer the community, while keeping that warm, home-like feeling. Grab a glass, wander the shelves, and discover something delightful—it’s all part of the Village Wines experience.
