Established in 2009, the partnership joined friends Tim Bates, Andy Shepherd and Frank Michiels along with their decades of winemaking experience into a singular effort to produce quality wines that reflect the terroir of select Washington State vineyards. By having exclusive access to grapes from premier vineyards in Washington's Yakima Valley it allows us to produce wines of depth, complexity and character.
The nautical measure of time has traditionally been the ringing of a bell, one strike for each half hour of a four-hour watch. At the Eighth Bell the sailor's watch is over. At sea, Eight Bells marks a change, a change in watch, a change in activities. To us, Eight Bells Winery marks both a change in our careers and an opportunity to take our winemaking skills to a new level.

In addition to tastings, we will continue our free local delivery service on Fridays and we will still offer alley pick-up service on Saturdays and Sundays. Located in the Roosevelt neighborhood of North Seattle our urban winery is accessed either through a walkway off of Roosevelt Way or the Parallel alley in the back.
The Vineyards
Report
Our vineyard affiliations are the cornerstone of our winery. By having exclusive access to grapes from premier vineyards in Washington's Yakima Valley it allows us to produce wines of depth, complexity and character. Red Willow Vineyard, located at the western end of the Yakima Valley, is one of the oldest and most acclaimed vineyards in the state.
The Restaurants
Report
Where a global wine list meets seasonal northwest ingredient. Lively, casual, welcoming. Wrought iron fixtures, poured concrete floors, and old-brick walls. Over 70 wines available by the pour or in flights. It's an excellent destination whether you're on a date, meeting with friends, or holding a business function.

Donation Policy: We receive several requests each day for donations to a cause. We agree that all of these requests are worthwhile. However, we are a small winery and can only donate so much. Our policy is to try to support the organizations that our club members bring to us. Our usual donation is not a case or cases of wine but an empty magnum (1.5 L) with your event on the label.
