Bacovino Winery produces both white and red wines using grapes sourced from some of Washington's best vineyards and currently produces nine varietals including a Merlot, Barbera, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon. Bacovino Wine may be purchased online or at the winery's new tasting room that recently opened south of downtown Seattle near the Museum of Flight. Visitors to the contemporary space will find a variety of tasting options Wednesday -Sunday.

Winemaker Randy Brooks' goal is to achieve clean, ripe, stylistically expressive, and aromatic wines that let the individual site characteristics of each vineyard shine.
