Bergdorf Cellars

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! First place I will stop on my next time through. Beautiful space, and lovely wine!

Nice experience, the lady serving was very knowledgeable about the wines. Wines were reasonably priced. I don’t usually like Reisling; but theirs was on the dry side and very good. Did not feel rushed and was able to take my time going through the tasting. Like all the wineries tasting fee was waived with buying a bottle.

Came in yesterday to pick up our Baroness wine membership orders. As a benefit, free wine tastings!
When I started tasting wine 14 years ago, I wasn’t a big on whites due to the gasoline, asphalt, and tar flavors often I’d pick up. I don’t like dry or peppery reds either.
But after going through Bergdorf’s list, I hit pay dirt with their 2012 Late Harvest Reisling — sweet but not too much, very smooth, big pear and subtle cinnamon flavors. And our server was very friendly and helpful! We ended up getting 3 bottles, though maybe we should have bought more. They’ll probably last me quite a few months, considering how little I usually drink anyway.

Really interesting shop with lots of wine gifts and fun items.
The most memorable part was the wine tasting. They have this warm red wine that tastes a bit like warm apple cider. Perfect for the holiday season! Go in and try it!

We enjoyed the wine tasting and even bought a few bottles to take with us. Was a good selection and the service was great. We hope to make it back sometime.

What a great idea, my roommate and I thought, let’s go to Leavenworth right before Christmas! It will be SO nice to experience the German Christkindlmarkt feeling before the holidays.
Okay, so we thought that and about twelve billion other people (plus or minus a few standard deviations of people)…
Nonetheless, Leavenworth was beautiful, and we found ourselves in Bergdorf Cellars, wandering among the antiques and hunting for Christmas presents. I loved that there were two stories, and while the cellars naturally lend a winery feeling to the place, there are also all kinds of other interesting gifts and things to be found. I was particularly partial to the old fashioned cameras, wondering if they had any film too.
The tasting room is tucked away at the front of the top level, which is brilliant since it economizes the space in a naturally high-​demand place. We didn’t try any wine, but I wouldn’t be opposed to a wine-​tour of Leavenworth the next time we get the itch for a road trip. Maybe not when so many other people think it’s a good idea too…

Life lesson #52: Wine tasting is best done after margaritas.
Your palette will already be shot to hell after a couple of margies. Your sensory functions will be null because, let’s face it, happy hour fries the brain like nothing else does.
BUT, Bergdorf was only a hop and a skip away from our happy hour spot, South, so it would be a crime if we didn’t continue the drinking.
I neglected to get the name of the blonde woman who helped us with the tasting, but she was very helpful. We even got to talk about wines from California vs. Washington, etc. Tasting fee is $ 5 but refundable if you buy a bottle.
The flight includes two whites (Chenin Blanc, a dry Riesling and late harvest Riesling) and reds which includes Lemberger, Syrah and if you’re nice, a taste of their sangria ;-)
I really like the Lemberger. It’s easy to drink, medium bodied with rustic tannins and I smelled cherries and berries. In Austria it’s known as «Blaufränkisch» which literally translates to blue faced French men. After drinking tons of this stuff, you get the idea why …
Bergdorf is really popular for their Glühwein. As I’ve been told, no German would be caught drinking Glühwein outside of the Christmas season. But I guess in Leavenworth, anything goes! It tasted exactly like mulled wine and all the spices, plus the warmth of the wine itself would make for an awesome drink during the chilly temperatures around Christmas time.
We ended up buying a couple of bottles to take back home and I’m happy with my purchases. Now time to crack open that bottle of sangria …

My boyfriend and I went here for a wine tasting over the weekend. The woman who did our tasting was extremely nice and very knowledgeable. We had the opportunity to try 7 wines for $ 2.50 per person.
I am more partial to whites than reds, so I was a little sad to see there were 5 reds and only 2 whites to try. However, the whites were quite good and the reds, while not my typical preference for reds, were also enjoyable (minus one that had a pepper aftertaste! Dump!).
The best wine, hands down, was the warmed Glühwein. It was like Christmas in a bottle. I could easily see myself curling up in a cozy blanket and drinking a ton of that stuff. We wasted no time deciding to buy a bottle to share. We’re definitely looking forward to drinking it together during the holidays.
I would definitely come back here again for a tasting!

I worked in a winery, I love wine, and I have been to many, many wineries, and Bergdorf is one of my new favorites. Every single wine they create has a unique and complex taste. The whites are delicate and flavorful, and the reds are full-​bodied – that’s not much of a detailed explanation, but words cannot describe the taste of these wines, you have to try it for yourself! Even wines I don’t generally enjoy were perfect at Bergdorf and I would happily drink any of them. I was also a fan of the Riesling, and the Gluwein is the best I have ever tasted – and I lived in Germany and have had plenty!
The people are great and very knowledgeable, and they should be, they do all the work themselves!
Their tasting room could do with some upgrades – larger counter for the masses of people wanting to get in, more tables for people to sit and sip Gluwein (I was pissed that I couldn’t just walk around town with a mug of it, in true German fashion!). And I wish they had more retailers around my area, I’d buy a bottle every week!
Overall, Bergdorf was absolutely the best winery in downtown Leavenworth. If you love wine, or even if you think you might enjoy wine, this is definitely the place to go!

Easily my favorite of all the Leavenworth tasting rooms we had stopped by.
The two lovely females working the corkscrew were both wine fanatics and it showed — in both their knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for each wine poured. Each of the wines brought their own tasty little nuance to the table, keeping my opinion on which wine to bring home fluttering.
My favorite — their Reisling. Such a wonderful tasting wine, without all the sugar that is all-​to-​common on most Reislings. At a mere 1% residual sugar, it left you with a clean finish that was preceded with a kiss of sweetness. Excellent.
But as for unique, nothing else tops the served-​warm Glühwein. This mulled wine brought me right into Christmas time, sitting by the fire, bundled up with a nice blanket and a loved one. Wine has always made me feel warm inside, but when the dose is served warm, the experience is even greater. Of course a bottle had to be brought home, most likely to be consumed right before hitting the slopes on a wintery day.
A great opportunity to try some exception wines — and also something exceptionally unique. Go for the Glühwein, stay for the knowledgeable hostesses.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Wines didn’t fit our taste but they had a hot spiced wine that wasn’t like others in the area. It was really good!
