White Heron Cellars’ downtown Seattle outpost is a charming, tucked‐away tasting room located in Pike Place Market’s “DownUnder,” perched above the waterfront with sweeping views of Elliott Bay and the Seattle Great Wheel. Hidden down a flight of stairs, the intimate space offers a cozy bar where visitors can enjoy flights of estate wines—including rare Central European varietals like Swiss Amigne, Arvine and crisp dry Rieslings—while chatting with founders Cameron and Phyllis Fries. Both owners trained in Switzerland, and their vintages reflect that Old World influence, paired on-site with artisanal Washington‑sourced bites such as cheese, cured meats, smoked fish, and chocolates. It's a delightful blend of warm hospitality, unique wine selections, and picturesque views—perfect for both locals and visitors seeking a memorable tasting experience in the heart of the city.
