FAQ
About Flight Wines
How will the wine tasting work at Flight?
We have two tiers of flights (a series of 1-2 oz. pours, generally ranging from bubbles and whites to reds), based on the price point of each bottle. The First Class flight will feature more exclusive and small production wines and will usually begin with Champagne, while the Business Class flight will highlight excellent wines at exceptional values. Occasionally we will have limited-run International or Specialty Flights. All of our wines are available by the glass. Check out the ‘Menus’ tab for more details.
Do you sell wines by the bottle too?
Yes! If you enjoyed a particular wine from a flight or glass pour, you can take a bottle home with you to share with others. Bottle pricing is in the ‘Menus’ tab.
How do I store the wine from my Frequent Flyers allocation?
Ideally, store your wine horizontally in a cool, dry place, at approximately 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Try your best to protect it from light and vibration, and keep the humidity around 60-68 percent. A wine fridge can help keep the wine happy if you don’t have an ideal place to store wine in your home.
Do we need a reservation to wine taste?
Flight Wine + Chocolate accepts reservations. To reserve, please contact us at info@flightwineandchocolate.com or (206) 712-6919. Walk-ins are welcome, too, based on staffing and tasting room capacity. For parties of six or more a credit card hold of $10 per person is required - click the ‘Book Now’ button on the main page to make a reservation.
We are open Thursday & Friday 3pm - 8pm, Saturday 1pm - 8pm, and Sunday 1pm - 7pm. Last tasting reservation starts 90 minutes prior to close.
Reservations are not required for chocolate, merchandise, gift card or wine bottle sales.
About Flight Chocolate
Will all of your dark chocolates be paired with wines?
While we will offer our suggestions as to what we feel pairs well, the dark chocolate line is designed to stand alone. Enjoy a chocolate in the comfort of the Flight Lounge for a quick treat, a flight of chocolate to taste the whole lineup, or purchase a special selection to take home with you. Flight chocolates are handmade in house, and make a fantastic gourmet gift.
How long will the chocolates last?
The filled and hand dipped chocolates are best consumed within 5 weeks for best flavor and texture, while the bars and bark strips are good for at least a year. There is a “Best By” date on the entire Flight chocolate line.
How should I store the chocolates?
A cool, dry place is best. Keep the chocolates out of the fridge, as that can cause some issues. Think cool cupboard… The best bet is to eat them quickly. We will make more!
Do you ship chocolates?
No, not at this time. We have a very small production and typically sell out of what we make. As we grow and expand we might start to ship, so keep an eye on this site for updates.
