Had no idea that Washington had such a great wine country. Spent the day in the Downtown District. The passport for wine tastings was such an incredible deal ( 4 tastings for $45!). Lots of places to grab bites to eat and wonderful wine tasting. There are other districts to spend time in as well. Definitely recommend picking whichever district fits your day plans best and buying a tasting passport for that district!

Woodinville Wine Country is a great place for adults to taste wine and enjoy the beauty of the area!

Only got to visit three wineries during a "Waterfalls and Wineries" tour. There are many. Go! Enjoy! And remember - the stem has a purpose. Use it to hold the wine glass, PLEASE!

I'm a Woodinville resident - lived here over 20 years. If you are unfamiliar with the area and Washington wine-making you first need to understand that no production grapes are grown in Woodinville - they are picked and then trucked one or two hundred miles from the central part of the state. So, any idea of riding your bike through rolling hills of grape orchards - as is possible in most wine production areas - is not possible here. For the most part, the area is pretty well developed and most of the wineries are in non-de-script industrial parks. The city itself has a decent array of restaurants to choose from, but the city has not been able to get enough hotel space - you will definitely want to plan ahead for that. Reservations will be needed in most restaurants on the weekends. One of the underappreciated aspects of tasting in Woodinville is that there is now a mix of wineries and tasting rooms. The tasting rooms allow you to sample wine that is made and bottled where it is grown in other parts of the state and then brought over. It's a great way to try, for example, some of the interesting wines made in the Walla Walla area. It's a fun time, but with so many wineries (100+) in such a small area, it's good to do a little planning ahead of time and determine whether you are more interested in tasting or drinking. If the latter, there are several places in addition to the wineries and tasting rooms that serve food and flights and glasses of local wine.

Our weekend visit was a surprise.. We sampled some fantastic wines, and look forward to returning... Many winery outlets within a very small area makes for an easy wine tasting excursion.

Woodinville, Washington. Nearly 200 wineries showcasing their wines in 2 districts - the "Hollywood Schoolhouse" district and the "Warehouse" district. A growing number of distilleries and craft breweries. All this in an easy to "get around" location. A must see stop on a visit to the Seattle area.
