Wineries

Nestled in the beautiful Sammamish River Valley just 30 minutes northeast of Seattle, Woodinville Wine Country is home to over 90 wineries and tasting rooms representing every appellation in Washington state.

From the historic and beautiful grounds of Chateau Ste. Michelle to the quaint boutique wineries where you are likely to have the winemaker themselves pour you a glass of his or her finest blend, a wonderful variety of wine tasting experiences await you. Nearly all of the Woodinville wineries grow their grapes in the warm, arid climate of Eastern Washington's Columbia Valley where vineyards boast sandy, gravelly soils providing an ideal medium to plant vines. Protected from Seattle's marine climate by the Cascade Mountains, Columbia Valley vineyard temperatures consistently hover in the mid-80's during the summer. Come fall, warm days and cool nights protect the grapes' natural acidity and ripen the fruit to perfection.

The winemakers of Woodinville invite you to visit. Several tour companies provide group or private tours originating in Bellevue and including a range of experiences and and insights about Washington's wine industry. In addition, read more about the flourishing Woodinville wine industry in this article that was featured in the "Pacific Northwest Magazine" section of The Seattle Times.
