If you love excellent wine and fresh local produce, expect a treat when you come to this scenic town set amid beautiful countryside.

Lovers of the finer things in life flock to Woodinville to tour its famous wineries and sample tasty produce from its local farms. Come here for a truly relaxing getaway. The gorgeous countryside provides access to a wide array of outdoor activities to complement its great food and drink.

Discover the highest concentration of wineries north of Seattle, with well over 100 located in or around Woodinville. Tour their facilities and taste their wares as you enjoy the scenery of this picturesque part of the world.

The first stop for many visitors to Woodinville is the Chateau Ste. Michelle winery. Fall in love with the vintage charm of this gorgeous building the second you step out of your car. It was established in 1912. The current building was erected in 1976. Wander its elegant grounds and high-ceilinged rooms and you might think it is a relic of an earlier time. Sample delicious wine and cheese and browse the shop for your favourites to take away with you. In the summer months, try to catch one of the concerts hosted at this lovely venue.

For a change from wine, visit one of the local breweries such as Redhook Brewery & Forecasters Pub or a distillery such as Woodinville Whisky Company. Enjoy excellent food as well at a restaurant such as The Herbfarm, which serves produce grown locally on its own dedicated farms.

Make time to get active. The Sammamish River and its surroundings offer ideal environments for horseback riding, climbing, kayaking, hiking and much more. If you need a recovery day, soothe aching muscles with a luxury treatment at the Spa at Willows Lodge.

Part of Woodinville’s great appeal is its proximity to Seattle. Drive from the big city to this lovely town in less than 30 minutes. Find out for yourself how the area’s perfect conditions for grape-growing have made Woodinville into the thriving wine hub it is today.
