Know before you go

Reservations
Most tasting rooms take walk-ins, but some smaller ones fill up, so call ahead on weekends or with a larger group.
Tasting fees
Fees are usually modest and often waived when you buy a bottle.
Getting there
Interstate 5 runs through Vancouver, about 3 hours from Seattle. Portland's airport is about 15 minutes away, and there's a train station near downtown.
Best time to visit
Visit in the warmer months if you want to sit outside: some tasting rooms have outdoor seating, and tastings move indoors in cooler weather.
Getting around
On the waterfront, park once and walk between tasting rooms. Plan a designated driver, a rideshare or a tour.

Wineries here host live music and other events, and the regional winery association sponsors joint weekend events each year.
