Areas in Woodinville

  • Warehouse District

    No-frills tasting rooms inside working wineries, packed close together on the hill above Highway 522. Whoever pours is often the winemaker.

  • West Valley District

    A smaller group of wineries and distilleries on the west bank of the Sammamish River, with a slower pace and more open space.

  • Downtown District

    Start or end your day here, with tasting rooms, restaurants and shops near the town center.

Know before you go

Reservations
Booking is recommended at some tasting rooms even where walk-ins are welcome. Group limits vary, so call ahead with a larger party.
Tasting fees
A minimum wine purchase gets the fee waived at some tasting rooms.
Getting there
Drive in on Interstate 405, Highway 522 or Highway 520.
Best time to visit
Harvest, generally early September to late October, is a good time to visit, as grapes arrive from vineyards east of the Cascades and the cellars are at their busiest.
Getting around
Most districts are walkable: park once and explore one on foot. Plan a designated driver, a rideshare or a tour.

Wineries host live music, release events, food pairings and holiday celebrations.
