Woodinville

Head to the Hollywood District to visit Washington’s oldest winery, Chateau Ste. Michelle (14111 NE 145th St), where you can taste by the glass or buy a bottle to enjoy with a charcuterie board on the sprawling grounds. Find your new favorite vintage with a tasting at chic, family-friendly Novelty Hill (14710 Woodinville-Redmond Rd NE), or even play a game of bocce ball. If spirits are what you’re after, head to Woodinville Whiskey Co. (14509 Woodinville-Redmond Rd NE) for a taste of its house-made bourbon. Fuel up with a burger or sandwich at Hollywood Tavern (14508 Woodinville-Redmond Rd NE)—don’t miss the Tavern Club sandwich stuffed with house-made Cajun potato chips—or pizza alfresco at Vivi Pizzeria (14505 148th Ave NE). For elevated Pacific Northwest fare, make a reservation for a nine-course seasonal dinner at The Herbfarm (14590 NE 145th St), where the on-site garden grows produce and herbs enjoyed at every meal.

Browse the artisan crafts at the Woodinville Farmers Market in downtown Woodinville.

In the Schoolhouse District, visit a restored historic schoolhouse for a unique dining experience at Jackson House, Ballard Pizza Co, and more. Head to the Warehouse District to visit Prohibition Cellars, or enjoy a stroll along the Wood Trails, which seamlessly connect the Warehouse District with the West Wellington neighborhood.

Woodinville hosts a full calendar of activities and festivals throughout the year—listen to local bands play at downtown tasting rooms, or get in on the excitement at a crush event or wine walk. Stop by JB Family Growers for seasonal fun from fields of lavender to a pumpkin farm and corn maze. After filling your day with outings, spend a few hours at the Spa at Willows Lodge (14580 NE 145th St)—if you’re on a romantic wine weekend, relax with a couple’s massage or facial. Get outdoors and rent bikes with Woodinville Bicycle (13210 NE 175th St) and cycle the 11-mile Sammamish River Trail (17301 131st Ave NE). Switch up your perspective by taking to the skies with Over the Rainbow (16509 140th Pl NE), where you’ll experience a unique view of the Seattle skyline and the foothills of the Cascade Range on a soaring hot air balloon ride.
