Description
Embark on a delightful wine-tasting adventure through Washington's acclaimed estate wineries. Your journey begins as you traverse Seattle's iconic Evergreen Point Bridge, the world's second-longest floating bridge, offering breathtaking views over Lake Washington. Arriving in the charming town of Woodinville, just a short drive from Seattle, you'll discover why Washington ranks as the second-largest wine producer in the U.S., consistently crafting top-scoring wines.
Woodinville, home to over 130 wineries, has become a haven for those seeking an intimate tasting experience. Despite the vineyards being located three hours away in Eastern Washington, this tour brings you closer to a diverse array of wines from small, family-owned, estate-boutique wineries. Immerse yourself in their stories, passions, and journeys, savoring reds, whites, and blends while learning to identify nuanced tasting notes. You will have the opportunity to sample wines at up to three wineries occasionally including the famous Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery.
As you journey towards Snoqualmie Falls, take in the lush Northwest scenery, with views of the Cascade mountains, seasonal flower farms, fruit stands, and the flowing Snoqualmie River. Along the way, you'll pass historical landmarks and might even spot some wildlife. When you arrive at Snoqualmie Falls, a breathtaking 270-foot waterfall, you can capture stunning photos from the upper or lower observation decks, explore beautiful gardens and trails, and visit a charming gift shop for souvenirs.
If time permits, your guide may treat you to a sweet indulgence with a quick stop at Boehm's Chocolate Factory. Here, you can enjoy frozen bananas or ice cream dipped in their delightful chocolate, all tucked away in their charming gift shop.
Tasting fees ($25-$35 average) are not covered by the cost of the tour, but are often waived with a minimum purchase.
