Woodinville, from logging town to a must visit destination

The Woodinville area developed as a farming and logging community along the Sammamish River Valley in the 1880s. Its natural wooded landscape and surroundings made it an inviting area for wineries to develop. Its first winery, Chateau Ste Michelle, opened up in 1976, followed by Columbia Winery in 1988, just right across the street. Today, Woodinville has over 50 wineries that offer such delights for all the senses, ranging from quaint tasting rooms to large estate wineries with breathtaking views and beautiful Northwest decor.

Woodinville is more than just the great wineries, it is also home to many award winning restaurants & hotels. The Herbfarm, awarded AAA 5 star restaurant for the past eight years and Willows Lodge, a wonderful boutique hotel, are both in the heart of wine country. Finally, what put Woodinville on the map back when it opened in 1956 was the iconic nursery, Molbak’s. This nursery is nationally and internationally known as a leader and award winner in their industry. Additionally, an innovative, festive, and unique shopping destination brings in over a million visitors to Woodinville each year.

Woodinville Wine Country is less than 20 miles and 30 minutes away from downtown Seattle and less than 13 miles and 20 minutes away from downtown Bellevue.

Come out and see why Woodinville’s rich history is only the beginning to a lifetime of memories that can be created. Woodinville, it’s a great place to have a girls weekend, romantic getaway or wedding. It’s right in your backyard!
