Great Time to Visit Wine Country in Woodinville

Wine country is a lot closer than you think. Woodinville has been on the map for a while with Ste. Michelle and Columbia but in the past few years it has exploded in popularity and is now a major tourist destination. Washington is the 2nd largest wine producer in the country with more than 800 wineries. Over 100 are represented in Woodinville! The Woodinville wineries have more 90+ rated vintages than any wine region in the world! When I was a kid my parents loved to take us to Ste. Michelle for the tour and we would have lunch on the lawns. As an adult I have enjoyed many concerts at the winery. This time of year the fall colors are beyond their peak but there are still some trees with foliage. Think about picking up a special bottle of wine for Thanksgiving dinner.
