A Fun Weekend In Woodinville

For the second year in a row, we went to the"Passport To Woodinville" , an event featuring about 50 wineries spread around the city of Woodinville, Washington. The Wineries who participate offer tasting of their product, and sometimes also food and entertainment.
This year we stayed at the Willows Lodge, across the street from Chateau St.Michelle. From the above picture, you can see the Hollywood Schoolhouse from our room.

An Afternoon Of Wine In Woodinville

Last Sunday we went with the Wagners to the Passport To Woodinville Festival. It was a chance to visit and sample wine from 20 or 30 odd tasting rooms. Everyone purchased a ticket which looked like a standard passport, along a wine glass. All the wineries had water so that people could wash out their glass between tastings. The wineries are clumped close together in the industrial area of Woodinville, a suburb northeast of Seattle. We did not go to Woodinville's signature winery Chateau St Michelle because you could go there anytime I think our favorite was Covington Cellars, which was the first place that where we tasted. All of the establishments served food along with their wine offerings.
