Woodinville: Wine & Cider Tasting
If you ever find yourself in Woodinville, WA you better stop off for some wine & cider tasting. Wine tasting in the Northwest is a rain-or-shine activity. Recently I ventured out to a couple of our favorite Woodinville spots and I thought I would do a quick roundup here.
There are so many places to visit, I just wanted to highlight a couple. Let me know if you visit any or have other winery suggestions to share!
Matthews Winery
6985, 16116 140TH PL NE, WOODINVILLE, WA 98072
Matthews Winery is a great place to hang out with friends and do a wine tasting or grab a glass to enjoy. The atmosphere is relaxing and the staff is friendly. The last couple of times we visited, we received a free tasting as we walked in the door to start us off. The Sauvignon Blanc, Rose, and Claret by Matthews are some of my favorites. The Tenor Sauvignon Blanc is worth a try as well!
Airfield Estates Winery
14450 REDMOND-WOODINVILLE RD NE, #109, WOODINVILLE, WA 98072
This tasting room is located in the Hollywood area of Woodinville. I normally don’t go for sweeter white wines, but their Moscato is the perfect amount of sweetness for me. It’s the perfect chilled summer white wine!
Milbrandt Vineyards
14450 REDMOND-WOODINVILLE RD NE, WOODINVILLE, WA 98072
This is a newer addition to the Hollywood winery area of Woodinville. The atmosphere is great and the staff is friendly and knowledgable. The Malbec and 2014 Northridge Syrah were both very enjoyable reds. You can also order food from the restaurant next door.
Goose Ridge Winery
14450 REDMOND-WOODINVILLE RD NE, WOODINVILLE, WA 98072
Not only does Goose Ridge have great wine, but they also have superb hard ciders too! You can do wine tastings or cider tastings. Their craft ciders are so refreshing and versatile, I highly recommend trying them! You can also do growler fills if you find one you really like. Goose Ridge also produces one of my favorite Chardonnays.
Don’t miss these too!
