Woodinville Wine Tour by Private Van: Book 5 Hours, Get the 6th Hour Free
The easiest way for a group to spend a day in Washington wine country, with nobody behind the wheel.
Woodinville is Washington's best-known wine town close to Seattle. It is about 35–45 minutes from downtown, and it has well over 100 wineries and tasting rooms, many of them a few minutes apart. It is the perfect day out for birthdays, bachelorette parties, team outings and friends visiting from out of town.
Why a private van for a wine tour?
- Nobody has to drive. Everyone in the group can taste.
- The whole group rides together. No meeting points, no lost cars, no one left behind.
- Door to door. We pick you up at your home or Seattle hotel and drop you at each tasting room door.
- Room for your wine. Bought a few cases? They ride in the back.
- Your schedule. Stay longer where you like it, skip a stop, add a lunch.
The four wine areas of Woodinville
- Hollywood District: the classic stop, with large estate wineries, gardens and many tasting rooms near each other.
- Warehouse District: dozens of small, family-run tasting rooms in a business park. Great for trying many styles in one place.
- West Valley: tasting rooms along the Sammamish River valley, a short drive from the Hollywood District.
- Downtown Woodinville: newer tasting rooms near restaurants and shops.

Tips for a great wine day
- Book tastings ahead, especially on Friday and Saturday. Many wineries need a reservation for groups.
- Plan for tasting fees. Most wineries charge for a tasting, and many waive it if you buy a bottle.
- Eat a real lunch and drink plenty of water.
- Three or four wineries is the right number for most groups.
