When Ira and Susan Woodin headed up the Sammamish River in 1871, their dream was to build a cabin, log timber, and farm cattle along the river’s fertile banks. Woodinville, the town they founded, developed from a logging homestead to rich farmland and eventually a railroad hub to the East. As the Seattle metropolitan area grew, Woodinville became a popular suburb that today spurs a different kind of growth. While the vines that drive the growth of the Washington wine industry are firmly planted east of the Cascade Mountains in Washington’s many AVAs, Woodinville grows something equally important to the development of Washington wine. Here, interest and passion are piqued to grow into a love and appreciation for Washington wine. Half of Washington State’s 6.9 million people live within the Seattle, Tacoma, and Bellevue metro areas, making Woodinville perfectly positioned to bring Washington wine to Washingtonians.

Woodinville Washington’s Tasting Room

Winemaker Chris Gorman of Gorman Winery tasting his award-winning Chardonnay

Woodinville: Washington’s Tasting Room Woodinville has become a destination in its own right. Thirty minutes from Seattle, Woodinville has it all: cycling the Sammamish River Trail, enjoying a fantastic dinner at Russell’s Restaurant & Loft or The Herbfarm, or relaxing at one of the renowned summer concerts in the Chateau Ste. Michelle concert series.

It all started nearly forty years ago in 1976, when Chateau Ste. Michelle established Woodinville’s first connection to Washington wine. “It was genius, really. To do that forty years ago, a working winery that wasn’t located near its vineyards — it was new and it was remarkable,” says Ted Baseler, CEO of Chateau Ste. Michelle. “If you look at the Willamette Valley, it’s a short drive from Portland. The Napa Valley is forty-five minutes from San Francisco. Woodinville fits a very similar model.” The idea had its early detractors. “I think they thought that we’d

Woodinville wineries have produced seventy-five different wines that have scored ninety points or better by various wine publications.

see maybe fifty thousand visitors the first year and then it would dwindle, yet we see two to three hundred thousand guests each year,” continues Baseler. “Woodinville, like those other two American wine locations, really can serve as the doorway to Washington wine.” Chateau Ste Michelle began with the idea that Woodinville sets the stage to drive interest and appreciation for the wines and wine growing region of Washington. “I really believe that in time, they’ll get out there to experience the vineyards and see where the wine is coming from. I think of it this way: from Woodinville to Walla Walla.” Woodinville has seen tremendous growth in recent years. The state’s industry now boasts over eight hundred wineries, and Woodinville has grown from just a half dozen or so wineries in the 1990’s to more than one hundred wineries and tasting rooms today.

Created by photographer Richard Duval, this 26-foot mural is the focal point of Columbia Winery’s revamped tasting room.

In addition to the wines being produced here by Woodinville stalwarts like Brian Carter Cellars and DeLille Cellars, the rest of the state has come to Woodinville. Chad Johnson and Corey Braunel of Walla Walla’s Dusted Valley, have found that Woodinville has done a lot for both their brand recognition and relationships with Washington wine drinkers. “We opened our tasting room doors in Woodinville in 2009 and it quickly became an amazing way to expose our Estate wines from Walla Walla and our other Washington wines to a population that may have never ventured to our little town,” said Braunel. “Since then we’ve seen real, measurable growth from people who have discovered Dusted Valley in Woodinville and then taken the next step to visit us in Walla Walla.”

Follow the Grape With more than one hundred tasting rooms and wineries, Woodinville offers an opportunity to sample the array of wines that are being produced in the state. Wines coming from all of the state’s thirteen AVAs (American Viticultural Areas) are produced in Woodinville wineries or show up in Woodinville tasting rooms. In Woodinville it’s possible to “follow the grape” across so many of Washington’s different growing regions. The fruit from each region is unique, which results in varying examples of each wine. If you’re a Cabernet fan, Woodinville lets you tour the state’s great Cabernets without having to drive across the mountains. Cabernet from Red Mountain vineyards, like the powerful Cabernets grown at Ciel du Cheval or Klipsun Vineyards, can be found in wines from Betz Family Winery and Sparkman Cellars. If you fancy a Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet, Januik Winery has a wine from Champoux Vineyard that fits the bill.

Woodinville: Washington’s Tasting Room

Navigating Woodinville Wine Country Woodinville as a wine destination breaks out into four different districts: the West Valley District, the Hollywood District, the Warehouse District and the Downtown District. All four areas are close to one another but each has a distinct look and feel. The beauty of Woodinville and these four districts is that you can concentrate on one area at a time on any given visit, or hop from district to district looking for specific wineries.

UP CLOSE: Hollywood District The Hollywood District is home to over thirty wineries and tasting rooms and is where Woodinville visitors can taste the state of Washington. The Hollywood District is where Woodinville got its start with Chateau Ste. Michelle, the founding winery in both Woodinville and the state. It also illustrates the industry’s growth and variety as wineries from Prosser, Red Mountain, and Walla Walla (heck, even the Willamette Valley) have all set up shop in the Hollywood Hill area. The landmark Hollywood Schoolhouse anchors this district, which is loaded with tasting rooms, wineries, roundabouts and wonderful restaurants. Hollywood is also close to the West Valley District, a small district with three wineries and tasting rooms.

UP ClOSE: Warehouse District The Woodinville Warehouse District demonstrates how and where the entrepreneurial spirit of Washington wine lives and breathes. The wineries operating in the Warehouse District are largely production facilities where you can witness the processes of wine production as well as sample the final product in the wineries’ tasting rooms. It is the perfect incubator for up and coming wineries and home to some of Woodinville’s veterans, including Baer Winery. The warehouses of Woodinville offer visitors an opportunity to come into the workshops of the craftsmen and craftswomen of Washington wine. Sandwich board after sandwich board mark the way through the labyrinth of tasting rooms and production wineries. The Warehouse District is highly walkable and offers a wide range of wine styles within a few minutes of one another.

Chad and Corey of Dusted Valley sum it up best:

whites & rosés Summer Wines

and Sunshine By Sonja Groset

Hot summer days beg for cool, refreshing wines. Who are we kidding though? In the Pacific Northwest, any day above 65 degrees is an excuse to enjoy a crisp white wine or aromatic rosé. Forget what you know about Washington wines when approaching the whites and rosés at these suggested tasting rooms. You’ll find outstanding Grüner Veltliner, Rousanne, Semillon, and rosés made from Cinsault, Mouvedre, and Tempranillo, in addition to Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. These wines pair well with spicy Thai food, buttery shellfish, grilled fish, or just the sunset. In Woodinville’s Hollywood District, tasting rooms spread out from the traffic circle like spokes on a wheel. Pop into Sparkman Cellars for This Old Porch Rosé, made from a different blend of grapes every year—often including Malbec, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. Across the parking lot, DeLille Cellars is making more wine in one varietal than most others make in their entire portfolio. In this instance, however, being big doesn’t mean sacrificing quality. If available, grab a glass of Rousanne, made from grapes from the famed Ciel du Cheval vineyard on Red Mountain. After 20-plus years, winemaker Chris Upchurch knows the best Washington grapes and what to do with them. Other wineries are making Rousanne, but this might be my favorite.

Just down the road, Lauren Ashton Cellars is tucked into the back corner of a renovated old home. There’s a nice patio and garden outside the tasting room. Inside, taste the old-world style Chardonnay and off-dry rosé. They’ll make you feel more like you’re sitting at a sidewalk café in Provence than in the suburbs of Seattle. Owner and winemaker Kit Singh is busy balancing his dentistry business with his nascent winery. The road he’s taken to winemaking is a winding one, but we’re glad he landed in Woodinville. A quarter mile away, you’ll find Castillo de Feliciana, located in a cheery yellow house perched above the roadway. They’re offering one of the few sparkling wines in town, in addition to Albariño and a Rosé of Tempranillo. On weekends, food trucks are parked out front, the patio area has plenty of seating and there’s live music most Friday nights. Head across the valley and swing into the sleek and contemporary Novelty Hill Januik. The patio area includes plenty of seating and a popular bocce court. It’s the WOODINVILLEWINECOUNTRY.COM

perfect location to wind down with some of the excellent whites, including Rousanne, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier, that veteran winemaker Mike Januik makes year after year. Continue up the hill, where JM Cellars is located in a renovated mid-century modern home on a stunning property once belonging to two horticulturists. They nurtured the grounds for years, making it their own private arboretum nestled in the hills. Inside, look for Viognier, and Rosé of Mouvedre or Rosé of Cinsault. On the other side of town, the Warehouse District is home to dozens of wineries and tasting rooms. You can park once and taste hundreds of wines.

making a Rosé of Mouvedre, in addition to the Grüner at EFESTĒ, it’s a steep uphill climb to the tasting room, Sauvignon and 50% Syrah, in addition to a crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc, and a medium dry Riesling. And nearby is Gård Vintners, which gets its name from the Norwegian (as well as Danish and Swedish) word for “farm.” Scandinavians aren’t known for their winemaking, but their descendants are. The Lawrence family has been farming the Royal Slope in Washington’s Columbia Valley for nearly 50 years. They make Viognier, a Rosé of Grencache, and an ice wine from Riesling grapes harvested after the frost. Be sure to check out their Freyja blend, named for the Norse goddess. It’s a blend of Viognier, Roussanne and Pinot Gris. There is no right or wrong answer to the question, “What’s your favorite winery in Woodinville?” There’s something for everyone, whether you want a respite from the rain or sun (most likely the former), or you’re looking for a wine to bring home, or to crack open after a long ride or walk on the nearby river trail.

for instance, you’re likely to find Cabernet Sauvignon both solo and in blends, not to mention different vineyard-specific bottlings to sample those geographic influences. Of course, each Cabernet Sauvignon wine has its own distinct character and personality, but some of the more common flavor attributes of the grape include black currant and other dark fruits, warm spices, hints of coffee or chocolate, light floral tones and small doses of cedar. These wines tend to be rich in color and aroma, with good acid balance and moderate to lush tannins. Among the AVAs you’ll be able to sample as you follow that Cabernet Sauvignon grape through Woodinville are Horse Heaven Hills, Red Mountain, Wahluke Slope, Walla Walla Valley, Yakima Valley and Columbia Valley. Stylistically, you’ll find the grape bouncing between old and new world influences, with a range of oak treatments (French and American, new and old) and reflecting the experiences of dozens of talented winemakers. All of which ensures that your tour will be a most intriguing and delicious one.

On a typical Friday night in Woodinville, the inviting sounds of live music waft through lounges and tasting rooms from one end of town to the other. At Village Wines in the Hollywood District, a buoyant, multigenerational crowd is buzzing with conversation when 24-yearold singer-guitarist Robbie Christmas opens his set with a stirring version of Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl.” People take notice, and soon they’re making requests. “I’ll play any song as long as it isn’t Christmas music,” he says with a grin. Christmas (yes, that’s his real name) is engaging, edgy, and fun, offering classic songs by the Eagles, Eric Clapton, Coldplay, James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, and other iconic artists. Pairing live music with wine has become increasingly popular in Woodinville, home to more than 100 wineries and tasting rooms. “All the wineries in our complex have featured music in the last two months,” Tim Bowen of Village Wines notes cheerfully. “I believe that live music offerings will just continue to grow.” At nearby Columbia Winery, singer-songwriter Carly Calbero performs a spirited version of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues,” as well as an original song from one of her EPs. Down the street at Fireside, the plush bar at Willows Lodge, acoustic folk band Side Project plays James Taylor’s dreamy, nostalgic “Copperline.” And Mairin & Friends, who mix rock, blues, R&B and jazz, play to a large crowd as part of the “Friday Night Live” series at Matthews Winery. In the fall of 2010, Matthews Winery was among the first to book live music during extended tasting room hours, with light fare provided by food trucks. “The idea was that people would stop by after work or after dinner to enjoy some live music and a glass of wine without going through the tasting lineup,” says Diane Otis at Matthews. “We thought if we extended our hours a little longer, we might capture more people.”

Woodinville is also home to bucolic Bear Creek Studio, where the Lumineers, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Brandi Carlile, James Brown, Eric Clapton, and many others have recorded. Long before there was a recording studio or wineries with live music, Woodinville made Northwest music history with the raucous Seattle Pop Festival in July of 1969. It’s hard to believe, but the lineup at Gold Creek Park featured such now-legendary acts as Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Byrds, Chuck Berry, It’s a Beautiful Day, Santana, Ike & Tina Turner, Tim Buckley, The Youngbloods, Chicago Transit Authority, and others. Local residents complained about traffic and the festival’s “hippie atmosphere.” But the event spurred a lifetime of memories. It was years before major concerts returned to Woodinville. Chateau Ste.

The intimate February-April series featured such performers as Naomi Wachira, EntreMundos, Tim Wilson and Bradford Lewis, Big Sur, and acoustic folk trio Hannalee. In addition, a number of festivals and special events offer an abundance of music in the warmer months. The 2014 Celebrate Woodinville Summer Event Series at Wilmot Gateway Park includes a Fourth of July celebration and Wednesday evening concerts July 16, July 23, July 30 and August 6, as well as the second annual Woodinville Festival on August 16. Each event features live music, local wineries, breweries, restaurants and food trucks. The Tastes and Tunes Warehouse Summer Kickoff, featuring wine and food tasting and a lineup of local jazz artists, is July 26 in the Warehouse District. The Hollywood Block Party, an end-of-summer event showcasing local cuisine and wines, is September 19. The event includes small bites, wine tasting at more than a dozen wineries, and live entertainment.

SUSTAINABLE WOODINVILLE

The Green Vine Growing up in the suburbs as a daughter of sheep herders and saddlemakers who moved their gardens to the city after World War II, I learned to love good, homemade food from my family, but didn’t see a farmers market until I discovered Pike Place Market in the late 1970s. Since then, an epic shift has transformed many in our culture into “foodies” with the mantra “where does our food come from?” Later to the party is the wine world, where the focus for decades has been vintage and grape variety before the French concepts of “terroir” and vineyard origin changed the way Americans look at wine. Over a decade ago, we started to see a few labeling and certifications—organic, made with organic grapes, biodynamic, “Salmon-Safe”—on wine labels. But as a new wine lover, I was confused—as many wine lovers may be—about what all this meant. I found, for instance, that Certified Salmon-Safe, just one of the many sustainable labeling certifications, means the vineyard has been inspected by a third party to confirm they follow Salmon-Safe practices, i.e., protecting and restoring salmon habitat by planting trees on streams, growing cover crops to control run-off and applying natural methods to control weeds and pests. This is why I wrote “The Green Vine: A Guide to West Coast Sustainable, Organic and Biodynamic Wine,” (Mountaineers, 2013), to find and feature wineries with a dedication to sustainable practices, whether it be to organic or biodynamic farming, energy conservation, or raptor, owl, or salmon habitat restoration.

The main thing to keep in mind when choosing sustainable wines is that not every wine from a winery will be produced the same way. Most Washington wineries source grapes from several different vineyards. Some, such as Abeja, Amavi, Chateau Ste. Michelle, Novelty Hill Januik, Pepper Bridge, and DeLille Cellars, have estate vineyards or manage the way the grapes they source are grown. A winery may have one Salmon-Safe wine, another LIVE certified wine and a third with no certification at all. This doesn’t necessarily mean the non-certified wine is not grown sustainably; a farmer may grow without chemicals, but choose not to get certified. This is why we should all learn more and ask questions. If you find wines you like, find out more by talking to winemakers and researching them online. Just like organic labels on food, these certifications offer a starting place.

This exciting direction in Woodinville challenges winemakers and winegrowers, farmers and chefs, builders and engineers, to actively forge a path that will ensure this community and others like it will thrive—and enjoy great wine—well into the future.

Sip in Woodinville.

Stay in Bothell. Picture this: you’ve just polished off your last tasting

and regional art. Packages offer a night of lodging, a

of the day, a 2012 Wild Eye Syrah from the Mark

dining discount at Russell’s, and savings at Seattle and

Ryan Winery in Woodinville. It’s been a full afternoon

North Bend Premium Outlets.

exploring some of the more than 100 area wineries, but it feels like you’ve just scratched the surface. Your friends are excitedly swapping notes on their favorite finds of the day, strategizing on how to squeeze in another tasting room. “Don’t forget, we have tomorrow,” someone reminds the group. You smile to yourself, relishing the fact that you’re away for the weekend—and it isn’t even halfway over yet. Getaways like this are the kind we remember and savor. The kind we need more of, if only they were easier to plan, more convenient and affordable. Bothell’s Sip and Stay packages are an effortless option for couples or groups who want to make a weekend out of wine tasting. Go at a leisurely pace and stay for the night just minutes away in the charms of Bothell. Sip and Stay packages include complimentary tasting for two at over a dozen Woodinville wineries, a night of lodging at one of eight nationally-branded hotels in Bothell and a dining discount at Russell’s, one of wine country’s culinary gems. Located in a delightfully restored barn, Russell’s specializes in Northwest cuisine perfectly crafted by Chef Russell Lowell.

While you’re in town, check out Bothell’s many natural gems as well. Go two-wheeling on the Sammamish River Trail, paddleboard from the Park at Bothell Landing, take a leisurely stroll through the antique shops of Country Village. Then end your busy day with a visit to one of the local distilleries for a spirits tasting, which is quickly becoming Washington’s new tasting adventure. Come fall 2014, you might find yourself rounding out the day at Beardslee Alehouse & Wildwood Spirits. Celebrated Seattle chef and proprietor John Howie will open this new, highly anticipated alehouse and distillery located in The Village at Beardslee Crossing in Bothell. Expect a local “farm to table” philosophy with a menu featuring homemade comfort food, including burgers, brats and flatbreads along with a dozen craft brews. Whatever your vacation pleasure, Bothell offers an easy to get to escape with unique and affordable packages that make it convenient to enjoy the beauty of Woodinville Wine Country, the retail offerings of boutique stores and so much more.

So come, sip, shop… and stay awhile.
