World of wines Western Washington, even in agricultural areas like the Valley, is not grapegrowing country. That doesn’t stop us from having an abundance of wineries to enjoy, though. Up and down the Valley, small and boutique wineries have cropped up, many with their own tasting rooms. Few, though, have the style of Sigillo Cellars in Snoqualmie and Piccola Cellars in North Bend. Both wineries are distinctive. Sigillo’s tasting room on Railroad Avenue is in the stately Mignone building, and serves award-winning wines made just a few blocks away. Piccola has been capitalizing on its location, the former North Bend Fire Station, by opening up the engine doors and letting the sun shine in on warm days, while staff serves wine on tap from the Woodinville winery.

Sample Sigillo wines for a tasting fee, or sip them by the glass, flight or bottle. Buy an empty bottle, or growler, at Piccola and have it filled with your
choice from the menu. Or, grab a tote, ideal for outdoor adventures. Sigillo: http://www.sigillocellars.com/ Piccola: http://piccolawine.com.
