]]> Woodinville is a truly unique wine touring destination as its tasting rooms and wineries (more than 90) represent wine regions from all over Washington State. No where else will you be able to taste wines from Columbia Valley, Yakima Valley, Walla Walla, Red Mountain and beyond. Woodinville is also home to the state’s largest winery and the country’s largest wine company.

Overall Washington State wines garner more highly rated wines percentage wise than California wines do.  This area is flush with 90+ wines. Scores have been the hot topic in recent weeks with esteemed wine writers on both the local and national level tackling the subject. See what a few have to say here:

Score! – Paul Gregutt, PaulGregutt.com

Remaking the Grade – Lettie Teague, The Wall Street Journal

Take the opportunity to taste many of  these high scoring wines at Woodinville RESERVE, a new, exclusive tasting event featuring 90+ rated wines (from major wine publications including Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine & Spirits and more) and limited bottlings from 40 Woodinville wineries.
