About this city
Also known as: Seattle's Wine Country
Woodinville is an upscale valley city located along the Sammamish River in King County, Washington, celebrated as the premier urban wine country of the Puget Sound region. Settled in the late 19th century as a quiet timber and dairy farming valley, the city's trajectory shifted in 1976 when Chateau Ste. Michelle established its grand French-style estate here. Today, Woodinville hosts over 130 world-class wineries, microbreweries, and artisan distilleries, combining dense corporate tech affluence with a lush, rural tasting experience.
