10 Wine Tours & Tastings in Seattle That You Shouldn't Miss

May 4, 2022 Brandee Mangan

In Seattle you simply can’t skip the Central Public Library – a modern architectural marvel of glass grids, unusual shapes, and a “book spiral” that climbs four stories. Stroll over to Pike Place Market to visit the original Starbucks and play catch with a fishmonger. In the heart of the city lies Chihuly Garden and Glass, which will dazzle you with its colorful and delicate works. Glide to the top of the Space Needle for panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and Puget Sound.

I live in downtown seattle and decided to do something during pandemic since the US border is close. Michael made sure nobody feels left out from the group. He gave great suggestions on where to eat while we are at La Conner. Got some nifty stuff from Nasty Jack’s Antique store. Spectacular views of tulip fields with Mt. Baker on the background. I recommend to also do the Olympic and Mt. Rainier national parks tour because Michael drives safe and great tour guide.

Combine the best the Northwest has to offer in this all-inclusive full-day adventure: a beautiful hike in the National Park with big views of Mt. Rainier, an organic picnic lunch outside, and wine tastings at beloved wineries in the Yakima Valley! At the height of summer, Mount Rainier's flower-flanked trails provide the relaxation, fresh air, and peace that only comes with a walk in a quiet, wild place. Our TripAdvisor "Hall of Fame" guides run the only day tours permitted to explore more than a mile from the park road as the National Park is ecologically important & delicate. The U.S. Park Service restricts other tour companies to "road tours." We're lovely & professional nature educators (not bus drivers) that have dedicated their lives to artful travel. Our all-inclusive small group day trip is limited to just 10 travelers. Sleep in a little - we'll bring coffee, bakery, fruit, and tea. We’ll bring snacks, water and sparkling water for the day. Don’t worry about a thing!

By far the best purchase I made during my trip to Seattle! This guided tour exceeded my expectations. You get to see a lot of the park without worrying about any of the logistics. The food was yummy and vegetarian friendly (which was a nice surprise!). The tour guide was a fantastic story teller and receptive to the requests and wants of the group, tailoring the experience to us. What's also great is you actually get out to do mini hikes vs just driving to a scenic view, snapping a pic, and moving on. The snow shoeing was a bonus! 11 out of 10 would recommend for the nature lovers out there :)

10. Wine Tasting, Vineyards in Eastern WA from Seattle

Cheryl's Northwest Tours

Wine Tasting, in the vineyards. Head over the mountains into Eastern Washington, leaving the rainy coastal climate of Seattle for the sun-drenched desert hills of the Yakima and Columbia valleys. You'll see lush evergreen forests and semi-arid sagebrush on this interesting travel route to the wine country. Your guide will pick you up at your agreed upon location and heads east toward the Cascades. Visit both the Yakima Valley and Columbia Valley AVAs throughout the day, stopping at several different wine making estates. Sample wines from each, noting the differences imbued in each glass by the area's distinctive features, from soil and terrain to sun exposure and rainfall. Take a vineyard tour to roam among leafy rows of grape vines, and go behind the scenes at a winery to learn about the techniques and processes behind wine making in Washington. Stop along the way to complement your tastings with a tasty lunch,

Inclusions: Lunch, Wine tasting at 3 wineries in their vineyard locations , Comfortable travel in our clean company SUV.

Exclusions: Gratuity, recommended

We've travel to other countries and the U.S., always found the trips to be more enjoyable with a local driver/guide. Large groups on tour busses suck. With Cheryl, we were treated like family, (the ones she loves). I highly recommend booking her services which will lead to a wonderful, memorable experience. We still keep in touch with her 3 years later from our home in Florida.
