Woodinville

Woodinville is blessed with ideal conditions for cultivating the finest grapes and a variety of produce. This burgeoning city is where you’ll find some of Washington State’s best wines and an excellent selection of farm-to-table restaurants. The opening of Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery (the oldest winery in the state) on the old grounds of the Stinson Manor was the impetus for a population boom that continues well to this day.

But make no mistake, Woodinville is more than just wine tasting and eating well. It’s a terrific place to settle down, raise a family, start fresh, or get to know new people. Well-kept neighborhoods and fairly large lots give residents plenty of space for their desired lifestyle. Plus, families with kids will appreciate the family-friendly attractions throughout the city, as well as the excellent school options in the Northshore School District.
