The Experience
Before You Go
Dress for mist at the falls
Bring a lightweight waterproof layer—spray from Snoqualmie Falls can soak through thin clothes in minutes.
Pace your tastings
Sip slowly and ask for small pours to avoid palate burnout; alternate wine with water.
Bring layers
Woodinville tasting rooms can be cool; a light fleece or jacket keeps you comfortable between pours.
Leave room for purchases
