The Experience

Before You Go

Call to confirm pickup time

This operator requires direct confirmation of your pickup and start time—call the supplier the day before to avoid delays.

Bring valid ID

Washington law requires ID for tastings—carry a government-issued ID or passport if you’re an international guest.

Layer for variable weather

Expect wind at the falls and cooler temps than Woodinville; a light waterproof layer keeps you comfortable.

Hydrate and pace tastings

Drink water between flights, eat before or during the tour, and consider spitting if you’ll be driving after the tour.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Woodinville Warehouse District tasting rooms cluster for walking between producers
  • Small farm stands and flower fields near Carnation for seasonal produce and photos

Wildlife

  • Bald eagle
  • Black-tailed deer

Conservation Note

Wineries in the region increasingly use sustainable farming and water-conserving practices; visitors are encouraged to stay on paths, limit single-use plastics, and respect private property.

The Snoqualmie Valley was long inhabited by Indigenous peoples; later dairy farms including Carnation shaped the agricultural landscape alongside the rise of Washington’s wine industry.
