Tour Options
Itinerary
The first stop will be at a larger flagship winery to start the day off big. You'll enjoy a tasting of 4-6 wines, and maybe some bubbly as well. (Despite Viator's auto setting that admission is free, the tasting fee is extra. Plan on $40 per person for this stop, unless you purchase wine.)
The second stop will be at a smaller winery/tasting room, where you can purchase lunch to enjoy while tasting. (Despite Viator's auto setting that admission is free, budget $20-30 for lunch and $20-25 for the tasting fee. If you buy wine, some or all of the tasting fee will be waived.)
The third and fourth stops will be at boutique wineries/tasting rooms. These locations are small, delightful and family owned. (Despite Viator's auto setting that admission is free, tasting fees are extra, budget $20-30 per person for each winery. Again, if purchasing wine, all or part of the fee will be waived.) Then it's time to head back to your lodging location...

Rudy was an awesome tour guide. Very informative, friendly and a great communicator. We made some special requests and he was able to accommodate them and ensure everyone had a great time. This is a tour we highly recommend.
Michael was a gracious and lovely guide. He picked us up as promised on time in a lovely passenger vehicle. We spent the day with one other couple we met on the trip. We had a fabulous time and would recommend to anyone who loves wine tasting.
Our tour guide, Michael, was incredibly knowledgeable and did a wonderful job curating our visit to match our tastes and interests.
For us, it was too much alcohol too quickly. The tour included 4 establishments. They were lovely, but there were so many pours at each establishment that we had to cancel at the third and fourth establishment. The tour operator, Rudy, was very nice and understanding. I appreciate him very much. This just wasn't for us.
Ann, Thanks for your comments, very helpful. It's a bit challenging trying to predict how much wine guests wish to sample. After many years running wine tasting tours we have pretty much settled on 4 with #2 being a lunch break to help manage the flow of wine. As 1 winemaker suggests, for every 8 ounces of wine, drink 8 ounces of water to stay hydrated and balanced. We are sorry you had to cancel the last 2 tastings but happy Rudy was very accommodating. For future reference guests may share their tastings with their tasting companion to reduce the alcohol consumption. Best Regards
The guide was very nice and informative
Thank you for the kind words...we are proud of our guides' work!
Thoroughly enjoyed our wine tasting throughout the lovely Woodinville area. Michael was so friendly and knowledgeable. So appreciate him doing the tour for just 2 of us!
We are delighted that you had an enjoyable tour! See you again, soon!
Fantastic experience, knowledge and wine.
We were delighted to have you with us, and thank you for the kind words.
Michael was a great tour guide, wonderful day of art and wine!
Art and Wine, it does sound like a perfect pairing, doesn't it? We're so happy you enjoyed the day.
We had a good wine tasting experience with Michael. He was very knowledgeable about the Washington wine regions. The company was easy to work with. When I booked the tour I expressed an interest in going to St Michelle winery. They realized the winery was closed on the original date of my tour, so they reached out to work with me to reschedule our wine tour. Michael didn't rush us thru the tastings or our picture taking. He keep the other wineries updated on our schedule, so they were ready when we arrived.
Thank you for the kind words, we were quite happy to work with you to create the exact tour you wanted.
This was an amazing and delightful wine tasting! Mike is so knowledgeable and personanable. Definitely a 10/10. Thank you for a memorable day! Cheers!
Thank you for choosing Bon Vivant for your wine tasting adventure. And especially your kind words about the wine tour guide.
