Things To Do
Copious Wine Tasting Opportunities!
There are many great wineries to visit in Woodinville for tastings, lunch, and more! Some of our favorites in the area include: DeLille (obviously, since we're getting married there), Columbia, JM Cellars, Adams Bench, Long Shadows, and Col Solare (at Chateau Ste. Michelle). Note that most require reservations due to covid safety precautions
The Commons
We love this place! It has amazing breakfast, lunch and dinner. One of our favorite things to do when we visit Woodinville is to indulge in a bourbon milkshake here
The Hollywood Tavern
Great place to stop for lunch or dinner. They have the world's most incredible fire pit and are a great place to just relax outside while you have something to eat. They are also very conveniently located next to Woodinville Whiskey Co which is a fantastic place to try some local, small batch liquor.
Snoqualmie Falls
Who killed Laura Palmer? If you've ever wondered the answer to this question, then you should visit these beautiful water falls and all the other Twin Peaks locations in that area! If you have no idea what we're talking about, then you should still visit this waterfall because it is breath taking. The Salish Lodge & Spa (aka the Great Northern Hotel) sits right on top of the falls. Besides being another great Twin Peaks spot, they have good food and massages and stuff.
Flatstick Pub | Kirkland
A great indoor pub and mini golf course. Be warned - this might be the toughest mini golf course out there! But it's a ton of fun and the bar has excellent local beer options. Groupon will often have a good deal for this place
Bellevue Botanical Gardens
Enjoy a relaxing walk among beautiful plants!
Purple Cafe and Wine Bar
This place is seriously delicious and they put more thought into their food & wine pairings than any other restaurant around. Has the ultimate in cool and cozy vibes
Chihuly Garden and Glass
One of the first places in Washington that Rachel & Spencer ever went to. Marvel at the incredible glass creations of Dale Chihuly, one of the greatest glass artisans on earth. It's close to the Space Needle and other tourist sites, so you can make a day of your visit!
Whidbey Island Distillery
If you rented a car and want to do a nice day trip, go to Whidbey Island and find some time to visit this distillery! It is incredible! Some of the best rye we've ever had (and we've had a lot...) plus incredible and unique berry liquors made from local berries. A great place to spend an hour while exploring Whidbey Island. Tasting is fun and free! You'll learn a lot about the distillation process as well as this place's owner designed his own unique stills that you can get up close and personal with.
Woodinville Whiskey Co.
The Johnson Family's favorite whiskey! A local institution
