Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery Tours and Activities
Sip wine in a French-inspired chateau with lush grounds at the Chateau Ste. Michelle Vineyards, one of Washington’s oldest wineries. Because the award-winning wines are produced with grapes grown across the state, they provide a great introduction to the diversity of Washington terroir, just a short drive from Seattle.
The Basics
Washington State wines—from deep red cabernet to crisp Riesling—take center stage at this Seattle-area vineyard. Free tours of Chateau Ste. Michelle Vineyards include tastings, but wine isn’t the only reason to visit: Following the tour, take some time to stroll around the manicured, 105-acre (42.5 hectares) property. It’s easy to reach Chateau Ste. Michelle on a quick trip from Seattle, but the winery is also a featured stop on some longer wine-themed tours.
