Sip & Swirl: Passport to Woodinville Wines is Saturday and Sunday

A whole lot of sipping and swirling will be going on this weekend at almost three dozen wineries in the Sammamish Valley during the annual Passport to Woodinville.

Participants receive commemorative glasses and booklets that offer tastings at wineries such as Brian Carter Cellars, DiStefano, Matthews Estate, Vortex, Chateau Ste. Michelle, Patterson Cellar, Gard Vintners and many others. It’s really an opportunity to experience the quality and variety of Woodinville’s many wineries and often, chat with the winemakers themselves.

This year, 10 highly regarded food trucks, including Pompeii Woodfired Pizza, Gobble, Evolution Revolution, Skinny Phoenix, and Dogfather Catering, among others, will be scattered conveniently among the wineries.

Tickets are $65 for Sunday only and $75 for Saturday and Sunday and available on the Woodinville Wine Country website, which also offers many more details. Find it by clicking here.

• April 18: 12 – 6 pm
• April 19: 12 – 7 pm
