Beautiful gardens surround the buildings creating lovely outdoor tasting areas. A group of historic cottages were moved to this site and then restored. The Apple Farm Village is the perfect setting for Lauren Ashton Cellars. Another standout for me, the 2018 Chardonnay which comes from the Yakima Valley AVA. It is an old-world style, and the syrah is blended with a hint (3 percent) of viognier. “Life is too short to stain your teeth on bad wine,” Dr. Chad’s dad is a dentist and I love his quote. The 2018 Stained Tooth Syrah is one of the best I’ve had. Great wines grow in the vineyard and Dusted Valley’s sustainable farming practices in the Walla Walla valley and skilled winemakers have created some wines I really enjoyed. The Stained Tooth Society wine club is the coolest name ever. In a bit of serendipity, they married two sisters, Janet Johnson and Cindy Braunel, who handle all the sales, distribution, admin, and the wine club. Chad Johnson and Corey Braunel’s strong roots in agriculture led to their roles as winegrowers. More than 16 years ago the Johnsons and Braunels quit their jobs and established Dusted Valley. The Dusted Valley philosophy is when family works together the American Dream can turn into a living reality. The district was named after the Hollywood Schoolhouse which is now an event center and tasting room. Fancy dining and pub grub, you’ll find it all in Hollywood. You’ll find a gold-rated Conde Nast lodge not far from tasting rooms nestled into rural historic homes. The Hollywood District is both ritzy and rustic at the same time. My stay in Woodinville was a press trip hosted by Woodinville Wine Country. For this trip, I chose the Hollywood District. I like to pick one district and plan my tasting around that area. The town is divided into four winemaking districts: downtown, Hollywood, the Warehouse, and West Valley districts.

Pro Tip: With over 130 wineries in Woodinville it can be overwhelming to decide where to go.
Chances are the winemaker experimented with a wine and it came out so good it ended up going into production. When visiting a tasting room, ask questions to find out what makes their winery unique. Washington winemakers are not mired in the rules of wine traditions and are more creative and artistic than their counterparts from California and France. Even though the region boasts more 90+ rated vintages than anywhere in the world it is not pretentious. It is a lovely town filled with friendly people. Woodinville is nestled in the Sammamish River Valley. Today Woodinville is a premier destination for wine lovers and there are now over 130 wineries with tasting rooms in the area. Columbia Winery followed in 1989 and then many more in the 1990s. It even built a chateau and rebranded it to reflect its name. Michelle became the first winery to establish a presence in the town. Woodinville fit the bill and Chateau Ste. Winemakers realized if they wanted wine lovers to sip their creations, they needed a destination that was closer while still having a wine country experience. Most people live in western Washington with the Cascade Mountains in between. The majority of Washington vineyards are in eastern Washington where the warm climate and land are perfect for growing grapes.
