Washington Wine Highway June 3, 2006

Washington state?s first event to combine wine, food, and tourism, the Wine Highway offers the chance to explore the state?s various wine-producing regions at a single location, the beautiful Chateau Ste. Michelle winery in Woodinville.

Sample wines from more than 50 wineries and culinary delights from more than 25 restaurants throughout the state. You?ll be able to buy wines and certificates for the represented restaurants as well, and there will be tourist and travel information in abundance.

The two-day event offers both single-day and two-day tickets and is 21+ only (ID required; must be carried on your person at all times).

Tickets are $65 (one-day admission) or $110 (two-day admission) per person and include 20 tastes (10 each wine and culinary), signature wine bag and glass, and other benefits. Tickets and event information at the event link; exact schedule has not been announced.

Event pre-registration is available Tue 05/30 through Thu 06/01, 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM each day, at Willows Lodge in Woodinville (Google map link).

Parking will be very limited in the immediate area due to other events the same weekend, but free parking with a free shuttle will be offered on the UW/Bothell campus a few miles away.
