One of the biggest Washington wine events in Woodinville, Passport to Woodinville, is coming up in a couple of weeks, so mark your calendars for April 17-18 and buy your tickets soon – they’re selling out quickly.

This year, 37 of 68 wineries in Woodinville are participating in Passport, which was named one of “America’s 50 Most Amazing Wine Experiences” by Food & Wine magazine. This 9th-annual spring event provides an opportunity to try new and current releases that are bound to please every palate.

We discovered an interesting statistic when reading about Passport – 13 new tasting rooms were opened in Woodinville in 2009, and Woodinville Wine Country expects as many as ten more to open this year.

Passport tickets are $60 for the two-day event, or $40 for Sunday only.

Cheers!
