About this winery

Washington State's oldest winery is surrounded by 105 wooded acres and unique craftsman-style architecture, acting as an oasis for everyone who visits. By coming here, you're telling us you'd like to know a little bit more about who we are and what we're all about. At Chateau Ste. Michelle, our award-winning wines interweave with our rich heritage to create a wine experience you'll never forget.

Celebrating more than 50 years of winemaking. Since then, we have combined Old World winemaking traditions with New World innovation. In fact, Chateau Ste. Michelle is one of the few premium wineries in the world with two state-of-the-art wineries, one for red and one for white. The whites are made at the Chateau in Woodinville, WA, while the reds are made at our Canoe Ridge Estate winery in Eastern Washington.

The Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery Estate in Woodinville is open daily from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM and offers a wide variety of wine tasting, tour and food and wine pairing experiences. Enhance your wine knowledge as you learn about our rich heritage, get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of winemaking, and see what makes the Columbia Valley such a premier grape growing region.

Chateau Ste. Michelle also maintains two legendary partnerships with European producers Marchesi Antinori under the Col Solare label, and Mosel's Ernst Loosen under the Eroica Riesling label.

    Absolutely the worst wine tasting experience we’ve ever had in 20 years. Ushered into a sterile room with no information before hand. Presentation felt like a time share. Couldn’t wait to get out of there. Our friends bought 8 bottles of wine and they did not waive the tasting fee.
