Make plans to stay awhile

Wine, dine, work, play, live—enjoy life!

If you’re looking for something engaging to do with friends, family or out-of-town guests, look no further than Woodinville Village and the surrounding community of Woodinville. (Woodinville is also the perfect jumping-off point for all sorts of day trips.) Here are just some of the pleasures you’ll find here. Best of all? When you live here, it’s all at your doorstep, and you’re just minutes from Seattle, Redmond and Bellevue.

• Take a hot air balloon ride
• Ride your bike to Marymoor Park for a concert or to watch Friday night bike races
• Kayak from your doorstep to Lake Washington
• Pick up some barbecue and watch the kayakers paddle by
• Grab a beer with friends at Redhook Brewery
• Plan a romantic weekend at Willows Lodge
• Get a facial, manicure, or massage…or all three
• Take the in-laws on a wine-tasting at Woodinville Village
• Meander along the Village paths with your sweetheart
