Instead of running all over town for your holiday shopping, just head to Woodinville, where you’ll find something for everyone (plus, a treat for yourself).
The historic and charming Woodinville Schoolhouse District is a curated collection of shopping, dining, and wine-drinking delights. Adding to the magic is their annual Holiday Market on Dec. 13 and 14.
Dec. 13 offers a special adults-only evening filled with unique holiday treasures from local vendors. Find everything from permanent jewelry and handcrafted pottery to artisanal chocolates and holiday décor. And, the best part—shop while you sip! Enjoy tastings directly from the wine tasting rooms at L’Ecole No 41, Montinore & Landlines Estates, Barnard Griffin, Mullan Road Cellars, and more, all within the heart of the market.
On Dec. 14, from 12 to 6 p.m., bring the family! Kids can snag a photo with Santa, make crafts at the fidget-making booth, and enjoy special holiday treats. While the little ones soak in the season, parents can sip on hot cocoa or explore local vintners and take turns shopping for local and thoughtful gifts.
To really upgrade your shopping experience, book a relaxing service at Oasis Medspa & Salon, then browse the shops and try some wine, which sounds like the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of the season. Savor brunch at Pintxo, or snag gift cards from Walla Walla Steak Co. and Ballard Pizza Company, an Ethan Stowell specialty in the heart of Woodinville.
For the oenophile on your list, Woodinville is the ultimate place to find that perfect bottle of wine. With an impressive array of tasting rooms to choose from, the toughest part will be choosing which ones to gift (or take home). These wine-inspired gift bundles can be purchased on-site or shipped nationwide.
