Best for Day Dates: Madrone Cellars
Where: San Juan Valley, Washington
Headed out on your honeymoon? Romantic rolling landscapes make this a cozy spot for couples.
Located on a 40-acre farm, Madrone Cellars was built by dynamic husband and wife duo Shaun and Amy Salamida, who offer private tours fit for wine enthusiasts. The rustic scenery features intimate indoor seating and a gorgeous garden backyard.
If wine isn’t your thing, cider is available on tap to fulfill your tastebuds.
Style Pick: Bold Tropical Prints.

Great for Groups: JM Cellars
Where: Woodinville, Washington
Grab your group and book a reservation for JM Cellars, an easy drive about 30 minutes from downtown Seattle. Capture great group shots against the sprawling charming countryside, wander through the walking trails with your dogs, or stir up some friendly competition at the bocce ball court.
Reservations are recommended, and so are the decadent charcuterie boards, which are available to split with your group, or keep all to yourself. No judgments.

Come for the wine, stay for the food at the Waterbrook Winery, nestled next to a pond with a breathtaking backdrop of the Blue Mountains.
This spot is known for its seasonally-selected menu designed by Chef de Cuisine Alex Leeper. You can stick with a classic bottle of the Bordeaux or Chardonnay, but we’re digging the sleek cans that are easy to carry in any size cooler.
