Seattle Wineries Tour
Seattle Wineries Tour
Over the last 20 years, the state of Washington has catapulted into the role of the country's #2 wine-producing region due to its ideal climate and its steadfast cadre of artisanal winemakers. This Washington winery tour takes you out of Seattle and into Woodinville, home to dozens of premium boutique wineries, and the world-class Chateau Ste. Michelle winery. Tour and taste your way through the region and marvel at the stunning beauty of the landscape, including a stop at the breathtaking Snoqualmie Falls.
Start your Washington winery tour in Seattle, leaving the city over the Evergreen Pt. Bridge, the world's second-longest floating bridge on Lake Washington. Meander into Woodinville, where you'll stop at a premium boutique winery. Then, visit the famous Chateau Ste. Michelle, makers of some of America's best-loved and most popular wines. Relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery of the "Cascade Mountains" foothills, winding your way past in-season flower farms, horse ranches, and vineyards before arriving at the magnificent Snoqualmie Falls. Reaching a height of almost 270 feet, the falls are both sacred grounds for the Snoqualmie Native American tribe that inhabits the Puget Sound region, and a famous film and television location, appearing onscreen in the long-running TV series "Twin Peaks." On your trip back to Seattle, you'll cap off your Washington State winery tour with a stop at Boehms Candies in Issaquah, where you'll sample the handcrafted chocolate delicacies the artisans at Boehms have been making for over 70 years.

To accomplish this, we have compiled an exceptional array of tours delivered by local experts with decades of experience serving travelers and delivering excellent tours. Our owners and management team are comprised of seasoned travel industry executives who leverage their considerable experience to deliver memories of a lifetime.
We are experts in providing exceptional shore excursions. We understand that in today's fast paced world, vacations have become an increasingly important way to relax, reconnect with family and friends, and experience new and interesting places. With this in mind, we provide the highest quality tours by performing extensive research, and detailed reviews. While other companies also offer excursions, we strongly believe our expertise and approach set us apart. The large cruise lines sell shore excursions - typically in very large groups visiting high traffic sites. We focus on smaller groups visiting more interesting and authentic locations using more personalized local operators. While the cruise lines are experts in delivering cruises, we are experts in delivering shore excursions.
Our Approach
We believe quality service is not only highly valued by customers, but ultimately leads to better experiences and higher satisfaction. Unlike the cruise lines and other tour companies that rely almost entirely on websites, we encourage customers to call us. We want to invest our time answering your questions, providing input, and selecting the excursions that best meet your needs.
Our Tours
Our goal is to provide customers a wide array of exciting, appealing, and enriching tours. For those customers who prefer to travel in smaller groups with more personalized service, we offer a wide variety of small group tours around the world.

While exploring the destinations and ports on this website, feel free to search for these "Small Group Tours". For those customers interested in private tours, we offer many outstanding excursions that allow you to travel with your party alone and, in many cases, to fully customize your tour. Search for "Private Tours" if you are interested in this experience. Our "Scenic" tours provide up close and personal access to some of the most spectacular natural environments on Earth from majestic glaciers in Alaska to spectacular reefs in the Caribbean. Our "Cultural" tours allow customers to experience local customs, entertainment and culinary delights ranging from tribal dances in Alaska to an outstanding local meal in Santorini, Greece. Our "Active" tours offer a multitude of exciting and adventurous ways to experience our destinations. Our customers can kayak the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, hike to a spectacular waterfall in Hawaii, or bicycle through quaint villages in France.
