Seattle’s dozens of metropolitan vineyards are only a portal to the hundreds of wineries sprinkled throughout Washington State. And while the Napa Valley is the traditional go-to for wine tours in the United States, Washington State comes second for production of premium wine in the country, making it an overlooked and underappreciated wine region, where around 70 varietals are grown in Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley and Woodinville, among others. Taste the results for yourself on one of these best Seattle wine tours.
