Chateau Ste. Michelle Concerts
- Located at 14111 NE 145th Street Woodinville, WA 98072
Chateau Ste. Michelle is the ultimate spot to watch a concert! They have food available there, but our favorite thing is to arrive at our concert early, park, and then walk to one of the nearby restaurants for a bite to eat. We’ll also usually squeeze in a wine tasting, then come back for the show. When you’re at one of their concerts, you can also buy a bottle of wine to enjoy from one of their extensive cellars. Great wine, amazing music, and beautiful sunsets make for a pretty fantastic evening. Click here for a list of events, and sign up to get their 2018 summer concert line-up emailed to you.
