I would like to welcome my newest Tasty Vacation sponsor, Bon Vivant Wine Tours. For years, I watched the white mini-coaches, filled with happy travelers, driving between the wineries in Woodinville and thought "Those people are having such a good time! Must be a great wine tour." Now I know why.... from the entertaining, knowledgeable guides to the well thought out itineraries, Bon Vivant is an exceptional tour company and one of the only wine tour companies in the Seattle area that offer regularly Scheduled Day Tours.
Scheduled Day Tours- Almost every Wednesday thru Sunday throughout the year, Bon Vivant Wine Tours offers a scheduled day tour from Seattle that individuals, couples, or small groups of 3-6 may join on a per-seat basis. Woodinville wineries are the most frequent destinations, but occasionally they offer tours to Seattle City wineries -- or even longer day tours to Bainbridge Island or Yakima/Rattlesnake Hills or Leavenworth/Wenatchee Valley wineries. Remember that even these "public" tours are held to small groups of 10 or fewer for a better wine touring experience.

- Woodinville Wineries Day Tour
From Seattle, 10:30 a.m. -- 5:30 p.m. Scheduled tour pricing $89 + tax/person
