Libation  lovers and gardening buffs will delight in one of the Eastside's most bucolic  settings, the charming town of Woodinville. This turn-of-the-century community  is home to Chateau St. Michelle, one of Washington state's most famous wineries, as  well as Columbia Winery and Silverlake Sparkling Cellars. For those who enjoy  the Northwest's fine microbrews, the popular Redhook Brewery and Aviator Ale are  both headquartered here. Then there are the gardening aficionados from around the  world who come to Molbak's, Woodinville's renowned nursery. These are just a few  of the attractions that are making Woodinville an attractive destination for  home buyers.

Woodinville is located north of Redmond surrounded by the  foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Once considered "the sticks," Woodinville  is fast becoming a popular community for those working along the Eastside's high  tech corridor who want to come home to a country lifestyle. Buyers can find a  home in a variety of price ranges and styles, even some farmhouses with acreage  available.

Like its Eastside neighbors, Woodinville offers a variety of  outdoor and recreational activities. Skaters, cyclists, walkers and joggers  enjoy the Sammamish River Trail. Colorful hot air balloons can be seen  floating gently over the chateau-style wineries, equestrian stables and the  acclaimed Washington Dinner Train. Woodinville also hosts a number of community  events, including wine festivals, "Celebrate Woodinville" -- featuring the All  Fools' Day Parade, and the "Basset Bash" for hounds and owners.
