My wife and I are planning a Washington wine vacation next year with another couple and could use some Berserker assistance in properly planning this out.
Currently we are looking at spending 9 - 10 days, including travel from South Florida, in Washington. We are considering departing on the 10th or
11th of August. First question, is August a good time of year to visit? Is there a significantly better time to visit?
The general thought right now is to spend a few days in the Seattle area seeing the sites and heading over to Woodinville to experience the many, many tasting rooms there. Would you plan to lodge in the Seattle area, Woodinville, or somewhere in between?
After that we would drive to the Walla Walla and Columbia Valley areas, set up some appointments for tastings and tours and then return to South Florida via Seattle. Maybe Portland.
I will certainly be asking for tasting and dining recommendations but those will come later as we fine tune the travel details.
