"Sleigh rides are the seasonal way to tour and taste, with holiday-themed “sleighs” driven by a Chateau Ste. Michelle elf taking guests on a grounds tour with themed stops for wine and food pairings prepared by the Chateau kitchen culinary team. Tastings include four wines paired with four food bites—dress warm, you will be outside. Thursdays–Sundays, Nov. 7 through Dec. 28, $75." - Katie Kelly Bell
"I learned that Woodinville-based Chateau Ste. Michelle will be one of the Seattle Kraken’s official partners and is establishing a major presence at the still-under-construction Climate Pledge Arena, including a sizable marketplace near the main entrance featuring its 14 Hands brand and a wine bar called the Chateau (the latter reserved for club-level season ticket members). Among the wines it will offer at the arena is a limited-edition 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon created to honor the 100th anniversary of the Seattle Metropolitans’ Stanley Cup win; the winery plans to engrave a nine-liter bottle and set it aside to be opened “when the Seattle Kraken win their first Stanley Cup.” The company also intends to produce new red and white Kraken-branded wine cans to sell at the arena and local retailers in the fall, and it highlights its EnviroStar certification and efforts to reduce energy use and conserve water—qualities that appear to align with the arena’s sustainability goals." - Gabe Guarente
"Woodinville's Chateau Ste. Michelle bought the Finkels' company Bon-Vin in 1974." - Gabe Guarente
"You’ve heard of this one. And as a winemaking establishment, Chateau Ste. Michelle is pretty stuffy. It is a massive chateau, after all. But during the summer, their concert series is why you should be making a trip here. The artists that play on their huge back lawn range from the band Chicago to Ben Folds, and it makes for an ideal afternoon among a chill crowd listening to music, eating cheese and meat from the shop inside, and drinking their Midsummer’s White blend while spread out on the grass." - Aimee Rizzo
