Best Washington Wine Country Hotels
Overwhelmed by trip planning and decided where to stay? Let me plan you your dream trip!
Walla Walla area
Similar to the Yakima wine region, the Walla Walla wine region is technically made up of a few different AVAs. It’s about 4.5 hours east of Seattle near the Idaho and Oregon border. Here are the best hotels in Washington wine country for exploring the Red Mountain, Horse Heaven Hills, and Walla Walla Valley AVAs. Use my map of the best Walla Walla wineries for planning your visit.
The Finch
link to book | 325 E Main St, Walla Walla, WA | price range: ~$160 – $220 per night
The Finch is an uber cool downtown Walla Walla hotel. It features 80 hotel rooms that with modern, urban furnishings and a young vibe. Guests can enjoy perks like early access to area wineries or spend the day sipping bottles by the fire pit on the outdoor patio.
This is one of the best Washington wine country hotels if you want to explore the downtown Walla Walla tasting room scene for a lot of wine tasting stops back to back. It’s within walking distance to some of my favorites, such as Maison Bleu, and it’s only a short drive from Walla Walla’s southside wineries like Via Piano and Patterson Cellars.
The Inn at Abeja
link to book | 2014 Mill Creek Rd, Walla Walla, WA | price range: ~$575 per night
This romantic getaway is located in the heart of Walla Walla’s wine country on the Abeja winery property. Each room offers a mountain view and guests can enjoy an upscale breakfast from the comfort of the terrace overlooking the winery. In addition to Abeja, you’ll be minutes away from numerous wineries and downtown Walla Walla. There’s also an on-site fine-dining restaurant that was recently taken over by James Beard-nominated chef Mike Easton.

Lake Chelan area
Clocking in about 3 hours east of Seattle Lake Chelan is one of the deepest lakes in North America and a popular place to visit during water sport season. It is one of my absolute favorite wine regions in the area, particularly because it’s less traveled than the other wine locations in Washington. It’s its own AVA, but it butts up against the Columbia Valley AVA. Here are the best Washington wine country hotels for visiting the best wineries in Lake Chelan and best restaurants in Lake Chelan.
Chelan Valley Farms
link to book | 2393 Green Ave, Manson, WA | price range: ~$250 per night
If you love staying on charming farms, Chelan Valley Farms is one of the best hotels in Washington wine country for you. It’s owned by Jeana and Chad, who live on the property with their family. They built a brand new, standalone guest house that overlooks their flower fields, a lake, and the beautiful Chelan Valley hills. This spot is super cozy in winter, which also makes it one of my favorite things to do in Lake Chelan in winter.
The farm mostly grows apples, flowers, pumpkins, and some produce right now, but they plan to expand to winemaking and open a tasting room right on their property. During the growing seasons guests can u-pick different fruits, which makes this a fun stay for people with kids.
Chelan Valley Farms is located on Lake Chelan’s north shore in Manson. It’s perfectly situated for wine tasting at some of the lesser-traveled tasting rooms in downtown Manson. Don’t miss Rootwood Ciders nearby. I’m not typically the biggest cider fan, but they make dry varieties that taste exactly like apples. They also offer tours if you’re interested.
Siren Song Winery
link to book | 635 S Lakeshore Rd, Chelan, WA | price range: ~$350 per night
Siren Song is a fancy winery overlooking beautiful Lake Chelan on its south shore and has quickly become one of my most recommended places to stay in Lake Chelan. It has an opulent air to it with rich colors, molding, marble, and ornate decor throughout its tasting room. This makes it a popular spot for weddings, particularly because it’s tasting room overlooks a patio perfect for dancing under string lights with the lake as a backdrop. Tasting flights can be paired with indulgent eats like chocolate, and it’ll be brought out in a fancy iron tasting holder that turns the glasses into a work of art.
Guests can stay right on the property by renting their villa apartment on the top floor of the winery. It sleeps 6 people in a comfortable, homey apartment featuring 2 beds and 1 bath.
Woodinville area
Seattle is just outside the Puget Sound AVA in western Washington. Woodinville is an area about 30 minutes east of the city that’s the perfect escape for wine lovers looking for a day trip to explore the best Washington wineries. But figuring out how to get a designated driver is the pits, so I like to book a one-night stay in some of the best Washington wine country hotels for when I want to explore the best wineries in Woodinville.
The Heathman Hotel
link to book | 220 Kirkland Ave, Kirkland, WA | price range: ~$175 – $260 per night
The Heathman Hotel is perfectly situated in downtown Kirkland, only an 8 minute drive away from the Woodinville wineries. I like staying here because it’s only a short ride share away from tasting rooms and is modern and comfortable. It also has a fantastic onsite restaurant. Make sure to get the wood-fired bread with roast garlic and cheese if it’s on the menu. You can also order from the restaurant for room service if you’d prefer to get cozy after a day of wine touring!
On your way back from wine tasting, don’t forget to stop at DERU Market for one of the best cakes you’ll ever have. The chocolate peanut butter is so addictive and makes the perfect treat after a day of drinking. It’s one of the best desserts in Seattle hands down!
Willows Lodge
link to book | 14580 NE 145th St, Woodinville, WA | price range: ~$359 – $459 per night
If you’re looking for a rustic lodge that just so happens to be minutes away from some of the best wineries in Washington, you’re going to want to book your stay at the Willows Lodge. It’s located in the “Tourist District” along the Sammamish River and features a world class spa, a garden, and one of the most acclaimed restaurants in Woodinville, the Barking Frog.
Yakima area
The Yakima wine region is about 3 hours east of Seattle. It’s technically made up of a bunch of different AVAs, but most people just say they’re “going to Yakima”. Here are the best Washington wine country hotels for exploring the Horse Heaven Hills, Naches Heights, Rattlesnake Hills, Snipes Mountain, Yakima Valley, and Wahluke Slope AVAs.
Alexandria Nicole Cellars Tiny Houses
website | 158422 Sonova Rd, Prosser, WA | price range: ~$200 – $300 per night
I wrote this best Washington wine country hotel down as soon as I saw them building it on HGTV’s Tiny Homes. On this award-winning winery’s expansive property you’ll find four tiny houses nestled among the vines. They’re all modern with homey accents like wine barrels. One even has a garage door that you can throw open to enjoy the expansive scenery.
This wine country hotel is best suited for visiting the wineries in Horse Heaven Hills and Prosser, which is one of the western most towns in the Yakima wine area. It sits right along the Columbia River overlooking Oregon on the other side.
Lone Point Cellars
link to book | 6 Lakeview Way, Brewster, WA | price range: ~$225 per night
Lone Point Cellars is a gorgeous, desolate wine country property about 45 minutes northeast of Lake Chelan. It features a few super modern condos with huge windows overlooking the valley and connecting Okanogan and Columbia Rivers. Guests can take advantage of the estate’s winery and sip on award-winning wines, like their limited release pinot noir, as they spread out and enjoy their patio, lawn games, or fire pit.
Since this is pretty close to the Methow Valley, one of the largest cross-country skiing trails in the US, there are a lot of things to do in Winthrop, WA in winter nearby.
Cave B Inn
link to book | 344 Silica Rd NW, Quincy, WA | price range: ~$159 – $400 per night
This expansive vineyard property is the perfect hotel if you want to feel as if you were swept away to a luxurious wine retreat in Europe. Rows of vineyards slope gently toward a small river with rolling hills on the other side. Some of the accommodations are built into the hill using a stone facade to make it seem as if they were always there. But guests have a wide array of rooms to choose from.
The guest rooms built into the hillside are called the cavern rooms, which connect via a long hallway built in the stone to feel like a cave. Other options include glamping yurts, cottages, or modern stand-alone condos pictured above. Guests also have access to a spa and hot tub, onsite restaurant, and of course the winery. There’s also a dreamy pool that looks straight out of an Italian villa!
Cave B Inn is a bit north of the majority of other Yakima Valley wineries in the Ancient Lakes AVA. This makes it special because it’s secluded away from where most other people are probably staying and is equidistant from both the Yakima wineries and Wenatchee and Leavenworth, two areas northwest that have a budding wine scene.
One thing to note is that a lot of the nearby rentals are privately owned, so while you may not be able to book through Cave B directly, you can find a lot of great deals on VRBO. Here’s what I found:
- Breathtaking Resort Home
- Pet-Friendly Spa Retreat
- Cave B Lake House
- Cave Beaux at the Gorge
- Lakeside Oasis
- Or any of these nearby condos
Columbia Gorge area
The most low key wine area in Washington is the Columbia Gorge AVA that sits right along the Washington-Oregon border. This is honestly one of my favorite wine regions in Washington because most people don’t even know it’s its own AVA. Here are the best hotels in Washington wine country for when you visit the Columbia River Gorge.
Columbia Gorge Hotel & Spa
link to book | 4000 Westcliff Dr, Hood River, OR | price range: ~$449 per night
The Columbia Gorge Hotel is roughly 30 miles from Multnomah Falls, one of the most must-visit waterfalls in the Gorge, and it looks like a literal storybook destination. I’m talking Victoria-style rooms, a full service spa, multiple fine dining restaurants on-site, gardens, and an unbeatable view of the Columbia River.
In between exploring the best wineries in the Columbia Gorge, there are plenty of other ways to spend a weekend. Depending on the time of year, you can play a few rounds of golf at the Indian Creek Golf Course that’s nearby, or hit the slopes at Mount Hood’s Meadows Ski Area and see why it’s one of my favorite skiing destinations in Washington state.
Book the Columbia Gorge Hotel & Spa
The Society Hotel
link to book | 210 N Cedar St, Cook, WA | price range: ~$320 – $269 per night
This is honestly one of the coolest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. It’s built inside a refurbished historic elementary school, so there is a ton of antique charm throughout the space. Guests enter the lobby and are greeted with a lobby that doesn’t look too far off from a library you’d find at an ivy league college. There’s a tiny cafe serving breakfast and happy hour, inviting people to linger. Or, if they’d rather not, guests can retreat into one of the vintage guest rooms cheekily named after school subjects within the main schoolhouse.
Prices vary because there are hostel accommodations for those looking to save money. Shared rooms have modern bunk beds with private screens and surprisingly thoughtful storage details. Or guests can stay in private rooms with shared bathrooms in the schoolhouse, or splurge for a new private en suite cabin built in the school’s old play fields.
The most magical part of this property is that the new cabins surround a new Scandinavian-style bathhouse with multiple swimming pools, a hot tub, and sauna. Guests can also get a massage, which makes it the perfect ending to a full day of wine tasting.
