We came for one tasting and ended up staying most of the afternoon. The patio was relaxed, the staff made us feel completely at home, and we’d absolutely come back.

The Experience
Gateway is the more hospitality-forward Woodinville expression of Michael Florentino Cellars. Visitors can explore the winery's Spanish- and Italian-influenced wines in a dedicated tasting-room setting, and the location is also used for private rentals and live-music Sundays. The current portfolio has strong recent competition credentials: the 2025 Seattle Wine Awards included Double Diamond recognition for the 2015 Barbera and 2015 The Tank, Double Gold for the 2020 Primitivo, and Gold medals for wines including Tempranillo and Albariño. For guests who want a break from the region's Cabernet-heavy norm, Gateway offers a genuinely different varietal lane.
