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
Passing Time is not a conventional drop-in tasting room. First-party information states that the Woodinville winery does not keep regular public tasting-room hours; instead, visitors gain access through special tastings, winery events, the mailing list and wine-club programming. The strongest visitor draw is therefore access to a focused, collectible Cabernet program and occasional member or public events rather than a daily tasting-bar experience.
