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
Sky River provides one of Woodinville's clearest alternative tasting experiences: mead rather than grape wine. The tasting room is open Thursday through Sunday, with appointments also available, and publishes tasting fees of roughly $15–$35 per person. Its position near the Warehouse District makes it a useful palate-change stop for visitors curious about fermented honey beverages.
