5 Best Wineries near Carnation

“Our family recently visited Alveare Winery, located in Carnation, Washington, just 35 minutes away from Seattle. We went there to celebrate Mother's Day and had a great time. Alveare Winery is a family-owned property boasting stunningly landscaped grounds. The name Alveare, which means beehive in Latin, is inspired by one of the owners' passions for beekeeping. We enjoyed the visit so much that we plan to come back often.

Alveare Winery produces high-quality wines using traditional techniques. It partners with high-elevation vineyards for unique and complex flavors. Its wines reflect the terroir of the Pacific Northwest and offer reds, whites, and rosés. Visitors can enjoy a wine tasting or purchase wine directly from the winery. The winery takes pride in its Bordeaux-style wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Syrah.

Their Cabernet Franc has won numerous awards, and we particularly enjoyed it during our wine tasting. We enjoyed it so much that we bought several bottles and a four-pack of their Huckleberry Hard Cider. During our Mother's Day dinner, we opened the Cabernet Franc, which was fantastic with a steak dinner.

The winery has indoor and outdoor areas for visitors. It is children-friendly, with lots of room to run. Chalk is provided for children to draw on a designated area on the concrete. The grapes come from central Washington vineyards, but the juicing and wine-making all occur here on the Carnation property. At the winery, they also sell their delicious honey from their own beehives. Highly recommend a visit.“
