A Dreamy Valentine’s Day Weekend in Woodinville
If you’re craving a getaway that feels like a rom-com set in wine country, look no further than Woodinville, Washington. A quick and relaxing 30 minutes outside of Seattle, it’s the kind of place where every corner feels a little bit magical—and every glass of wine feels like a love letter.
Whether you're planning a Valentine's escape or just want to have a romantic weekend, here's your perfect, romance (and wine) - fueled itinerary.
Day 1: Friday
🛎 2pm: Check-In to Willows Lodge
Willow’s Lodge is a cozy cabin meets wellness retreat experience. Think rustic-chic, Pacific Northwest vibes—massive stone fireplaces, soaking tubs built for two, and the kind of cozy energy that makes you want to cancel your return flight and move in.
💆♀️ 3pm: Spa Treatment at The Spa at Willows Lodge
There’s nothing like a spa treatment to kickstart a weekend of bliss. We opted for a massage and facial that had us so relaxed we were basically human puddles afterward.
What makes it extra special:
Local, seasonal ingredients (hello, lavender everything)
Outdoor hydrotherapy pools and sauna for post-massage lounging
🍸 5pm: Drinks at Fireside Lounge
After spa heaven, get ready for an evening around the property, kicking it off with the Fireside Lounge. Live music, candlelit tables, and a crackling fire? Say less. Order a martini (or cocktail of choice) and toast to a weekend well underway.
🍽 8pm: Dinner at Barking Frog
A hop, skip, and step from the Fireside Lounge, you’ll encounter the Barking Frog. The name is quirky, the food is serious business. Think local ingredients, artful plating, and a wine list that deserves its own fan club. Barking Frog is a must—and it's right on property at Willow’s Lodge.
✨ 10pm: Late-Night Hot Tub
End your night the way every perfect night should end: under the stars, in a hot tub, with your person. Willows Lodge guests have spa access into the evening, so grab those robes and relax under the stars.
Day 2: Saturday
🥞 9am: Breakfast in Bed (Room Service from Barking Frog)
Start slow with a decadent breakfast delivered right to your room. Fluffy pancakes, perfect eggs, endless coffee—because nothing says romance like not having to change out of your robe or pajamas.
🍳 11am: Cooking Class at Chateau Ste. Michelle
Yes, THAT Chateau Ste. Michelle—the one that basically put Washington wine on the map. Their Chef’s Cooking Studio is just a short and scenic walk away from Willows Lodge, and it’s pure magic for foodie couples, or those interested in honing their cooking craft (with a glass of wine that is always full in hand).
What we did:
Made three seasonal recipes with a chef guiding us step-by-step.
Paired each dish with a different Chateau Ste. Michelle wine.
Ate (and drank) everything after, obviously.
🍷 Vibe: Hands-on, flirty and fun, and a lot more fun than just sitting at a table.
🍷🍦 4pm: Wine + Ice Cream at Bayernmoor Cellars
End the day at Bayernmoor Cellars for the most unexpected (and delightful) pairing ever: wine and ice cream. Picture this: rich reds paired with artisanal scoops like lavender honey or dark chocolate ganache. It's indulgent, unique, and yes—you'll want to Instagram the whole thing.
🛁 6pm: Wine and Bath Time
As part of Willow’s Lodge ‘Love the Wine You’re With’ package, they draw a romantic bath lined with rose petals and chocolate truffles plus a bottle of sparkling wine for a relaxing evening of soaking in a well-spent day.
Day 3: Sunday
🚶♀️ 10am: Morning Stroll + Breakfast in Town
Woodinville’s town center has a few cute breakfast spots perfect for a casual last-day meal. Grab a pastry and a coffee and soak in the small-town charm before one last wine adventure. Willow’s Lodge offers bike rentals, but there was too much snow on the ground when we went, so we opted for a casual “hot girl walk” (as we call it).
🍷 12pm: Final Winery Stop: DeLille Cellars
End your trip with a visit to DeLille Cellars, one of Woodinville’s OG cult wineries and the neighbor of Willow’s Lodge. Their Bordeaux-style blends are swoon-worthy—and the tasting room feels elegant without being stuffy. A perfect last cheers before check-out.
💖 TL;DR:
If you’re looking for a Valentine’s Day weekend that’s heavy on cozy vibes, stunning wine, and unforgettable moments, Woodinville delivers. Go for the wine. Stay for the hot tubs, fireplaces, and memories you'll want to bottle up forever.
