Purple Cafe & Wine Bar in Woodinville

Stop at this Woodinville Wine Cafe with a widespread reputation for a meal or a tasting experience!
Just 35 minutes East of Seattle, Woodinville is wine country.  It is also a great place to vacation or to live, near all

The Purple Cafe offers an outdoor patio

that is central to the Eastside and close enough to Microsoft’s campuses.  It’s natural that it would be in demand as a great place to raise kids.  But the wineries make it unique in the area and a wonderful afternoon or evening destination if you’re coming out from the City or surroundings.

Vinyard tasting rooms, summer concerts, and great restaurants offering a wide selection of local vintages.  One of our very favorites, and with a name that echos far beyond the borders of the Seattle Metro area, is Purple Cafe & Wine

The wine bar

Bar.  There are now three locations.  In 2001 the first Purple was opened in Woodinville by Larry and Tabitha Kurofsky.  The Kirkland location opened in July of 2003 in Kirkland, and July of 2006 in Seattle.  By the way,

Chilled Carrot Ginger Soup is wonderful on a hot day.

check out their Purple website not only for addresses and information, but to read the great foodie blog as well.  June includes something about “sippers” with wonderful suggestions for tasty summer wine choices and sangrias.

When we stopped by the Woodinville Purple’s recently it was the top suggestion from the folks at a nearby tasting room.  No question, a wonderful choice.  The soups, salads, and entrees were seductively delicious and we vowed to be back soon.  We sat on the patio enjoying the sunshine and the side game of admiring the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cool sports cars in the parking lot.  This is a place to bring your friends, a real destination!  We also saw families dropping by to take a patio table and share a thin-crust pizza with Mom and Dad sipping a glass of local wine in the twilight.  Don’t you love waiters with sparkling eyes fussing

Waiters and bar tenders serve in high good spirits and with flare.

over you?  I do, and the parade of friendly and energetic waiters with a bounce in their step and a sharp interest in whether we had what we needed definitely added to the experience.

Inside a few early patrons sat at the bar which stretched the length of the restaurant, which was vaulted high and dim.  Soon the tables began to fill with crowds of friends out to enjoy what is definitely one of the highlights of the restaurant scene in a town very well endowed with great places.

If you’d like to go wine tasting or visit some of Woodinville’s finest, why not take a look at the Winery Map and get a sense of what’s available.  It would be impossible to cover everything in one day, but there’s a great Woodinville Wine Country website that will help you get started.
