SPOKANE, WA -- Savor the fruit of the vine at some of Spokane’s finest wineries with Northern Quest’s Washington Winery Package.
Starting at $199, the Washington Winery Package includes overnight accommodations in a classic guestroom, a complimentary bottle of local Washington State wine, two keepsake wine glasses, a selection of fine handcrafted chocolates made in-house at Masselow’s Restaurant, and a $50 dining credit at Masselow’s Restaurant, Eastern Washington’s only AAA Four Diamond restaurant.
A special feature of the Washington Winery Package is a complimentary downtown transportation drop off at Barrister Winery (open Tuesday – Saturday, noon to 5:00 p.m.) where each guest will receive a winery production tour guided by the winemaker, including a barrel tasting in their cellar.
Barrister Winery (www.barristerwinery.com) is an award-winning winery recently profiled in the New York Times. It is located in a renovated period-warehouse in downtown Spokane and specializes in the production of limited quantities of Bordeaux varietal wines and Syrahs.
From Barrister, guests may enjoy a self-guided walking tour of Spokane’s 14 local tasting rooms. Have fun tailoring your walking tour to your own specific taste and interests. And, savor the wine tastings with gusto (winery tasting room fees not included in package price), because Northern Quest is offering complimentary return transportation upon guest request.
Visit one or all of the wineries listed on the Spokane Winery Association’s (www.spokanewineries.net) Historic Downtown & Carnegie tour which includes over 14 different wineries including Barili Cellars, Barrister Winery, Bridge Press Cellars, Emvy Cellars, Grande Ronde Cellers, Robert Kari Cellers and Whitestone Winery.
Also included in the package is valet and overnight garage service, round-trip airport transfers, area-wide transportation, complimentary wireless internet, evening turndown service and access to the property’s pool and fitness center. Package is based on double occupancy with upgrades available for a nominal fee. Friday and Saturday night stays are limited with a $40 increase. All accommodations must be reserved 72 hours prior to stay.
The property also welcomes guests to 14,000 square feet of pure relaxation at Current Spa & Salon, world-class gaming and entertainment and 14 distinct restaurants and lounges, including Masselow’s Restaurant – the only AAA Four Diamond restaurant in Eastern Washington.
Washington State is the second largest premium wine producing state in the country. And, Spokane is home to 18 increasingly renowned wineries with a unique vintner mindset that inspires intense rich reds, crisp whites, complex blends and even a bit of the bubbly. Spokane’s wineries embrace a hands-on production process that is often lost at larger wineries. In fact, the owners often create the wines themselves. Or, as one of the Spokane Winery Association members noted, "We intimately know every grape that is put into the bottle."
Reservations for the Washington Winery Package can be made by calling 1-877-871-6772 or on-line at www.northernquest.com. Packages are based on double occupancy and availability (add $40 for Friday and Saturday night stays). Additional fees apply to all upgrades. Additional nights are available at a preferential rate. Guests may choose their complimentary bottle of wine when reserving their room, from red to white, sparkling to zinfandel.
