Woodinville, among the vines.

Tasting rooms, a river trail and a small city that makes an afternoon feel like a destination.

Matchmaking in Woodinville

Woodinville is close enough to Redmond and Kirkland for a weeknight, and set apart enough to feel like a day out. The tasting rooms draw people from all over the Eastside; the difficulty, if you live here, is meeting someone whose life is as settled as yours — or someone willing to drive up the valley with intention.

Sterling Introductions is a private matchmaker for this corner of the Eastside. Women apply at no cost. Executive men retain us for a twelve-month search after a complimentary consultation. We confirm identity for everyone, and we only arrange a meeting when both people want it. A first conversation here might be a tasting and a slow walk, not a crowded bar.

Where a first meeting might happen

Northeast 145th Street

Chateau Ste. Michelle

Washington's founding winery, set on wooded grounds, with reserved tastings and a kitchen. Reservations are recommended.

Northeast 145th Street

The Herbfarm

A long-standing tasting-menu restaurant next to the Chateau — better saved for a later meeting than a first one.

Places we like for a first meeting; Sterling has no commercial relationship with them. Check hours before you go.

Counting everyone who is never married, widowed or divorced, there are about 63 unmarried men for every 100 unmarried women, and the median age is 40.8.
