Greg and Stacy Lill have teamed up with Joe and Chris Aschbacher of Chateau Ste. Michelle to invite two couples to experience Washington wine country as you never have before.

Greg, Stacy, Joe, and Chris will be your host for two nights at the Four Diamond Willows Lodge & Spa located in the heart of Woodinville wine country, just minutes from over 130 wineries. Join them for dinner paired with wines from their personal cellars at the Willows Lodge premier restaurant, the Barking Frog. Spend your day sipping on Cashmere and Chateau Ste. Michelle wines as you enjoy lunch prepared by a private chef in the gazebo next to the pond at the beautiful Chateau Lill Estate. Should you choose to plan your visit during the summer months, Chateau Ste. Michelle will treat you to the ultimate outdoor concert setting which includes a pre-concert food and wine reception, reserve seating on the concert grounds, and transportation to and from the winery.

Hop aboard a Quest Kodiak seaplane for a private flight to Roche Harbor on beautiful San Juan Island, just 45 minutes away from Seattle. The perfect way to experience the natural beauty of the Northwest, fly at under 2,000 feet over the crystal blue-green waters to reach your destination where you'll be greeted with a lunch on the dock paired with wine and overlooking the 340 slip Roche Harbor bay and marina before heading back on your private float plane ride.

Tour the world famous Chihuly Glass Blowing Studio on the shores of Lake Union in Seattle. Dale Chihuly is a world-renowned glass blower and his studio and extensive collections, which are not open to the public, are yours to view on a personal tour from one of his staff. This is truly a once in a lifetime experience.

Complete your trip by joining your hosts for a private yacht tour of Lake Washington and downtown Seattle. Sip on wines hand-selected by your hosts as you cruise the calm waters and pass by the homes of Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and many other multi-million dollar lakefront mansions.
