In Woodinville, history isn’t just something you see—it’s somewhere you can sit down, raise a glass, and stay awhile.
Four historic places where the food, wine, and stories all come together.
Go back to school. This time, wine is allowed.
Hollywood Schoolhouse + Maryhill Winery
The Hollywood Schoolhouse has been a Woodinville gathering place for more than a century. Built in 1912, it replaced the earlier one-room Derby School. Hollywood Farm owner Frederick Stimson helped finance the new school, which later became a community gathering place for dances, parties and events.
Today, the historic brick schoolhouse is home to Maryhill Winery’s Woodinville Tasting Room & Bistro, where you can enjoy Washington wine and a full menu ranging from appetizers and salads to burgers and other entrées.
Come for: Lunch, wine and a schoolhouse with more than 100 years of stories.

History on tap.
Hollywood Tavern
Before there was a tavern here, there was a gas station.
Hollywood Corner Service Station opened on this site in 1922, serving travelers along the Woodinville-Redmond Road. In 1947, Mabel Nieman transformed it into the original Hollywood Tavern, where farmers, loggers and mill workers gathered for a drink, conversation—and, apparently, the occasional bit of advice from Mabel.
Today, the Hollywood Tavern carries on that roadhouse tradition with scratch-made tavern food, cocktails and a relaxed place to gather in the heart of Woodinville Wine Country.
Come for: A burger, a drink and a true Woodinville roadside original.
A little retro. A lot of Woodinville.
Woodinville Cut Shop
If the walls at the Cut Shop could talk, they’d have plenty to say.
The building dates back to the 1930s and has spent generations as a local gathering place. It served as a grocery store in the 1940s, became the Woodinville Tavern through much of the 1950s–1970s, and later became the longtime home of McCorry’s on the Slough before the Cut Shop opened in 2018.
Today, the Cut Shop embraces its neighborhood-roadhouse roots with burgers, sandwiches, smoked meats, tacos, local beer and plenty of throwback personality.
Come for: Good food, a funky retro vibe and a gathering place generations of Woodinvillers would recognize.

Before the wine, there was Hollywood Farm.
Chateau Ste. Michelle
Long before Woodinville became known as wine country, this was Hollywood Farm, the country estate and working farm of lumberman Frederick Stimson and his family. The Stimson Manor was completed in 1912, and the property became known for its innovative dairy operation, gardens and agricultural enterprises.
The property later became home to Chateau Ste. Michelle, founded in 1967 and now one of the landmarks most closely associated with Woodinville’s emergence as a Washington wine destination.
Today, visitors can explore the estate, taste Washington wines and enjoy seasonal dishes from the Chateau Kitchen—all on grounds with more than a century of Woodinville history.
Come for: Wine, food, beautiful grounds—and the story of the farm that helped give Woodinville’s Hollywood District its name.
