How We Rate Wineries
PourPlan's rating system evaluates every winery on seven weighted dimensions:
- Tasting Fee (20%): Fee fairness relative to experience, waiver policies, and regional context
- Wine Value (20%): Bottle pricing relative to quality
- Hospitality (15%): Staff friendliness, knowledge, and attentiveness
- Wine Quality (15%): Tasting experience based on professional ratings and visitor consensus
- Vibe (15%): Interior atmosphere, design, and comfort
- Setting (10%): Property, grounds, curb appeal, views (Note: Most Woodinville tasting rooms are in commercial/industrial districts rather than vineyard estates. A score of 5-6 reflects typical regional context, not a deficiency.)
- Parking (5%): Convenience and ease of access
These roll into a composite score from 1.0 to 10.0, with higher scores indicating a better overall visitor experience.
