Here's the full schedule of artists and bands performing at the popular winery, which is located near Woodinville's Tourist District. The links to purchase tickets for the shows are below.

Buying tickets 

Chateau Ste. Michelle said Ticketmaster.com is the exclusive ticket provider for all summer concerts. Tickets are only available to purchase online or at the winery - the day of the show only, depending on availability. If fans purchase tickets on the day of the show at the winery, the service fee is $5.

The winery said a ticket is required for children three years of age and older with no exceptions. Children younger than three are free with a ticketed adult in the general admission area. Spots in the reserved seating section require a ticket for all guests. 

Tickets will not be sold at the winery beforehand, however. 

The winery warned that tickets purchased from sources other than Ticketmaster may not be valid. 

Ticketmaster will offer fan-to-fan ticket resale options for customers to resell previously purchased tickets directly and safely to other consumers via the Ticketmaster website giving ticket holders the opportunity to recuperate ticket costs if they are unable to attend. Fan-to-fan resale tickets are verified purchases and guaranteed by Ticketmaster.

Chateau Ste. Michelle is offering new ticketing options this summer with Ticketmaster's platinum seats. This ticket option offers market-based pricing, which will adjust prices according to supply and demand. 

Tickets are non-refundable except in the event of a concert cancellation. In that instance, tickets are refundable at the original point of purchase.
