Upcoming Wine Events

24-Jan-2006

 

In addition to the Boutique Winery Showcase I mentioned a couple days ago there are a couple of other events you may want to get on your calendar. 
 
Make it a romantic pre-Valentine’s Day weekend by heading to Oregon’s Willamette Valley for wine, cheese and chocolate tasting!  I just received information from Domain Serene, Domain Drouhin and Archery Summit about a special tasting they will be holding on Saturday, February 11th.  Here are some of the details: 
Domaine Serene – 866.864.6555
$20 per person:  Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Rockblock Syrah along with a "bounty of chocolate delights"
 
Domaine Drouhin – 503.864.2700 for RSVP & Questions
$15 per person:  Pinot Noir plus wines from the parent winery, Maison Joseph Drouhin of Burgundy.  Wines will be paired with an assortment of artisinal cheeses.  As a reminder, it was one of Domaine Drouhin’s Pinot Noirs picked as the class favorite at the Cornucopia Pinot tasting. 
 
Archery Summit – 503.864.4300 or info@archerysummit.com for more information
$20 per person:  Single vineyard estate wines, Library Selections with fresh fruits and a cascading Belgian Chocolate fountain. 
The (now) annual Sexy Syrah tasting at Salty’s on Alki again benefits the Farestart organization.  This year it will be held on Tuesday, March 21st.  Over 30 wineries will be participating.  For reservations check out the Farestart website.  Tickets are $30 per person.  This event always sells out. 
 
On April 1st and 2nd the Woodinville wineries will be hosting one of their Passport Weekends.  You purchase a passport and use it to gain entry to several wineries in the area, many of which are not normally open to the public.  Besides wine tasting, each winery will have some light bites for you to enjoy.  Passports cost $45 per person.  For a list of participating wineries see the site. 
 
Coming up on Saturday April 8th the huge Taste Washington event will be rolling into town.  This event features over 150 wineries and little bites from some of the area’s top dining facilities.  Each restaurant is placed between two winery tables and the food has been specifically created to pair with a wine from each winery.  You also have the opportunity to participate in seminars.  Ticket prices for the Saturday evening Ultimate Wine Tour Grand Tasting are $125 and can be purchased online or at participating wine shops. 
 
Also on the calendar are the following events – more info in the next few weeks: 
  • May 1 Rose Revival at The Islander
  • May 15 Wine Yakima Valley at the Palace Ballroom
