Winemaker Picnic

End: Friday, August 14, 2026 8:30PM

One of the signature summer events for Washington wine lovers (and the wine-curious alike), the evening brings together 80+ Washington winemakers pouring more than 200 wines, alongside tasting bars, themed vintner stations, and specialty areas like the popular sparkling wine/rosé bar, guests will find their perfect pour. Indulge in delicious bites from chef stations featuring a variety of upscale picnic food while surrounded by the beauty of our state’s founding winery. Get in on the fun with games or bid on future release wines at the lively auction. Led this year by honorary chair Drew Bledsoe, former NFL quarterback and founder of Doubleback Winery, the event also supports a meaningful cause, with proceeds benefiting Seattle Children’s, Washington State University’s Viticulture & Enology Department and VITAL Wines. Admission prices start at $100 per ticket for guests under 30 (must be 21-30 to qualify). General admission entry price is $175 per ticket, and the Shade & Seat package price is $225 per ticket.
