Taste WA Month has always been a time to celebrate.
This year, we’re adding more to the table.
This March, we’re inviting you to partner with your farmer friends and celebrate everything that is Washington Grown, Raised, and Made. From onions and potatoes to beef and oysters, apples, cherries, and wheat, Washington offers a remarkable range of foods and drinks worth savoring.
With more than 300 agricultural products, over 160,000 jobs supported, and $51 billion in local economic impact, our state doesn’t just grow great food — it creates great taste. And if you can’t find Washington products in your store yet, you’re probably in the wrong aisle.
To honor all that makes Washington special, we’ve teamed up with fellow commodity commissions and the team behind the annual Taste Washington event to create a truly unified, statewide celebration. This year, we’ve reimagined the Wine Month logo and paired it with the Taste Washington event brand to double down on awareness and impact.
Washington has it made.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR TASTE WA MONTH A SUCCESS
We are fortunate to have two opportunities each year to come together and celebrate Washington wine: in March and August. During both months, our goal is to provide a platform that helps your creative marketing efforts shine, while bringing us all under one unified umbrella for the greatest collective impact. The more wineries that host events, run promotions, and help spread the word, the more successful the entire month becomes.
This is your opportunity to engage your wine club members, reach new fans, and build meaningful partnerships with local restaurants and retailers in your community. We’ll be there to support you every step of the way by offering flexible branding options, sharing promotional messaging ideas, and using targeted advertising to generate excitement and awareness across the state.

AND DON’T FORGET ABOUT OTHER LOCAL PRODUCTS!
Washington isn’t just a premier wine-growing region—we’re also home to an extraordinary range of agricultural products. From apples and beef to potatoes, dairy, hops, and wheat (and so much more), our state truly has it made when it comes to growing and making great food and drink.
As you build your Taste WA Month plans, consider how you can incorporate other Washington-grown products into your events and promotions. Whether through pairings, menus, collaborations, or in-store features, showcasing these local ingredients helps reinforce that when it comes to Washington, quality is the standard—and our products consistently raise the bar.
