Taste Washington

Taste Washington will relaunch in 2023.

We regret to announce that the Taste Washington festival will not occur in 2022. After deep consideration and the exploration of many options, too many obstacles remain for such an event as the tourism and hospitality industries continue their recovery from the pandemic. We are even more motivated for the event to return better than ever in 2023 and are already making plans to ensure that happens.

Thank you for your unwavering support of Taste Washington throughout this unprecedented time. We are eager to raise a glass of delicious Washington wine with you again soon!

And to our wineries, restaurants, chefs, hotels, sponsors, and partners who have made Taste Washington such an incredible event for so many years, we cannot wait to show you all off again in 2023!

Reimagining the Seminar Space

The Taste Washington Seminar Series brings together some of the nation’s leading wine experts, including top winemakers, growers, Master Sommeliers, Masters of Wine, wine writers and academics. Hosted at the Four Seasons Seattle, the event draws over 400 guests eager to experience the latest and greatest industry trends happening in the state, providing an opportunity to taste some of our state’s finest wines against some of the best in the world. A team of 40+ sommeliers from around the Pacific Northwest volunteer their time to pop, proof and pour more than 4,000 glasses of wine over the two days of seminars. It’s a badge of honor to be selected for the team, and it’s truly a team of some of the finest wine professionals gathered anywhere in the world, and we are incredibly grateful for their service.

Stay tuned until we announce the lineup of the Seminar Series for Taste Washington 2022, but make sure to register when we do open, as our seminars sell out quickly. We can’t wait to share space with you, and let those who have been leading the way take the stage and walk us through their experience, knowledge, and insight.
