March in Washington means one thing: incredible wine, unforgettable food, and a lineup of events that bring it all together. Taste Washington Month is officially underway, and this weekend is the heart of it.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to dive into Washington wine and food, this is it.
What’s Happening This Weekend
Pacific Standard | Thursday, March 19
Kick things off with a true taste of the Pacific Northwest. This event pairs some of the region’s best seafood with Washington’s standout white wines, rosés, and sparkling pours. Think oysters, crab, and fresh coastal flavors alongside crisp, vibrant wines. It’s a perfect introduction to what makes this region so special.
The New Vintage | Friday, March 20
This is where things shift into a more elevated, high-energy experience. The New Vintage is a late-night celebration with live music, great wine, cocktails, and a dressed-up crowd. It’s part party, part showcase of Washington’s modern wine scene, and a great way to experience the culture around it.
The Seminars | Saturday, March 21
For anyone who wants to go deeper, this is where the magic happens. These sessions bring together winemakers, sommeliers, and industry experts for guided tastings and conversations. You’ll taste rare wines, learn directly from the people behind them, and walk away with a whole new appreciation for what’s in your glass.
The Grand Tasting | Saturday & Sunday, March 21–22
This is the main event. More than 200 Washington wineries and 75 restaurants come together under one roof for a full-scale tasting experience.
You’ll move from booth to booth tasting wines, trying bites from top chefs, and discovering new favorites along the way. There’s something for everyone here, whether you’re just getting into wine or already know what you like.
Saturday is already sold out, but there are still limited tickets available for Sunday.
Why This Weekend Matters
There’s no better way to experience Washington than through its food and wine. Everything that makes this region special shows up here, from the people behind the bottles to the flavors on the plate.
It’s not just about tasting wine. It’s about seeing the full picture of what Washington does so well.
If you’re planning to go, don’t wait on tickets. And if you’re visiting the area, this weekend is the perfect reason to explore, taste, and experience it all.
