The summer’s biggest wine event is back at the Auction of Washington Wines’ Winemaker Picnic and Barrel Auction! Benefiting Seattle Children’s, WSU wine science research, and Vital. You’ll have the opportunity to meet winemakers, taste a selection of more than 100 wines, and enjoy elevated Picnic fare from some of the most esteemed chefs from the Seattle area!

MEET THE WINEMAKERS

Choose from more than 100 wines, many of which are being poured by the winemakers themselves! Hear their stories, ask about their winemaking approach, and find out what makes the wine they are pouring for you so special.

GRAB A NOSH

Great wines deserve food that goes beyond traditional picnic fare, and this year there will be six Seattle-area chefs and restaurants providing an array of Pacific Northwest favorites to choose from! Choose from signature fried chicken drumsticks from Cookie’s Country Chicken, hot smoked king salmon sliders from Ray’s Boathouse, Lemberger braised oyster mushrooms from Jack’s BBQ, Israeli couscous from Communion, and more! Got a sweet tooth? Head to the nitro ice cream bar from FogRose, or round out your meal with a sweet treat from Trophy Cupcakes!
