SEATTLE (March 1, 2024)—Calling all Washington Wine fans! March is Taste Washington Wine Month. Anchored by the beloved Taste Washington event, wineries, restaurants, and retailers are joining in to celebrate #WAwine all month long.
Taste Washington Wine Month is all about exploration, showcasing the diversity and variety of Washington wine.
