Wine Walk

Meander around 23 shops as they host pop-up tasting rooms showcasing an array of regional wines. As an attendee, you'll receive tasting tickets to redeem for samples of the wines of your choice, and if you find a favorite, you can take a bottle (or two!) home by making a purchase right at the tasting location!

NEW to 2026 - the Port of Bellingham is sponsoring a seaside DJ after party at the Central Pier next to the Granary building to carry on the Wine Walk fun into the evening!
