Northwest Wine Academy Alumni Celebration & Wine Tasting

Description

For 21 years, the Northwest Wine Academy has been a cornerstone of technical wine education, cultivating talent, fostering entrepreneurship, and empowering students to turn their passion into a profession. As we mark this milestone, we celebrate what truly defines our legacy: the students who bring the Academy to life.

Join us on Saturday, August 9 from 2 to 5 p.m. as we welcome back Northwest Wine Academy alumni to celebrate their success at the First Annual Alumni Celebration. This special event showcases businesses founded and run by former students while raising vital funds to support the Academy. All proceeds will go directly toward program supplies that enhance hands-on learning. 

Tickets are $50 each and include wine tastings from participating alumni wineries, selections from NWWA’s own label, a commemorative wine glass, and cheese and charcuterie pairings.  

Participants include: Cloudlift Cellars, Gorman Winery, Lobo Hills Winery, Phelps Creek Vineyards, Pine Lake Cellars, SAMA Cellars, Sparkman Cellars, T2 Cellars, Truth Teller Winery, Uva Furem Winery, Vinos Penguinos, and William Grassie Wine Estates. This event is presented in partnership with Seattle Urban Wineries.
