About
-
The Bellingham Northwest Wine Festival was organized by the Whatcom Beer & Wine Foundation in 2016 to promote wineries in the Pacific Northwest while raising funds for local and regional non-profit organizations.
-
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, it is unlikely that we will be able to hold our 2021 Wine Festival Grand Public Tasting. However, our 6th Annual Judged Competition will proceed as planned.
-
In addition, the Foundation is working on a weekend package of wine-related events, tentatively scheduled for September 3 to 5, 2021. Details to come!
