If you enjoy attending northwest wine festivals as much as I do, I\u2019ve got a couple of recommendations for upcoming events that are certain to whet your appetite.<\/p>\n

For an excellent food and wine festival with a local flair, be sure to consider Bellingham Bay Rotary Club\u2019s Grape & Gourmet<\/strong> on November 4. This is one of the key fundraising events for the Club, and a portion of the proceeds are used to benefit local charitable organizations.<\/p>\n

Held at Bellingham\u2019s Best Western Lakeway Inn from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, this culinary delight will feature wines from over 30 regional wineries and gourmet foods from a number of local restaurants. <\/p>\n

I suggest purchasing the VIP ticket, which gets you in the door 1-1\/2 hours earlier at 5:00 pm. This provides you with a better opportunity to make sure you don\u2019t miss out on anything, and besides, who doesn\u2019t enjoy having VIP status?<\/p>\n

According to the Rotary web site, advance tickets can be purchased by phoning Mike Werner at 815-4269 or at BellinghamBayRotary.com. Regular tickets cost $75 and the VIP option will run you $125. <\/p>\n

\"null\"The Taste of Tulalip<\/strong> at the Tulalip Resort & Casino near Marysville is scheduled for November 9 and 10. Last year I suggested you mark your calendar and purchase your tickets in advance because this increasingly popular, top-of-the-line food and wine event will likely sell out.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s indeed the case with the multi-course Celebration Dinner slated for Friday, November 9 and the following day\u2019s all access pass. But there are still plenty of tickets available for the November 10 Grand Taste, which I think is the highlight of the weekend.<\/p>\n

I love this event because it includes some of Washington\u2019s premiere wineries \u2013 such as Abeja and Leonetti Cellars \u2013 which you\u2019re unlikely to find at any other public tasting.<\/p>\n

In addition to the 65 Washington wineries scheduled to be on hand there will also be a number of fine wines from Napa Valley, Oregon, Italy and France. For those who like to bend the elbow on an occasional pint of ale, a selection of craft beers from 14 regional breweries will also be on tap.<\/p>\n

The 5-hour Grand Taste begins at 2:30 pm and includes unlimited tasting along with a wide selection of cuisine prepared by the Resort\u2019s staff. Tickets are $85 in advance, $95 the day of the event, but don\u2019t expect them to last that long.
