Sip and Stroll at the Old Bellevue Wine Walk

The Old Bellevue Wine Walk is returning on September 15, 2022, after a two-year hiatus, showcasing 15 local wineries at popular downtown businesses, starting at 5:00 p.m. This beloved event, organized by the Old Main Street Merchants Association and Seattle Uncorked, aims to invigorate community engagement and support local merchants who have faced difficulties during the pandemic. Randi Brazen, a local business owner, highlights how the event, inspired by successful Kirkland Wine Walks, fosters community connections. Sommelier David LeClaire points out that such events help bridge the gap between customers and local shops, potentially boosting foot traffic and sales. The wine walk is now sold out, showcasing its popularity and community interest. Proceeds from the event will fund holiday light installations along Main Street, enhancing the festive atmosphere. This initiative reflects a collaborative spirit among local businesses to create a vibrant community. Attendees can expect an enjoyable evening of wine tasting while supporting their local economy.
