“We are once again thrilled to partner with the Clore Center on the annual Rising Stars tasting experience,” says publisher John Vitale. “This is a must-attend pouring event for newer bonded wineries and a chance for them to gain recognition among some of the most avid consumers and fans of Washington wine.”
This walking tasting event runs from 1pm-4pm and gives guests the opportunity to taste wines from up-and-coming wineries from all over the state. Each guest receives a commemorative wine glass for tasting, a snack tray, and a wine tote to take home their favorite bottles of the day.
“The inaugural Rising Stars was a huge success, and we are excited to make it an annual event,” says Abbey Cameron, executive director for the Clore Center. “Supporting these young wineries by creating an opportunity for them to meet new consumers is the heart of our mission at the Clore Center. We hope everyone who attends finds a few new wines to take home and enjoy!”

Clore, the Walter Clore Wine and Culinary Center is a centrally located, must-see learning center that promotes Washington State wine and food by actively engaging visitors to experience and realize the quality and diversity of Washington’s wine and food products. Dr. Clore began his life’s work in 1937 studying vinifera grapes and their potential for growth in Washington soils. His research, a cornerstone of the industry’s development, earned him official recognition from the Washington State Legislature as the “Father of the Washington Wine Industry.”
