It’s been great to see some favorite local events coming back. Phil Megenhardt, Creative Director, and Ross Holtrop, Beverage Extraordinaire from Kirkland Uncorked joined the show today. Uncorked runs from Friday, August 27th – Sunday August 29th and features many local wineries, a street fair, live music, food trucks, and more! The best part it’s all for a good cause to help raise money for Homeward Pet Adoption Center, one of Washington State’s leading non-profit, no-kill animal shelters
Located at the Kirkland Marina Park it’s the perfect spot to take in the picturesque view, relax on the beach, or lawn and experience 75 + of some of the very best Washington Wines. Partnering with HPAC to raise money for their organization this three day event is full of fun activities for all ages, family, and your dogs too!
The festival is free to attend, with the option to purchase tickets for their wine garden. Pro-tip on purchasing tickets – if you stop by any local QFC and purchase a $30.00 ticket from them you get 4 extra tastings for free! You don’t have to be a wine expert to enjoy this three day event, Kirkland Uncorked has something for everyone. For the beer and cocktail enthusiast you can check out their beer and cocktail garden, this year featuring their signature cocktails a refreshing Gin & Tonic made with Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin.
