• Pike Place Market - This adventure combines a walking tour, a tasting lab, and a playful exploration. Participants will journey through Pike Place Market with a knowledgeable guide, pausing to taste carefully chosen foods that demonstrate essential flavor principles used by chefs and sommeliers.

Instead of merely tasting wine and food side by side, participants are led through a progressive flavor journey—discovering how sweetness, acidity, salt, fat, herbs, and sour elements influence the palate and alter the perception of wine.

The experience concludes at White Heron Cellars’ tasting room, where participants apply their newfound knowledge in a distinctive, interactive wine tasting with views of Puget Sound. Through lighthearted prompts, challenges, and sensory cues, participants engage in a gamified flavor experiment that enhances understanding while ensuring the experience is enjoyable, social, and unforgettable.

This is not a lecture—it’s an immersive, engaging tasting experience designed to surprise even the most experienced wine enthusiasts.
