$35 for Members; $45 for non-membersJoin us for the first event in our new series, The Art of Wine—a special Museum wine tasting event featuring Austin Corley, wine educator & storyteller, that connects art and wine through a curator-led discussion and wine tasting showcase.
This inaugural evening in conjunction with the current exhibition, Women of the Pacific Northwest, features a showcase of woman-owned and woman-led wineries in Washington and Oregon, highlighting the resilience, innovation, and artistry shaping the modern American wine landscape. Featuring selections such as SMAK Wines of Walla Walla, crafted entirely by women and built on a philosophy of sensory storytelling through seasonal rosés and thoughtful winemaking.
Paired with artwork that reflects nature, landscape, and identity, this experience highlights how climate, struggle, terrain, and gender all shape expression—on canvas and in the glass.
