The city’s premier “tasting” event, the Seattle Wine and Food Experience (SWFE), returns for a seventh year, Sunday, February 22, 2015 (12-5 pm VIP, 1-5 pm General Admission) at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall. New to this year’s SWFE is a Saturday night kickoff event hosted by Seattle magazine. POP! Bubbles & Seafood will feature the Pacific Northwest’s bounty of seafood from local fish and shellfish providers and a dozen chefs paired with Champagne, sparkling wine, cider and beer. Get the most out of this “tasting” weekend and attend both events with the SWFE BIG ticket package, a $125 value.
“We are excited to expand the weekend with the addition of POP! Bubbles & Seafood and bring a high caliber of restaurants together to highlight the abundance of great regional seafood.” Said Jamie Peha, owner of Peha Promotions and producer of SWFE. “The POP! event will be housed in a deluxe tent, equipped with chandeliers and heating, adjacent to the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall. The tent is duo-purpose and will serve as an additional VIP lounge area on Sunday during the main event.”
SWFE is the largest event in the area that offers a wide range of food and beverage from the West Coast and beyond. “What really sets SWFE apart from other food and wine event are the carefully crafted experiences within the event,” said Peha.
