Life can present some tough choices: Chocolate or cheese? Beer or wine? Popcorn or pickles? At Taste of the Sound, the answer is yes, please, to all of the above, as dozens of local makers gather at Fishermen’s Terminal to showcase the best Washington specialty foods and beverages, plus natural products like soap and skin care.

Every ticket includes tastings from more than 75 Washington food and drink producers — including beer, wine and spirits. Upgraded ticket packages add a full-pour drink and a curated food bundle, or you can buy full pours throughout the evening at the onsite bar. One you find your favorites, stock up on supplies (or get an early start on holiday shopping) directly from the producers. Provision your bar at the event-exclusive bottle shop, where wine, beer and cider are tax-free.

For ideas on what to do with all this local bounty, don’t miss the live cooking demonstrations from Zach Pacleb of Pidgin Cooperative and Carly Byung-Ho of Okii LLC, among other local chefs.

For a hyper-local focus during your sampling session, check out the Seattle Made Bay, where you’ll find passionate members of the Seattle Made community — it is Seattle Made Week (Sept. 11-20), after all.
