Have you ever wished you could combine two enjoyable activities — shopping and wine-tasting — so that you could stroll through the shops with a glass of your favorite red in hand?

At an all-new event by the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce, now you can do just that.

“Pours in Stores,” which will have its world premiere on the evening of Friday, June 23, allows attendees to taste a variety of beers, wines, ciders, spirits and light appetizers, all while perusing the shops of the Grand Ridge Plaza shopping center in the Issaquah Highlands.

A variant of the “Beat the Winter Brews Fest,” a yearly tradition since 2013, and the “Beat the Heat Summer Brews Fest,” which premiered in 2016, “Pours in Stores” provides the same lively atmosphere of drink tasting, shopping, live music and refreshments, but switches up the location from Gilman Village to Grand Ridge Plaza.

“We felt it was important to bring some exposure to the shops at Grand Ridge Plaza,” said Brian Twiggs, the chamber’s festivals director. “We’re excited to bring something to the Highlands.”

The chamber intends to make “Pours in Stores” an annual happening, like the two events off of which it is based, according to Twiggs.

Twelve Highlands businesses are participating as venues for drink tasting, including Agave Cocina and Tequilas, barre3, BevMo!, Chinoise Cafe, CityMac, Civilized Nature Pet Supplies, Frame Central, Issaquah Highlands Dental Group, La Boutique Jolie, Sip at the Wine Bar and Restaurant, Sorella Salon and Spa, and Soma Intimates.

A different brewery will be featured at each business. Local breweries include Big Block Brewing of Sammamish, Sigillo Cellars of Snoqualmie, Dru Bru of Snoqualmie Pass, Snoqualmie Brewery and Taproom, and Resonate Brewery and Pizzeria of Bellevue.

There will be live entertainment provided by local musicians. Twiggs said that the chamber hopes “to create a party atmosphere.”

Tickets are $30 and can be purchased on the chamber’s website at www.issaquahchamber.com/pours. Ticket purchase includes admission, six tasting tickets and a souvenir tasting glass.

Additional tasting tickets can be purchased at the event for $3 each. The event will run from 6-9 p.m.
