Fun-filled community event comes to Issaquah

A popular annual event is set to return to Issaquah.

The Rotary Club of Issaquah is the hosts of the upcoming Grape Escape 2026, a fundraising event that will be held at the Pickering Barn.

The event features great food and wine provided by Washington distillers, brewers, and vintners. Along with the beverages, local restaurants will provide a wide selection of their signature dishes. In addition to food and drink, a wine pull, silent auction, and more are scheduled.

All the money raised goes back into the local community via the programs supported by the Rotary Club. These include the Issaquah Food Bank, community grant programs that benefit other non-profits in the local area, and scholarships for local high school students heading to college.

The vendors thus far committed to the 2026 event are Nothing Bundt Cakes, Masthi Bar & Grill, Lodgepole Distilling, Duvall Distillery, Cave B Wines, 2205 Wine Company, and Alveare Winery. More food and drink purveyors are expected to sign up as the event draws closer.

The motto of the evening is “Eat good food. Drink good wine. Do good work.” Grape Escape is perfect for wine connoisseurs, foodies, and anyone who wants to enjoy a night out is scheduled for May 6, from 5.30 pm until 8.30 pm. The Pickering Barn is located at 1730 10th Avenue Northwest. Events like this benefit when organizers use poster printing to create advertising for them.
