Twenty-two Washington wineries will pour more than 75 wines across 18 Old Bellevue businesses on Thursday, Sept. 17, when the neighborhood's Fall Wine Walk returns to Main Street.

The event, organized by the Old Bellevue Merchants Association in collaboration with Seattle Uncorked, runs from 5:30 to 8 p.m. for general admission ticketholders and opens early at 4 p.m. for VIP guests, according to the Downtown Bellevue Network.

General admission costs $40 in advance and includes 12 tasting tickets, a wine tumbler and a four-bottle wine tote. VIP Early Entry runs $65 and adds access to curated bites at eight host locations between 4 and 5:30 p.m. The walk is 21-and-older only. Tickets are available at bit.ly/OBWW.

Live music is confirmed at Columbia Bank and 520 Bar & Grill, with additional entertainment possible before the event date, according to the announcement.

The Wine Walk doubles as a fundraiser for the OBMA, a nonprofit that channels proceeds into neighborhood beautification projects, free community events and Old Bellevue's annual winter lights display. According to the OBMA, the walk also drives foot traffic into the area's independently owned shops and restaurants, highlighting the small businesses that shape the neighborhood year-round.

The event traces its roots to 2016. Randi Brazen, owner of 520 Bar & Grill and an OBMA member, said in September 2022 when the walk returned after a pandemic-era pause: "Kirkland Wine Walks taught us how important it was to bring the community and merchants together. It's a great way to gather people out into the streets where they can sip and stroll with friends and neighbors."

Since that 2022 comeback with 15 wineries, the walk has grown steadily. The 2025 edition and the Spring 2026 walk each featured 21 wineries; this fall's lineup adds one more.

Check-in locations have not been confirmed for the fall edition. The Spring 2026 walk used ZenRock Fitness at 136 102nd Ave., Suite 101, and 520 Bar & Grill at 10146 Main St.
