Meetings and Events
The WAC Wine Club offers a year-round calendar of tastings and wine-centered events for Washington Athletic Club members.
Our tasting meetings are held six times each year, typically on the second Thursday of September, November, January, March, May, and June. Unless otherwise noted, meetings take place at the WAC and begin with a social tasting at 6:00 PM, followed by a guided presentation and discussion of the featured wines from 6:30 to 7:30 PM.
In addition to regular tasting meetings, the club also presents occasional special events, including winemaker presentations, educational programs, dinners, and other wine experiences.
Please see the listings below for upcoming events. For a look at past tastings and featured programs, explore the Past Tastings and Events section further below.
March 12, 2026 - Tasting Meeting
Join us this March as we welcome Stephanie Cohen, the winemaker behind the legendary Col Solare. Since its inception, Col Solare has helped define the pinnacle of Washington State winemaking. Stephanie will share her inspiring professional journey as a trailblazing woman winemaker. This is a unique opportunity to get a behind-the-barrel perspective at what it takes to craft world-class wines in Red Mountain from someone who is shaping the future of our state's most prestigious viticultural region.
The evening will feature a curated flight of six exceptional pours that showcase the breadth and depth of Red Mountain wines. We will begin with 2024 Collector's Rose, followed by the 2021 Collector's Malbec, a vertical comparison of the 2021 and 2022 Col Solare Cabernet Sauvignons, alongside the highly sought-after 2022 Tenuta Cabernet Sauvignon. We will round out the experience with the 2023 Col Solare Cabernet Franc - a special pre-release tasting exclusively for the WAC Wine Club.
Whether you are a seasoned collector or simply looking to expand your palate, this event promises an unforgettable blend of storytelling and tasting.
