The Seattle Wine and Food Experience (SWFE) weekend returns February 20 & 21. The epicurean weekend kicks off with the 2nd Annual Pop! Bubbles & Seafood event on Saturday night at the elegant McCaw Hall. Pop! features the Pacific Northwest’s bounty of seafood paired with sparkling wines, Champagne, craft beer, cider and seafood-friendly white wines.

The event benefits Les Dames d’Escoffier Seattle, a 501c3 non-profit organization of women leaders in food, beverage and hospitality whose mission is education, advocacy, and philanthropy. Les Dames d’Escoffier Seattle focuses on raising funds for scholarships for women in the culinary, beverage, and hospitality industries, and also supports community-outreach programs and sustainable-agriculture projects based in Washington state.
