Taste & Trek Spokane: Where the Trail Meets the Table: September 26–28, 2025

Something new is coming to Spokane this fall—and it’s rooted in flavor, movement, and meaningful connection. Taste & Trek Spokane is a three-day celebration that brings together the best of our region’s food, wine, trails, and untold stories. From September 26–28, join us for an immersive weekend of guided experiences that highlight both the vibrant culture of the city and the natural beauty that surrounds it.

Each day offers multiple ways to experience Spokane—whether through curated tastings downtown, guided hikes led by local experts, or tours that blend the city and the wild in one powerful journey. Taste & Trek is designed to be both grounded and elevated, deeply local, and completely unique.

Why Taste & Trek? Because Spokane is layered, surprising, and full of stories waiting to be shared. We created Taste & Trek to slow things down, deepen connection, and spotlight the people and places that make this region shine.

We believe in:

• Supporting all local voices—from small businesses to nonprofits to creatives, educators, and culture keepers

• Uplifting stories that don’t always get heard

• Exploring the relationship between city and land, flavor and movement, past and future

• Creating something real, grounded, and community-driven

Taste & Trek is not just an event. It’s a celebration of Spokane—raw, refined, and ready to be experienced in a whole new way.

Taste. Trek. Connect. Repeat.
