El Gaucho will provide an afternoon of live entertainment while sipping and sampling the offerings of some of the region’s best restaurants and wineries at the first Pour on the Plaza.

Set for Saturday, August 8 from 2 to 5 p.m., Pour on the Plaza will take place at the City Center Plaza’s (450 108th Ave. NE, Bellevue) large garden-like outdoor area, in the heart of downtown Bellevue’s Financial District.

Cost is $95 per person and reservations can be made at the restaurant’s reservation page, www.elgaucho.com/elgaucho/_bellevue/reservations.htm, or by calling 425-255-2715. Validated self-parking is available in City Center Plaza Garage and guests must be 21 years or older.

“There aren’t many elite food and wine events in downtown Bellevue,” says Mackay Restaurant Group COO Chad Mackay. “When we moved in last winter, we saw that beautiful grassy plaza area and knew City Center Plaza was the perfect spot to have a summer food and wine event. It’s the perfect size and so convenient for us—it’s right out our front door!”

Partnering wineries pouring at the event include:

Alexandria Nicole Cellars, Andrew Will, Barons V, Cadence Winery, Chateau Ste Michelle, DeLille Cellars, Domaine Drouhin, Dunham Cellars, Fidelitas, Gorman Winery, L’Ecole, Long Shadows, Mark Ryan Winery, Novelty Hill, Pepper Bridge, Sparkman Cellars, Va Piano Vineyards and Woodward Canyon.

El Gaucho will be serving up its signature 28-day Certified Angus Beef. Additional partnering restaurants include: Grand Cru, The Melting Pot and Wild Ginger.
