Centific Locwalk with GlobalSake
Join us for a special Flow LocWalk in partnership with GlobalSake, where localization, culture, and craftsmanship meet in one of the most beautiful corners of the Pacific Northwest.
We’ll start our afternoon with a relaxed walk along the Sammamish River Trail, surrounded by fall colors and flowing water — a reminder that meaning, like language, moves and adapts with its surroundings. Our path will lead us to a Woodinville winery, where we’ll share a guided tasting, good conversation, and a few reflections on the nature of nuance.
The theme of this LocWalk is “Cultural Nuance in Nature and Craft.” In winemaking, the term terroir describes how soil, climate, and tradition shape the flavor and identity of a wine — the subtle characteristics that make each bottle unique. In localization, terroir is what we strive to capture when we bring culture, emotion, and context into global experiences.
This gathering is a chance to slow down, connect, and explore nuance together — through conversation, nature, and a shared appreciation for craft. You’ll walk, talk, taste, and leave with new friends and a fresh perspective on how culture shapes everything we create.
Space is limited — please register early to reserve your spot.
Participation includes the guided walk and a tasting flight with light bites.
We’ll meet at: Peace Pole at Wilmot Gateway Park (Woodinville, WA)
Duration: ~3.5 hours (easy pace, paved trail)
Bring: Comfortable shoes, a light jacket, and curiosity
