The Bite of PhinneyWood debuted in 2022 with the goal of showcasing 20 of the amazing restaurants and cafes in the Phinney-Greenwood neighborhood. It is wildly popular and has sold out each year, for good reason. This year Piano Nobile is an official sponsor! We are partnering with the wonderful Cole Sisson of Doe Bay Wine Company to showcase a special selection of their wines in our gallery. Doe Bay has a tasting room right up the street, and we love their selection of “fine wine from small places”. Our open studio event continues throughout the event, so you can sip wine, shop our studio, and have fun! Unlike the Artwalk, this is a ticketed event, so get your tickets here.
