Piccola Cellars, a winery that focuses on wine-on-tap, has opened at 112 W. Second St., North Bend.
Hours are from 4-6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday and from 2-6 p.m. Sunday.
A grand opening celebration will be Sept. 20.
The winery, which already has a tasting room in Woodinville, recently moved into the old North Bend Fire Station. Rather than remodel the building, the roll-up doors used by the fire department are rolled up to welcome people when the winery is open.
Piccola is the first winery to open in North Bend. The addition of the tasting room is part of the city’s plan to develop a business core that encourages walking.
As part of its introduction to the city, the winery is offering $1 off a glass of wine to people who bring in a receipt from a local retailer. The receipt must be from the day you visit the winery.
Piccola sells 1.5-liter totes of its wines along with 1-liter growlers, like the beer industry. Growlers can be purchased and refilled.
Piccola partners with Victor Palencia, an award-winning winemaker from Walla Walla. The winery focuses on waste reduction with their wine-on-tap program, which eliminates 26 bottles for every small keg that it sells or pours.
The winery owners estimate that in the past four years, they have reduced bottle waste by 130,000 bottles.
