Local Residents Invited to Free Wine Education Event at Yakima Valley College

Yakima Valley College's Teaching Winery, Yakima Valley Vintners, and students from the Vineyard and Winery Technology Program are hosting an open house. This free event, Teach, Tour & Taste, will be held on Friday, April 12, 2024, from 5-7 p.m. Attendees will have the chance to learn about local grapes and wines, tour the winery, and sample student-made, award-winning wines.

Esmeralda Cruz, a program student, shared her enthusiasm for winemaking and the knowledge she's gained. She highlighted the unique story and personal touch behind each wine.

Trent Ball, an instructor, sees the event as an opportunity for the community and industry to appreciate the students' work. The Teaching Winery has been a part of the Yakima Valley and Washington State's wine industry for almost 20 years, earning many awards since its first student-made wines in 2008.

Yakima Valley Vintners wines will be available for purchase at the event. The event is open to all ages, with tours and educational activities available. However, only those 21 and older with valid ID can participate in the wine tasting.
