Yakima, WA — With so much to be thankful for, Yakima Valley wineries open their doors following Thanksgiving to celebrate the season. When you go wine touring during Thanksgiving from Friday, November 28 through Sunday, November 30, 2014, you can taste wine and help fight hunger at the same time with Wine Yakima Valley’s ‘Taste to Fight Hunger’ campaign.
In the past, tickets were required for this annual event, but this year most of the participating wineries are only asking for a donation (at the Taste to Fight Hunger receptacle found at each winery). You can find a list of participating wineries and details of what each winery is offering at www.wineyakimavalley.org. All proceeds from the donations will be donated to Northwest Harvest.
After the feast, leave your leftovers at home and hit the Yakima Valley to taste new releases paired with excellent homemade foods, from spicy Italian salami to rich pumpkin mousse. Stock up on holiday wine with select wineries offering case discounts and enjoy food and wine pairings to help you find the perfect wine for any meal or dinner party.
Thanksgiving in Wine Country showcases wines from more than 40 Yakima Valley wineries and for many, it’s the last chance to taste before tasting rooms close for the season. Gather friends and family and participate in this holiday tradition.
