Cashmere, WA — The Washington Wine Industry Foundation (WWIF) tees up its 13th Annual Wine Cup® Monday, July 15, 2013 at Meadow Springs Country Club in Richland. This year the Shotgun Scramble will begin at 9am for a cooler climate than previous years.
Wine industry supporters, golf fanatics, wine connoisseurs, and anyone who just wants to have fun are invited to get their foursome together for a rare opportunity on one of Washington’s top rated private courses.
During the day, golfers will enjoy 18 holes on the site of numerous, prestigious tournaments, including eleven years as a PGA tour site. Contests of the day include putting, closest to the pin, and the infamous cork chipping. Following the contests will be a wine reception, awards lunch, goody bag-give-away, and awarding of prizes, including a 5-day cruise for two for each member of the Low Gross winning team.
