Yakima Valley Wine Competition

Yakima Valley Wine Competition

We are proud to introduce the inaugural Yakima Valley Wine Competition.

This blind judging of wines made by Yakima Valley wineries is a scholarship competition and will benefit future winemakers by providing funds for viticulture and enology students at the Yakima Valley Community College.

Date

May 16, 2013

Location

Yakima Valley Community College, Grandview

Cost to enter

$50 per entry. There will be no shipping costs, as we will pick up all entries.

Free ‘shipping’

To make it easier and more cost-effective for you, we will pick up your wine the day before the competition. Or you can choose to drop it off at the college.

Moderators

Eric Degerman and Andy Perdue

Eligible wines

  • Any winery that is physically located (production facility or tasting room) in the Yakima Valley AVA may enter this competition.
  • The wines may come from any AVA. For example, a Prosser winery using grapes from the Horse Heaven Hills or Columbia Valley may enter those wines.
