GiddyUp Tours has launched its new website! Check out www.giddyuptours.com.  Additional content and beautiful photos of the Yakima Valley are sure to entice riders to book a tour through wine country.

Our class just won a silver at our first wine festival

The winemaking class at YVCC just won a silver award for our rose. The wine bears a label design that I am proud to say came from our class. I did the front graphics and other classmates did the tasting notes on the back.  It is so fun to name a wine and watch it earn awards for what is in the bottle! Check out Yakima Valley Vintners “Teachers Pet”, rose wine made from cofermented Mourvedre and Viogner.

The awards are lsited on a great blog, Wine Press Northwest. Way to class! And thanks so much to Mark Wysling of Parejas Cellars who directed our class in making this wine. And thanks to our prof, Trent Ball at YVCC for keeping us on track and Naches Heights Vineyards for the grapes.
