“Greetings!”
Directly from the Yakima Valley Vintners!
We are excited and looking forward to the 2025 French Market and Wine Release. I for my part in being present to draw caricatures for anyone wishing to order one, and Annette for the fact she and her team have assembled quite an amazing entourage of vendors (including myself :-D ) so — please feel free to come by Friday evening for a beautiful evening, an eventful and memborable night!
It looks like the weather is going to be PERFECT 76 degrees with a slight breeze and by 5:00pm over half of the market will be in shade.
As they mention in their outreach, “We are expecting it to be busy, and the buzz around the tasting room and Yakima campus is BUZZ’n!"
We have a full market and we are looking forward to a great evening celebrating our community.
CHEERS!”
Oh! Did I mention — the first three caricatures are FREE!
