Grape to Glass Gala

The Vineyard and Winery Technology Program at Yakima Valley College will host the 16th Annual Grape to Glass Gala — Scholarship Fundraiser on Saturday, May 17, at 6 p.m. The festive event raises funds for vineyard and winery technology student scholarships. Held at the YVC’s Kaminski Conference Center, 1704 W. Nob Hill Blvd. in Yakima, the event will include a dinner, beer and wine tasting, live music and a silent auction.

The winemaker’s dinner will include a gourmet meal prepared by The Lion Chef and a dessert auction by Scratch Bakery. This year’s event theme is “African Safari” and features a dinner paired with wines from YVC’s award-winning Yakima Valley Vintners as well as a happy hour with offerings created by alumni of YVC’s program working at Treveri Cellars, Wheel Line Cider and more. In collaboration with the YV-Tech Culinary Arts Program, YV-Tech students will assist the caterer with dinner service and YVC students will serve wine.
