YES 50th Anniversary Summer BBQ & Wine Celebration | Wed. July 8th

 

Join us on Wednesday, July 8th at 6:00 PM at the beautiful Yakima Area Arboretum as we continue celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Yakima Enological Society—the oldest continually operating Enological Society in the Pacific Northwest. Gather with fellow wine lovers for an evening of great food, exceptional wines, and wonderful company in one of Yakima's most scenic settings.

​

Enjoy a delicious BBQ-style buffet featuring:

🔥 Beef Brisket
🔥 Pulled Pork
🔥 BBQ Chicken

Plus all the fixings to build your own sliders, along with:

• Corn on the Cob

• Grilled Asparagus

• Two Varieties of Baked Beans

• Potato Salad

• Coleslaw

• Fresh Fruit Platters

• Warm Peach Crisp with Ice Cream

​

Dinner will be paired with wines from:

🍇 Bonair Winery
🍇 Hyatt Vineyards
🍇 Thurston Wolfe Winery
🍇 Yakima Valley Vintners

 

Two of the featured wines have been specially produced and bottled for YES with commemorative labels celebrating our 50th Anniversary and will be available for purchase.

 

We're also pleased to welcome Shirley and Gail Puryear of Bonair Winery, who will share the story of their winery and their contributions to the Washington wine industry.

​

Each attendee will receive a Riedel crystal wine glass etched with the YES logo as a commemorative gift. (Please bring an additional wine glass to help avoid red and white wine crossover during the tasting.)
