Upcoming Events

President’s Dinner | Wednesday, August 12th

 

On Wednesday August 12th, we will be sponsoring a special event a Crafted Restaurant to honor the past presidents of YES. Formal invitations have been sent to all the past presidents we could identify, and they will be our special guests for the evening. Crafted is opening this evening just for this event. Their address is 22 N. 1st Street, Yakima.

 

We will have a no-host cocktail hour from 5:30 to 6:30. Seating in the main dining area will not be available until 6:15, but please come early and have a drink in the bar area. Dinner will be served starting at 6:30 and will consist of six or seven courses, served family style. We are strictly limited to only 60 people. So please make your reservations early. This dinner is part of our 50th Anniversary Year celebration and should be a great evening. The wines for the evening will be provided by Chateau Ste. Michelle. They are also celebrating their 50th year, as their facility in Woodinville was completed and the name was changed from Ste. Michelle Vineyards to Chateau Ste. Michelle, the same year as the Yakima Enological Society was formed.

 

The cost of the event is $120 per person for YES members and $130 for non-members. A special price has been given to all past presidents and their spouses or significant others. We expect this event will sell out so get your registrations in early. Dan and Mollie Koommoo are committed to making this a special evening for all.

Cruising the Columbia| Saturday, September 19th

 

We are happy to announce our second cruise on the Columbia River, set for Saturday, September 19th. Our first cruise with “Water2Wine” last year in September was so popular and a sell out that we decided to book a second trip. We will be cruising the Columbia River for 3 1/5 hours on the West Star (a 74-foot yacht) from “Water2Wine” with great food, fine wines and a no host bar on the second level.

We are still finalizing the menu and the wine pairings, so look for more information in next month’s newsletter. We will spend an hour enjoying the views, wines and cocktails prior to sitting down for lunch at 1:00pm. This year wine will be served at each table, which will be much more convenient for us.

We will again be joined by a fun group from the Tri-Cities, “Women Who Wine”, who cruised with us last year and also went to Canada with us in 2024.

The West Star will depart from The Columbia Point Marina, 660 Columbia Point Drive, at 12:00pm and will return to shore at 3:30pm. YES will not provide transportation to the Tri-Cities for this event. Mark your calendar and remember this is a Saturday event on September 19th.
