YOU'RE THE EXPERT

John Cooper, CEO and President of Yakima Valley Tourism says the annual awards are decided through public voting between "20 regions in the U.S. selected by a panel of wine experts and journalists." More than 90 wineries call the Yakima Valley home with many award winning wines year after year. Cooper says all those wineries call the valley home because of the many benefits of living and making wine in the sun filled Yakima area.

SPOTLIGHTING THE VALLEY

Cooper says the Yakima Valley is renowned for its beautiful landscapes and ideal grape-growing climate that produce a variety of award-winning wines.
He says it also puts the spotlight on things that make the Yakima Valley a desirable wine region including "climate, outdoor amenities, farm fresh experiences, fine dining, culture and the arts."

LET'S VOTE NOW

As you know, Yakima Valley Tourism organized a successful campaign last year to get the Yakima Valley voted Best Wine Region. Twenty regions are nominated but only ten are recognized. Vote now.
