Wine Country Weddings
We’re almost ready to launch the brand new Wine Country Weddings website! We’ve been hard at work curating information from all our members to create a showcase of the Yakima Valley as a wine country weddings destination. This website will be a rich source of information targeting a valuable niche audience for our Yakima Valley Tourism members. We will also use it as a promotional tool to share with writers and wedding-related media. We’re excited to share this project with you. Watch your inbox later this week for a link to the prototype. Take a look at the site and review how your business is featured. If you would like to contribute more information or photography we’d love to have it. Email stephanie@visityakima.com for more details.
Craft Beverage Experiences
 If you offer educational or sensory experiences for visitors to your facilities, we’d love to share them on social media. This could be about tasting, wine-making and brewing or around food pairings. We want to promote the creative ways our wineries and breweries make a trip to the Valley a great experience. Of course, we always need photos with posts we share on social media, so send them to jennifer@visityakima.com with information about your educational and sensory experiences.
