The host and emcee of the event will again be Cole Danehower, author of Essential Wines and Wineries of the Pacific Northwest: A Guide to the Wine Countries of Washington, Oregon, British Columbia, and Idaho and publisher of Northwest Palate magazine. The auctioneer this year is a Columbia Gorge favorite, Marcus Morgan.
Featured wineries include Coyote Canyon, Phelps Creek, Willamette Valley Vineyards, Ste. Michelle, and Domaine Ste. Michelle. See the Featured Wineries page for a complete list.
Guests will enjoy delicious locally grown foods, prepared at the height of their seasons by Chef Mark DeResta of the Hood River Inn. The wonderful Painted Hills Natural Beef is generously donating their Northwest and sustainably grown beef to be grilled for our main entrée—the evening promises to be savory treat!
This year's silent auction will be even larger with tons of goodies and the oral auction promises repeat favorites and some new bidding opportunities. Among the items being offered is the Commemorative Magnum—this year featuring a watercolor drawing of the Mary and Bruce Stevenson wing by Craig Holmes.
Tickets are $100 each and are available for purchase by calling 509 773-3733 or contacting Sandra Williams or online (PayPal).
