Thanksgiving in the Wine Country 2008

Be a part of this Northwest Tradition!
Wine Tour

For the first time ever, Clipper Vacations is offering a unique opportunity to participate in this Northwest tradition. Yakima Valley wineries are opening their doors following Thanksgiving to celebrate the season, so come with us to sample the finest wines and carefully selected culinary pairings (at select wineries only). And the best part of the trip is that we do the driving, so you don't worry about navigating from winery to winery.

After boarding your deluxe motorcoach, you'll travel over the beautiful Cascade mountains and into Yakima Valley - home to more than 75 of Washington's best wineries! Your tour guide will provide a narration en-route when you will learn about this beautiful wine region before stepping off the coach and sampling a variety of vintages. You can learn more about the making and serving of wine at several of the wineries you will visit. Experience a fun-filled day of wine tasting at some of the best wineries in the Northwest! And at the end of the day, sit back and relax as you journey back over the mountains and back into the Seattle area.
