Yakima Valley Getaway to Indulge in Wine and Chocolate

Seattle, WA – January 16, 2012 — Take your sweetheart on a Clipper Vacations one day excursion to the Yakima Valley for Red Wine and Chocolate. Why not indulge in some Red Wine and Chocolate this February 18th, and you can leave the driving to us.

The daytrip begins with a deluxe motor coach picking you up at a designated nearby location. Your continental breakfast basket will be on board for you to enjoy during a scenic, relaxing ride to the Yakima Valley, home to more than 75 wineries. Make it a perfect Valentine’s gift for your sweetheart, a girl’s getaway or take your friends for some time together. This tour also includes a knowledgeable tour escort to educate you about the wine region and a boxed lunch to enjoy along the way, later in the day. A commemorative, keepsake wineglass will also be yours to use for the tastings at the 4-5 wineries hand selected by Clipper Vacations and to take home.

You will spend the day visiting several wineries in the Yakima valley. Each winery will offer not only some tastings, but will pair some chocolate treats with a complementary red wine. If you choose, you can purchase product at the wineries you’ll visit – some are familiar labels, others are boutique wineries. There is plenty of space under the bus for as many cases as your want to bring back.

This popular event always proves to be a good time and is priced at $109.00 per person including tax, tour escort, continental breakfast basket, box lunch and deluxe motor coach transfer Seattle or Bellevue. You must be 21 or older to participate.
