A WEEKEND OF WINE
Marshall Crook

13 November 2007
For aspiring sommeliers, or those who just enjoy wine, the Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite is offering its annual Winemaster’s Weekend, Feb. 29 to March 2. Activities include Saturday workshops — including one on pairing food and wine, and another on international styles of Pinot Noir — a wine-blending competition, two wine receptions and a five-course dinner.
The event is organized in conjunction with the Department of Viticulture and Enology of California State University, Fresno. Cost is $656 for two based on double occupancy. The resort is two-miles south of the National Park in Fish Camp, Calif. For information, and an early-bird booking discount, visit http://www.tenayalodge.com/.
I am so glad that there’s finally a place I can go to plan for my vacations in this beautiful area. Your articles are a great help, and I’m really excited to know about the wine workshops. I love good wine and learning to appreciate it from the professionals is great stuff!

I have been looking for a good place for my wife and I to go and get a little education on wine for quite some time. This sounds like it will be right up my alley. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for the info! I’ve been thinking about getting into wine tasting, and this looks like the perfect opportunity.

While I’m enjoying 99% warmth for most of the year, I will miss sorely miss this festival. On my way home from work, I have seen a wine tasting class that is in the middle of the week. Probably something you cats from the sommeliers are into. Anyway, wish I was part of the festivities. Has anyone checked on the competitive rate for the room and how many years has this been going on? A community needs to form to lower these rates with gas prices it is the way today.
