HOTEL VINTAGE PARK REDEDICATES GUESTROOMS TO WASHINGTON STATE WINERIES
SEATTLE – In celebration of Taste Washington Wine Month this March, Hotel Vintage Park announces the rededication of 18 guestrooms in honor of Washington State wineries and vineyards.
“It is an honor to have some of the greatest wineries and vineyards of Washington State represented at Hotel Vintage Park,†said Hotel Vintage Park General Manager Sandy Burkett. “The rededication of our guestrooms reflects the dynamic nature of the wine industry and our commitment to supporting it.â€
The wineries and vineyards that will be rededicating guestrooms include Bergevin Lane Vineyards, Silverlake Winery, Hoodsport Winery, Tamarack Cellars, Amavi Cellars, Pepper Bridge Winder, Wind Rover Cellars, Basal Cellars, Glen Fiona, Yakima Cellars, and Hedges Cellars. As part of the room rededication ceremonies, winery representatives will contribute new vineyard memorabilia to update the look of the guestroom that is dedicated to their winery. New artwork reflecting the wineries will be added to the rooms and winery representatives will host evening wine receptions at the hotel. Open to the public, admission is $5 for each winery-hosted wine reception and free to hotel guests.
