Rypien Foundation

The Annual Winemakers' Dinner is an intimate dining experience unlike any other. Held at Manito Golf and Country Club, this gourmet dinner features the culinary excellence of Executive Chef Jim Wolters as he crafts a sumptuous five-course meal carefully paired with pre-selected, ultra-premium wines from two of Walla Walla Valley's premier wineries. 

Guests enjoy unique wine and food pairings, a chance to visit with the winemakers, premier silent and live auctions, and most importantly, an opportunity to raise a glass in helping the Rypien Foundation provide hope for local families battling childhood cancer.

The 9th Annual Winemakers' Dinner will be held on Saturday, March 9th, 2013 beginning at 6:00 pm at the Manito Golf and Country Club and will feature wines from Garrison Creek Cellars and Tero Estates.
