33rd Columbia Wine Tasting Will Be Celebrated on April 19th, 2009

Columbia, CA....One of the most popular events every spring in the Sierra foothills is the Columbia Wine Tasting – now in its 33rd year. Representatives from over 50 wineries will be represented at this year’s tasting at Columbia State Historic Park on Sunday, April 19th from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.....



Sponsored by the Columbia College Foundation, the well-attended event draws patrons not only locally but also from throughout the state. It’s a benefit for the Columbia College Culinary Program and proceeds go toward scholarships for deserving culinary students and purchases of essential program materials and equipment that otherwise would not be possible.

The college’s culinary program is accredited by the American Culinary Federation. The ACF is the national accrediting commission for culinary and pastry education programs at post-secondary institutions and secondary programs. “Accreditation gives our program its credibility,” said Gene Womble, the hospitality management program coordinator at the college. “It says that we meet or exceed the high standards set by the national organization. In fact, we can proudly claim that our culinary graduates can be found in successful careers throughout the culinary world.”

Those attending the wine tasting will also be treated to scrumptious hors d’oeuvres, prepared by local food purveyors. That includes the Columbia College culinary students, who continually try to outdo their tasty creations from each previous year.

Most of all, the Columbia Wine Tasting is the way to spend an enjoyable afternoon strolling through one of California’s famous historic state parks, a completely restored gold rush-era mining town. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served at several convenient tasting stations located on the park grounds.

Event tickets are $45 each and available through a message phone at (209) 588-5089. Information and printable reservations forms can be found online at gocolumbia.edu/Foundation -- then click on “Foundation Upcoming Events.” Interested individuals can also contact the Columbia College Foundation, 11600 Columbia College Drive, Sonora, CA 95370.

Columbia State Historic Park is located just outside the city of Sonora off Highway 49 between the San Francisco Bay Area and Yosemite National Park.
