Rattlesnake hills wine trail hires new director
Wine, Taxes and Two Shannon’s
(Zillah, WA): Join the Rattlesnake Hills Wine Trail Board of Directors in a toast celebrating the announcement of their new Executive Director Shannon Hitchcock and congratulating the achievements and dedication of outgoing Director Shannon Bird.
Bird started with the Rattlesnake Hills Wine Trail more than four years ago during its infancy and worked tirelessly to raise awareness for the wineries that belong to the association and educate consumers on the wonderful wines produced in the Rattlesnake Hills AVA. During her tenure Bird was instrumental in creating strategic partnerships with other tourism groups across the state to get more people visiting the Rattlesnake Hills and into tasting rooms. Bird, who owns three Liberty Tax Service offices in Yakima, is leaving to focus solely on her businesses.
“We are experiencing tremendous growth at Liberty and I need to be there full time to oversee the operations. Rattlesnake Hills Wine Trail requires a full time Director as well. It is with a heavy heart that I am leaving the organization but I am proud of where we’ve come in four years and I’m excited about what the future holds,” Bird said.
Hitchcock began her new role last week and brings fifteen years of marketing and communications experience to the group. A native of Washington, Hitchcock and her family have spent the last four years in Wyoming where she was the Sales and Marketing Director for the statewide newspaper.
“After four long winters in Wyoming we decided as a family we missed Washington. When I saw this position advertised online I immediately thought to myself “dream job!” I am thrilled to join this dynamic group of passionate wine makers and look forward to lots of hard work and laughs as we continue to tell the story of the outstanding wines and people found in the Rattlesnake Hills.”
“I am fortunate to step into this position following the leadership of Shannon (Bird). A strong foundation has been laid for the association. It is my job to build on that foundation and constantly monitor and evaluate our message and ensure we are communicating effectively with the public. The wines sell themselves, my job is to invite consumers into our tasting rooms by shouting from the roof tops on the value and superior quality they will find with Rattlesnake Hills Wine Trail wines,” Hitchcock said.
The Rattlesnake Hills Wine Trail, a nonprofit, 501(c)6 association for the 17 wineries within the Washington State Rattlesnake Hills AVA, is dedicated to providing a fun and educational tasting experience, offering wine tasting, vineyard tours, and entertaining events, and is open to the public year-round.
The Rattlesnake Hills is often referred to as the 'green' tour of the Yakima Valley. Situated in the low rolling hills, the Rattlesnake Hills Wine Trail takes you through some of the best orchard and vineyard land in the area. Each winery offers a unique setting in which to enjoy the fruit of the vine.

Ms. and Mr. Tall Discover Winery in the Yakima Valley
Looking eye to eye with all of his visitors to Piety Flats Winery, Jim Russi, going in at 6 feet 5 inches, greets his guests from the Ms. Tall convention held in Yakima Saturday night, May 15th. No one was heard saying—1. “How’s the weather up there?” 2. “Big guy" or 3. "Stretch.” None of which are insults, by the way.
As reported in the Yakima Herald, this group was truly a lot of fun.
L to R--- Dana Hartley (Mr. Tall)
