Happy Valley Ranch Yakima Wine & Soft-Fruit Press
Press grapes and other soft fruit at a tabletop scale without buying a combined apple grinder and press. The Yakima uses a hand-operated screw and compact hardwood tub for small batches of juice or wine-making fruit.
Choose the right setup for your harvest
Choose the Yakima for grapes and other soft fruit. It has no grinder and is not designed to grind or crush apples. If you plan to work with apples, choose equipment intended for grinding and pressing that fruit rather than assuming this compact wine press performs both jobs.
