It’s the 300 days of sun that shines on the birthplace of Washington State's wine industry. It’s the aroma of freshly picked hops, drifting on the afternoon breeze. It’s the sense of wholesomeness you get from hand picking the vegetables your family will eat that night. This is what makes the Yakima Valley so special.
As the Yakima Valley's viticulture has matured over the last three decades, our winemakers are some of the most respected in the Northwest. With over 120 wineries and five AVA’s in just 70 miles, wine tasting in the Yakima Valley is a rewarding and unique experience.
