Fall Sipping and Shopping
What better way to prepare for the busy holiday season than a relaxing road trip to Yakima Valley wine country? Why visit this time of year? Crisp fall days with clear, blue skies are perfect for wine tasting in beautiful, cozy Yakima Valley tasting rooms. Wine country also has a slower pace this time of year and you’ll find fewer visitors at the tasting bars. The excitement and activity of crush has passed and winemakers are busy behind the scenes perfecting the next great vintage while the peace of fall fills the Valley.

Let’s make the most of next few weeks before some wineries take a winter break or shift to winter hours!
