The Little Hopper Grapevine Tours<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 We all know and love the Little Hopper as Yakima Valley\u2019s craft beer bus, but this year they launched their brand new Grapevine Wine Tours<\/strong>. With the same comfortable ride and knowledgeable, entertaining guides, you can sit back and enjoy. Book your spot on one of their scheduled Friday or Saturday\/Sunday wine tours. Enjoy a curated tour of two to three upper Yakima Valley wineries on Fridays or four wineries, including Zillah, Prosser and Red Mountain, on Saturdays and Sundays. You can also schedule private or corporate tours with the itinerary of your choice as well as special event transportation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kickstand Tours<\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 The folks at Kickstand Tours are ready to take you on an expertly led e-bike tasting tour. Their comfortable bikes make for an easy ride through beautiful wine country with at least three Zillah\/Rattlesnake Hills, Prosser or Red Mountain winery stops. Each trip takes about five hours and includes a lunch stop (lunch not included in cost) and a support vehicle to follow along and collect your purchases along the way. If you don\u2019t find a pre-scheduled Zillal area tour, they\u2019re happy to plan private tours for your group. They don\u2019t require a minimum number of riders and you can have them curate your tour or choose your own winery stops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
