Yakima Valley – Sip & Savor Where Washington Wine was Born

Touring and tasting in Yakima Valley Wine Country is a unique experience where anyone, from novices to wine experts alike, can feel comfortable. Come as you are to discover world-class wines in relaxed tasting rooms from boutique gathering places and contemporary spaces to grand estates nestled amongst the vineyards. Most Yakima Valley wineries are family-owned and operated, producing premium wines from the ground up. They’re ready to open their doors to share their passion for the craft and you just might find yourself sipping with the winemakers themselves or taking a stroll through the vineyard.
Take time to taste the five individual wine-producing regions within the Yakima Valley, each with its own unique character. Make your trip special with a unique tour. Leave the driving to The Little Hopper’s Grapevine tour bus, book an e-bike wine tasting tour with Kickstand Tours or take a horseback winery tour with Red Mountain Trails.
The Flavors of the Valley
Between wine tastings, leave time for some local fare and enjoy tasty bites at the wineries, from wood-fired pizza and wine country fare to sweet treats. With more than 3,000 farms calling the Yakima Valley home, farm-fresh means something at local restaurants! Take a drive up the Yakima River Canyon for a leisurely waterside lunch at Canyon River Grill. Hit up one of the locals’ favorite food trucks or kick back in the hop yard at HopTown Wood-Fired Pizza and raise a glass from their self-serve Airstream waterin’ hole. Check out other local flavors.
Raise a Glass in the Home of the Hops
Don’t forget the Yakima Valley grows more than grapes! It’s also one of the largest hop-producing regions in the world. Travel more than 20 stops on the Hop Country Craft Beer Trail. You might just find your next favorite craft beer, crafted from hops harvested minutes away.
