This year Yakima Valley grape growers and winemakers are celebrating their 30th anniversary as part of the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) established in the Pacific Northwest.
Spring Barrel tasting 26 – 28 April offers a chance to taste and purchase some of the best wines in the State. A visit this weekend allows visitors to sample yet-unfinished wines from the barrel. The Washington wine industry is a collection of creative people drawn from many different backgrounds and origins. The grape growers and winemakers live and work in small towns, where restored old homes, beautiful barns, and converted mills truly reflect the modern American west.
