Wine Tasting, in the vineyards. Head over the mountains into Eastern Washington, leaving the rainy coastal climate of Seattle for the sun-drenched desert hills of the Yakima and Columbia valleys. You'll see lush evergreen forests and semi-arid sagebrush on this interesting travel route to the wine country. Your guide will pick you up at your agreed upon location and head east toward the Cascades. Sample wines from each of 3 wineries, noting the differences in each glass by the area's distinctive features, from soil and terrain to sun exposure and rainfall. You may pick 2 wineries in the area (not too far out of the way), or we have some pre-set ones that are popular. Stop along the way to complement your tastings with a tasty lunch, or enjoy the food offerings at the wineries.

What To Expect
Snoqualmie Pass
On the way, you’ll be driven through Snoqualmie Pass, a wonderful Cascade Mountain Pass with a ski resort at the top and a lot of trees: Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, and Hemlock. Once over the pass on the East side, you’ll see Pine Trees instead, due to the change in the climate.

Yakima Valley is known for its produce and grape growing. Here, 74% of America’s hops are grown. Add in corn, apples, cherries, apricots, wheat, tomatoes and more, it’s a happening place.

Manastash Ridge
This unusual mountainous area is also called the Yakima Fold Belt. If you like diverse scenery, this is the tour for you. The ridges and terrain are difficult to describe but the word Folds give you some idea. Compare to Snoqualmie Pass and it’s really a sightseers paradise.

VanArnam Vineyards
My favorite winery in Yakima, though there are so very many good ones in E. Washington is one of the 3 stops we make to sample the wines. The beautiful land, vineyards, and chateau are just so peaceful and relaxing. The charcuterie board and food offerings are really nice as well.as the wine.
