Visiting the valley is an authentic agricultural experience, home to countless family farms, orchards, and vineyards.

The valley also produces 75% of the nation’s hops, 70% of the nation’s apples, and is an important agricultural region for many other fruits and vegetables. No matter what you’re looking for, we can’t wait for you to plan your visit to Yakima.

Staying in Yakima Wine Country
The City of Yakima is located at the beginning of the Valley, for those coming from Seattle. From there, the Valley spans East towards Wapato, Zillah, Sunnyside, Prosser, and Benton City. Most of the wineries are in the valley rather than in downtown Yakima. However, Yakima city makes for a good location to use as home base for exploring the area.
