Freehand Cellars

Fodor's Choice

Established several miles south of Yakima in 2018 by a team of wine-loving architects, this stunning modern tasting room set on a hill with clear Mt. Adams views produces accessible Pinot Gris, Syrah, and several other balanced wines. The kitchen serves tasty flatbread pizzas and other wine-friendly fare, and the winery offers overnight stays in a couple of guest homes and a restored vintage Airstream. 

Gilbert Cellars

Fodor's Choice

It's worth the 20-minute drive from downtown Yakima to experience a tasting at this beautiful family-run vineyard specializing in blends of Rhône and Bordeaux varietals and both lightly oaked and unoaked Chardonnays. During the warmer months, music concerts are held in the amphitheater, with breathtaking mountains forming the backdrop. 

Kana Winery

On the ground floor of downtown Yakima's handsome art deco A.E. Larson Building, this lively tasting room presents local rock and acoustic bands on Friday nights—the owner is a serious Grateful Dead fan, which shows in everything from the colorful retro-'70s decor to the Dead-inspired artwork and names (Dark Star red blend, Katie Mae Riesling) of the mostly Rhône-style wines.
