17, 18, & 19 Barrel Tasting in the Rattlesnake Hills The weekend before Spring Barrel Tasting is the annual PRE-BARREL TASTING weekend in the Rattlesnake Hills, where the wineries roll out the barrels in a quieter, more intimate event. Featuring new wine releases, conversations with the winemaker about their hand-crafted wines, and great wine specials, you can avoid the crowds at all the wineries next weekend. If you are serious about great wine, or want to learn more, come to the wineries this weekend to sample delicious new wines from the barrel, exciting new releases, and mouth-watering blends. (Complimentary – no ticket required)

 24, 25, & 26 Spring Barrel Tasting – Rattlesnake Hills Style the wineries in the Rattlesnake Hills will be rolling out the barrels for this annual tradition in the Yakima Valley.  (Complimentary – no ticket required) Three exciting days of great new wines, live bands, BBQ, artists, and more are on the Trail during the annual Spring Barrel Tasting!  Winemakers are on hand to discuss their new releases while providing tastes directly from the barrel. No ticket is required on the Rattlesnake Hills Wine Trail, just a glass - and check out our Passport (only $10) for some really spectacular savings! Wine glasses and Passports are available at all the wineries on the Rattlesnake Hills Wine Trail and at the Yakima Visitor Information Center off I-82 at exit 33A. Passports are good one time at each winery, but never expire otherwise!
     Just 2 hours from Seattle, and 2.5 from Portland, the Rattlesnake Hills wineries are just outside Yakima, WA and offer full estate wineries where the grapes for many of Washington’s premier wines are grown.
