VIEW
Tour the great outdoors of Yakima, beginning with taking an e-bike on the Yakima Greenway Trail. Hop on a guided scenic river cruise with Red’s Fly Shop, or teach your group a new skill and join a fly fishing class. Spend time exploring beautiful Yakima farms and get hands on as you pick your own produce and fruit with Yakima Valley U-Pick Farm Experiences.
IMMERSE
Indulge in the history of Yakima, exploring its Native American and agricultural heritage at more than 13 museums the valley offers. Options include the Yakima Valley Museum, Northern Pacific Railway Museum, Yakama Nation Cultural Museum, Yakima Area Arboretum, and the McAllister Museum of Aviation. For art enthusiasts, tour Tieton, a “small farming community that has been turned into an artist incubator,” says Adam Stewart with Yakima Valley Tourism.
SIP
Yakima Valley, or “Home of the Hops,” grows about 75% of the country’s hops and is the largest hop-producing region in the world. Take your group on a craft beer weekend, designed by Yakima Valley Tourism, which includes brewery visits, a tasting at Tieton Cider Works, and a visit to the American Hop Museum. Chart your own course on the Hop Country Craft Brew Trail, or book a ride on the Little Hopper bus for a brewery tour.
SAVOR
To add another finely crafted experience to the list, take an e-bike tour with Kickstand Tours and indulge in what the Yakima and Walla Walla Wine Valley regions have to offer. From February to October, take the opportunity to attend one of Yakima’s wine festivals—such as Spring Barrel Weekend, Crush Harvest Celebrations, or Sip and Stroll—and spend some time celebrating the finer things in life in an idyllic setting.
