A Taste of Yakima Valley
This is a video of our first impression of Yakima Valley. Just 120 miles outside of Seattle, Washington, this town has the best of both worlds. World-class outdoor activities, along with being a mecca for wine, beer and food, Yakima Valley has something for everyone.
We spent a week exploring the area and all we can say is wow. Yakima Valley is definitely an underrated destination in the U.S. and we don't think it will be for long.
This video is the highlights, featuring the beautiful wineries, the breathtaking hiking trails, and vistas of Mt Rainier, waterfalls, a stroll through the lavender fields and a river ride!
We cannot recommend a visit to Yakima Valley enough, it really is the best of nature and has all the luxuries of a big city, without the big city congestion.
We love it and know you will too, for more info read other articles we have written about Yakima Valley Below

Visit Tri-Cities: The Heart of Washington Wine Country
The Tri-Cities, made up of the cities of Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland, lies at the heart of Washington States Wine Country. We are located in the hub of the Columbia Valley AVA (American Viticultural Area) where 99% of all of Washingtons wine grapes are grown. In fact, Benton County (home to Kennewick, Richland, Benton City, and Prosser) was recently named the largest grape growing region in the state of Washington. We truly offer visitors the opportunity to sample wines made from grapes grown in the area, a chance to roam through vineyards, and meet the winemakers and owners at more than 160 wineries within an hours drive. We have a number of wineries that offer eco-friendly wines, the first vineyard to be Certified Organic by Washington State Department of Agriculture, the oldest family-owned winery in the state sits in Pasco (also home to the Pacific Northwests largest corkscrew collection), and Washingtons first barrel caves were built on Red Mountain, just five minutes from Richland. There are great opportunities to experience the wineries during festivals throughout the year. Local wineries open up their doors to pair dark chocolate with their favorite red wine during Red Wine & Chocolate in February; visitors can preview and sample wineries straight from the barrels during Spring Barrel Tasting in April; and its always an experience to celebrate the bounty of harvest, see how wines are made, and participate in your very own grape stomp during Catch the Crush weekend in September. Most wineries are open year-round, offering free tastings to their visitors. And if they dont, most will waive the tasting fee with the purchase of wine.

The world of Washington wines | Juan Muñoz Oca | TEDxSpokane
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Washington state winemaking is earning well-deserved respect in the industry for the quality wines being produced in the region. The grapes are the key and the speaker shares his ideas on the recipe of success for the grape production resulting in award winning wines.
Juan Muñoz Oca is the head winemaker at Columbia Crest Winery in Paterson, Washington. Columbia Crest is recognized as the leading producer of acclaimed, high-quality wines from Washington state.
Raised in Mendoza, Argentina, Juan came under the tutelage of his grandfather, cellar master at Bodegas Toso winery, at a young age. The older man instilled in him a love and respect for wine, as well as his family’s Spanish culture, that was to become the root of a lifelong passion for winemaking. He has continued to develop his craft during stints at wineries in Argentina, Spain, and Australia.
Although his winemaking experience stretches across the globe, it is his time in Washington that has been most meaningful. Muñoz Oca says, “Washington state is a very special place for winemaking. We have high quality fruit, ideal growing conditions, and the best viticultural practices. I fell in love with the wine, and the people, and that’s why I’ve been here since.”
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Icicle Ridge Winery, Leavenworth, Washington
Icicle Ridge Winery is located in Peshastin, Washington on the outskirts of Leavenworth, Washington. The winery is in a very nice location with Icicle Ridge in view from the 5,000 square foot log home, now turned into a wine tasting home. We had the chance to try a couple of different wines, but I decided on The Blondes Gewurztraminer. Nice outside seating with a very friendly staff. We were even offered a tour of the wine cellar before leaving. The Wenatchee River winds through a deep canyon near by that can be seen at the edge of the wineries property.

Forgeron Wine Cellars- Walla Walla, Washington
If you ever get to tour the wine cellars in Walla Walla, Wa. make it an absolute must to stop by at Forgeron Wine Cellars. These Vintners are natives of France, and trained as classic wine makers. Frankly, I consider their wine as 'genius in a bottle'. The crafting, blending, and seasoning in burgundy oak... absolute elegance. Also in this video take notice of the superb Voice Over Artistry of Fiona Goldman. Old school skill displayed in colour, pacing, texture and mood. Not often heard these days...we thought Fiona's skill-set and award winning talent, fivoice.co.uk was perfect for this shoot and we were right!
Wonderful Bickleton Washington House
This house is for sale and please contact the Realtor for a viewing. More information to be added later.
Bickleton, Washington is called the Bluebird Capital of the world because of the thousands of bluebirds that spend most of the year in the area. The majority are Mountain Bluebirds with a few Western Bluebirds in or near the forest.
From the Bickleton website:
Although quite small (population 90), there are interesting events and places in or near town. Bickleton is home to the states oldest tavern, The Bluebird, and the states oldest rodeo. The next Pioneer Picnic And Rodeo will be the 105th annual. At the picnic and rodeo grounds is one of the west’s oldest carousels. A 1905 Herschell-Spillman. It is set up and used only on rodeo week-end, which is always the second week-end in June. It was purchased from Oaks Park in Sellwood, Oregon in 1929 and moved to Bickleton. Just 11 miles south of town is the Whoop N Holler Ranch and Museum where there are many interesting local antiques and old vehicles. About 17 miles south of town is 4th largest landfill in the country. Owned, by Allied Waste Industries, it provides much needed jobs and capitol for Klickitat County. The landfill gas created by the decomposing waste is used to generate over 8 megawatts of electrical power. A few miles south of town is the area’s first large wind power electrical generating plant. Good food is available at the Market Street Cafe and the Bluebird Inn.
