12:00 - Wine Tasting on Red Mountain

Sign up to taste wine made from one of the most preeminent wine growing regions in the world. Red Mountain is home to several wineries and vineyards whose grapes are used in more than 1/3 of the 1,000 wineries located in WA State. 

Due to the interest and size of the group, it will be necessary to visit a few different wineries in smaller groups. Reservations are required and have been made for groups of 8. The following wineries are looking forward to accommodating this group with discounts on wines and/or waiving the Tasting Fees. Visiting 2 out of 3 wineries listed will probably be enough as the tastings last about 1 hour 15 minutes. If you’d like to visit more, please feel free to do so. The 3 wineries listed offer a wide selection of varietals and a range of prices on wines.
