Rattlesnake Hills Winery Tour

Thursday, June 19
1:30 – 4 pm
$10

Winery hopping in the scenic Rattlesnake Hills is an unforgettable journey of delightful discovery. The region’s wineries have a close connection to the soil – the grapes you see are the wines you drink. Spend an afternoon savoring some of the Valley’s award-winning wines.

• Silver Lake Winery
  Silver Lake Winery at Roza Hills is the perfect place to start your tour. Enjoy the winery’s dramatic view overlooking Whiskey Canyon vineyard and the entire Valley.
• Hyatt Vineyards
  Nationally recognized for their superb merlots and cabernets, the Hyatt family released their first wines in 1987. The winery’s home vineyard is on a knoll at 1100 foot elevation with spectacular views of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams.
• Bonair Winery
  Featured in Washington’s Best Places to Kiss, the Bonair Winery offers the perfect setting for late afternoon relaxation. Sit outside with a glass of wine and enjoy the koi pond or maybe a little duck watching on the lake.
