Fodor's Expert Review Desert Wind Winery

This expansive airy tasting room housed in an elegant Santa Fe–style building featuring a vast patio overlooking the Yakima River is one of the highlights of any wine tour in the valley. Notable bottles include the Sémillon, Barbera, Petit Verdot, and a crowd-pleasing everyday red blend, the Ruah. For the ultimate experience, book a full tour of the winery, which includes barrel tastings and pairings with light snacks. Just off Interstate 82, this family-owned winery also includes a luxurious four-room inn and a gift shop with products from the Yakima Valley.
