"Abbondanza"
Abundance! Profusion! Luxuriant! Copious! Overflowing! Plentiful! This is the Yakima Valley, with its agricultural richness, rolling hills, and broad vistas. With so much to enjoy, be certain to stop at the Yakima Valley Visitor Information Center, located along I-82, between the Fair Ave. and Yakima Ave. exits. A knowledgeable staff is there to help with maps, wine routes, information on recreation, activities, special events, and the best use of your time while you are here.
Located in a tile-roofed, Tuscan-style building, framed by grape arbors, the Visitor Center reflects the natural beauty of the Yakima Valley, and the excitement of Washington Wine Country. Once inside, warm colors and a warm welcome greet you. You’ll appreciate the ‘Concierge Services’, such as planning a wine tour, finding that perfect Bed & Breakfast, or discovering dining options. They also offer an impressive array of items and gifts for sale,
all locally grown, made or created. Need that “last minute” bottle of Washington wine? You will find it here at the Yakima Valley Visitor Information Center.
The secret is out! Outdoor Recreation, agricultural visits, wine touring, farmers markets, art galleries, an arboretum, museums, fairs, festivals, jazz, classical music, heritage, country roads, friendly people, mountain vistas, and, oh, those asparagus, cherries, peaches, apples, and grapes! Do you know that the Yakima Valley is also one of the largest hop growing regions in the world?
With all of this ‘abbondanza’, planning your visit is a must. Fall colors, the ‘crush’ in the vineyards, ski White Pass in winter, visit blooming orchards in Spring, and savor Summer flavors direct from local growers. The Yakima Valley Visitor Information Center and its Staff are here to help you enjoy it all! Plan Ahead – the Secret is Out! www.visityakima.com (509) 575-3010.
