Don't forget to download the Yakima Valley Wine Pass, a free digital passport that allows you to access special offers to more than 20 wineries in the Yakima Valley.

Thousands of people who love wine will be in the Yakima Valley next month for the Spring Barrel Tasting event set throughout the month of April.

Washington state’s wine grape harvest grew by 14 percent in 2018, for a grand total of 261,000 tons crushed. It was the second largest harvest in Washington’s history, behind the record-breaking total of 270,000 tons in 2016.

Glover says it's a chance to enjoy red wine and chocolate without the snowstorm.

Barb Glover Executive Director of Wine Yakima Valley says it's a wine lovers weekend.

And while it's harvest time there's still another big event coming up for area wineries next month called Catch The Crush.
