Yakima County

Wine and beer lovers rejoice! Yakima is growing—vineyards, hops, and fruit—and doing it in style. The Yakima AVA region encompasses 18,000 acres of vineyards specializing in Chardonnay, Riesling, and Merlot. This is where you’ll find 40% of the US wine producing grapes grown—and 80% of the US hop production! Add in some beautiful orchards full of apples, cherries, and nectarines, and you’ve discovered the Zillah Fruit Loop; a delightful journey through a picturesque countryside where you’ll find ample reasons to stop at roadside stands, wineries, and craft breweries along the way. Living in Yakima County means living in the middle of an agricultural mecca. Yakima County is Grandview’s self-proclaimed views of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams; Selah’s TreeTop apple processing plant; the little town of Zillah, and Sunnyside, and Granger. Building a new home in Yakima is like drawing your house on a postcard. It’s perfect.
