Wine a little.... You'll feel better!

Inside Olsen Estates Winery in Prosser

Nothing makes a small town girl feel more like a city lady than a fine glass of wine (well maybe there are a few other things!).  Here in southeastern Washington we are in a wine lovers paradise.  Not only 10 minutes from our home we have several outstanding wineries.  Here are a few places that I wanted to get the word out about:

**One right here in the Tri-Cities is the Tagaris Winery.  They have great wine, a nice restaurant with really good food and a beautiful patio with live music in the summer.

 

**Secondly about an hours drive from here is Walla Walla.  A town that was once better know for the state penitentiary and Whitman College is now a mecca for wonderful wine.

 

**And for the lazy of the wine connoisseurs out there:  Vintners Village in Prosser.  Close to 14 wineries have tasting rooms here.  That’s right, just pull your car up and meander between them all day.  From my own personal experience though I would highly recommend a car service or a designated driver if you are visiting this location.  After 20 to 30 “pours” of wine I have very little recollection of our drive home or the dinner that followed!

 

So if you love wine and ever get a chance to visit this region definitely make a point in touring all the fine wineries available.

CHEERS!
