Look down on Washington’s Yakima Valley in springtime and you'll see one of the great agricultural landscapes of America—miles of lush, green fields of hops, acres of blossoming fruit trees and rows of vineyards.
In winter the trees and vines are bare, the air is crisp and so clear that it is possible to see the snow-covered slopes of Mount Rainier in the distance. It’s the perfect time to seek a warm, cozy place to eat. And the Yakima Valley offers a bounty—from the heartiest breakfast to tasting rooms pouring the locally produced wine to wood-fired pizza to die for and ending with a s’more for dessert that’s s’more than you could imagine. But what makes the Yakima Valley especially appealing is the feeling that you’re among friends and family—because many times, you are.
