THINGS TO DO IN THE HEART OF WASHINGTON WINE COUNTRY

Tri-Cities is located in Southeast Washington about two and half hours from Spokane. It’s located on the confluence of three rivers – the Snake, Yakima, and Columbia Rivers.

This area is known as the Heart of Washington Wine Country, so if you’re a budding sommelier, an avid sampler, or just a fan of tasting quality wine this is the region for you.

Stay at the Lodge at Columbia Point

This is the perfect accommodation for your visit to the Tri Cities. Here your accommodation transforms from just a bed to sleep to an experience to enjoy.

Bike or Walk Columbia River Trail

The trail runs for 23 miles along both sides of the river, linking all three Tri-City towns and several parks and bridges.

One of my favorite things to do in Tri cities was visiting Hedges Family Estate, a Biodynamic Winery located on an elevated section of Red Mountain.
