With more than 200 wineries within a one hour’s drive of Richland, Pasco and Kennewick, together known as the Tri-Cities, the time is right to visit this Eastern Washington State region for a wine tasting holiday. And the Lodge at Columbia Point, a boutique wine hotel that opened in May of 2017, is the perfect home base while you sip, dine and explore the area.
While wet and wily Western Washington sees 35-38 inches of rain annually, Eastern Washington receives only about eight — and enjoys 300 days of sunshine. This dry and fertile region grows an incredible bounty of crops, including wine grapes that become world-class wines. The Tri-Cities are well-situated for visiting some of Columbia Valley AVA’s top wineries, including those in the sub-AVA’s of Red Mountain, Horse Heaven Hills Rattlesnake Hills, Yakima Valley, and Walla Walla Valley.
The Lodge at Columbia Point
With a serene view of the Columbia River and Columbia Point Harbor, a trip is only accentuated with a stay at The Lodge at Columbia Point. The hotel partners with some of the AVA’s best wineries. Each of the rooms and suites is named for one of these 82 wine partners. The 62,777 square feet hotel includes a restaurant, wine bar, pool, hot tub, exercise room, and a massage spa, as well as numerous guest spaces in which to relax with a glass of wine.
