Harvest & Crush Events in Yakima Valley Wine Country
Celebrate the Season in the Best Wine Region in the US!
October 9-11, 2026 (Main Event Weekend)
(Other Events happen throughout the harvest season)
Crush is a special time of year for both winemakers and wine lovers alike in Yakima Valley Wine Country! Harvest is coming to a close in Valley vineyards and winemakers are beginning to craft the next great Yakima Valley vintage. We have even more to celebrate this harvest season, being recently named Best Wine Region in the US in the USA Today 10Best Readers Choice Awards. So, get ready to celebrate in wine country style, complete with grape stomps, vineyard tours and behind-the-scenes grape crush experiences. Enjoy harvest parties, live music, fall flavors from locals’ favorite food trucks and vendors, a vineyard run and more activities for the whole family.
Why all the excitement? This is the culmination of months spent carefully tending the vineyards, monitoring the fruit until it reaches just the right flavor profiles, sugar levels and pH. The grapes are crushed and the art of crafting premium Yakima Valley vines begins.
In addition to crush and vineyard harvest celebrations, this is the perfect time to stock up on wine for the holidays and for gift giving. You’ll find savings and special releases throughout the Valley. Shop for new fall gifts, artisan foods and wine country décor at winery shops. Be sure to check out our lineup of winery dining stops for perfectly paired wine country bites.
Between winery stops, enjoy harvest season all around the valley with just-picked, farm-fresh flavors. Shop for perfect produce, artisan foods, hand-crafted bakery treats and gifts at farm stands and farmers markets. Combine it all with our gorgeous, early fall weather, and it makes for a picture-perfect fall getaway in Yakima Valley wine country.
