So many great wines. When we are in the area, we always stop here for the fantastic wine and to see Paul the owner. Large selection of wine to choose from, something for everyone, and the tastings come with great conversation. Looking forward to our next trip in April with the RV this time and staying in his beautiful vineyard through our Harvest Host membership. It's time to replenish our Portteus supply at home. Highly recommend you stop by when near Zillah.

Let me preface this review by stating that I was horribly (HORRIBLY) hungover when I visited this brewery over Labor Day weekend. After a super, fun-filled, all-American Labor Day weekend road trip from Seattle to Yakima accompanied by shooting at an indoor gun range (also Yakima) and a $125 speeding ticket (also Yakima), we stopped at Bale Breaker. I was mildly annoyed, mainly because of the speeding ticket, but also because I discovered I'm a terrible shot. Dashed as my dreams were, I forged ahead... We enter the brewery doors from the extravagant parking lot (there must be AT LEAST 50 spaces). We're greeted by plaid-wearing, bearded men. They're the coolest kind. I don't order a beer, but they don't mock me and they point me to the direction of the water cooler. My friends both order different beers, which I don't taste just in case my hangover decides to react unfavorably to alcohol (again...). They swear they are amazing. One of my friends who frequents Yakima and the brewery twice a year explains to me that they have the best pretzels. She proceeds to buy two bags of pretzels to give as wedding gifts to her best friend back in NY (who is apparently OBSESSED with these damn pretzels). Now, there's two things that I love to eat when I'm hungover: cereal and dry pretzels. I had already eaten half a box of Crispix in the car, so I'm excited to move onto pretzels. She brings over a bowl (which are free, by the way, because Bale Breaker is the most amazing brewery in the world). I pop one in my mouth. They taste like heaven on a crap day. They have this flavored dust all over them, which I assumed was a Ranch-like dust. I eat the entire bowl. We take some to-go. I contemplate breaking into the wedding gifts as I lay down and rest in the back seat of the car. I don't, but I want to. Long story short... GO TO THIS DANG NAB BREWERY.
5. Yakima Convention Center

Reviewed By YAKIMA2020 - Yakima, United States
I must tell you that I was extremely impressed with the Yakima Convention Center. Parking is great, convenient and easy. There are numerous hotels in the vicinity. There are a ton of restaurants in the vicinity. And downtown Yakima is extremely walkable. The air he has a high walk ability score. The convention center staff is very helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. So if you are planning your next business meeting, industry trade show or convention, there’s really no option. Just bring the traveling roadshow to Yakima, Washington. You’re going to have a great time, and your clients, colleagues and customers will too!
6. Washington Fruit Place at Barrett Orchards
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 21 reviews
Enjoy mouth-watering, tree-ripened fruit grown in Yakima Valley's rich volcanic soil, picked fresh daily in season. Our cherries, apricots, peaches, nectarines, pears, apples, and more fresh fruits, produced from carefully cultivated trees by a fourth generation orchardist. Our gift shop is also stocked with lovely items for the home and garden as well as Seahawk and colligate goods.

They make their own ice cream, you pick your own cherries (if you want) and everything is delicious. They sport a fantastic selection of many varieties of soft fruit... and apples too I think. There's a lovely little nik-nak store for cool, unusual yet related gifts at reasonable prices. It's very representative of Yakima. Take the family for a two-hour outing.
