Imagine golden sunshine warming your face and the scent of lavender wafting in the air. Cue the sounds of talented bands, local wine hitting your lips, and the beauty of orchards filling your view. This is your senses exploding at Gilbert Cellars’ Music in the Vines concerts. Now in its ninth year, it is a do-not-miss summer in Yakima experience! If you’re among the converted, you’ll be sure to get your season tickets long before the first day of summer and the winery’s first concert on June 21. (Photo Cred: Gilbert Cellars)

What better way to prolong the Yakima sunshine than to grab a drink or dinner on one of our town’s fine patios? Sip a greyhound at Gasperetti’s, grab a beer with friends at Sports Center (reopening in late June!), or take the family for a night out under the umbrellas at Second Street Grill. Don’t forget Front Street alfresco spots Gilbert Cellars and Antolin Cellars, and if you’re out in West Valley, Apple Tree’s patio overlooking the golf course does not disappoint. Cheers!
