Fortuity Cellars

Emily and Lee Fergestrom – the duo behind Yakima Valley’s new Fortuity Cellars -- just won the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Rising Startup of the Year award for the Seattle district. Yep, they beat out ALL small businesses in our region, including any hot tech start-ups. These two (and winemaker Johnny Brose, pictured) are not only lovely, but also savvy. Fortuity generated $100,000 in revenue in their first nine months. Try their Rosé or Viognier - you can grab a bottle for your mom today from Provisions! (Photo Cred: Fortuity Cellars)

Spring Barrel Weekend

Spring Barrel weekend is the high holiday of Spring in the Yakima Valley. Your instinct might say “avoid the crowds,” but you can craft a lovely local outing with a concise plan in hand. On Sunday, pick two wineries no further than 10 minutes apart, double check their operating hours, and arrive at your first stop around 1pm. Enjoy this well-balanced itinerary and return home to stock your cellar. (Photo Cred: Gilbert Cellars
