WBC-or-BUST: Day 2, Yakima to Walla Walla
THURSDAY, JUNE 24

Day two of the WBC-or-BUST road trip & tour is shaping up to provide participating Bloggers and media guests another great Washington wine experience – leading up to the Wine Bloggers Conference in Walla Walla.

Rested and ready to hit the road, winning bloggers and media will leave Seattle in the morning and head east over the Cascade Mountain Range toward beautiful Washington Wine Country.

Brunch & Wine Tasting at Cave B Inn
Our first experience of the morning will take place at one of Washington's best-kept wine destination secrets, the captivating Cave B Inn, for brunch and a unique wine tasting. Perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Columbia River Gorge, bloggers and media guests will enjoy a delicious brunch along with a wine tasting focused around Washington's smaller/unique AVA's and production regions.

Farm-sponsored Vineyard Lunch
Following a great morning itinerary (TBA), we will cruise on into Yakima Valley stopping in Sunnyside to enjoy a farm-sponsored luncheon amongst the vines of DuBrul Vineyard. Imagine long tables with white linens setup between the vineyard rows, serving up fresh regional foods and delicious selection of locally produced wines. Can you say YUM?!?!

Yakima Valley Grand Tasting
With our stomachs full and palates refreshed we will briefly jump back on the bus make our way down the road to Prosser’s Vintners's Village for a Yakima Valley Grand Tasting. Experience the breadth of regional wines along with specialty cheeses and breads, while exploring the wine village and mingling with local winemakers.

Walla Walla Vintners Pizza Social
After a superb Yakima Valley experience bloggers and guests will have the opportunity to rest and catch-up on the day’s events when we get back on the road and head on to Walla Walla. Rolling into town the bus will make its final stop of the day at Walla Walla Vintners for a truly unique local dining experience including delicious wood fired pizza and finally crafted, locally made wine.

Walla Walla Bed & Breakfast Experience
The conclusion of this exceptional day—full of food, wine, and plenty of Washington scenery—bloggers and media guests will have the unique opportunity to experience Walla Walla’s finest bed & breakfasts, coordinated by the WWBBIA. Through their generous hospitality, guests will enjoy a comfortable night’s rest and delicious breakfast in order to come in refreshed for the Wine Bloggers Conference.
