This museum is so much bigger than you would expect. They hold community events, special displays, and even houses a nostalgic ice cream parlor behind the building. The adjoining park is a perfect place to have a moment of play for the restless kids, and a nice family picnic. Definitely a place to visit!

Wines here were good. Sadly though we learned nothing about them. The place seemed to be full-staffed by apathetic Millennials who either didn't know, or didn't care (or both) about the wines they were pouring. They don't charge for tastings I guess (at least that's what she told us), which is good and bad. With free tastings, the wine sells itself...the staff definitely does not. If you just want to go have a nice glass of sparkling with beautiful views, this is your place. If you want to learn about the wines and winery, you'll probably be disappointed.

This agricultural museum is significant in my families' history as they were a part of the valley's agricultural growth. In fact, my grandfather made the first apple washer that is now located there. Dad tells about pull hair from the horses tails to make the brushes in it. My dad helped to put together this museum way back in its beginnings so I have been there numerous times and so proud of it.
All in all, this is a must see museum if you are interested in local history. A good place for kids as they can run around outside.

Great setup here! Lots of fresh fruit, veggies, baked goods, and home made bath/beauty products. We got a huge sack full, plus a few amazing cookies, and were shocked it was only $13! We didn't get to pick fruit because nothing was available, but we were able to stroll through the orchard and it was beautiful. The staff was friendly, helpful, and answered all of our questions. This is a definite weekly trip for us.

Our first stop of the day. Almost drove up to the owner's residence thinking it was the tasting room. They have a great place on a hill overlooking the vineyard. Our tasting server was amazing and offered us pretty much everything she had. She shared great stories about the wines. One that I remember is about the Sharecropper Chard. Back in the late 2000s, the wine market was soft and the owner worked with the fruit growers and they split the profits so all could benefit. Had to buy a bottle. Got a few recommendation in the Columbia Gorge and set off for stop 2.

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.

Where do I start with Kana Winery? There were our first stop on this past weekend's Wine Yakima Valley Spring Barrel Tasting. We bought our $35 PREMIER PASSES there. It's an in-town tasting room and, not knowing anything about the winery, I wasn't sure what...MoreRick, thank you for adding Kana Winery to your wine experience here in the Yakima Valley. Also for taking time to write this very kind review!

The staff is always friendly and helpful. They carry better quality made in Washington souvenirs. I stop in to purchase small gifts for family and friends who live out of state. I always thought it was a good location for travelers to see on the highway.
