My wife and I went to the winery on a whim late in the afternoon. It was our first experience visiting a winery in the U.S.. We were so happy we made the choice. Because of the issues related to COVID-19 we were seated on the patio, offered a glass of their award winning Sangiovese Rose and charcuterie plate. We couldn’t have been treated better. We selected several of their Private reserve wines to taste and ultimately purchase. We are now participants in their wine club. We will certainly look forward to our quarterly wine deliveries. Especially we would like to thank the gentleman who served us and made the tastings so informative. He made us feel special, even though I was dressed very casually ( bib overalls ). Overall a “perfect” experience!

This museum wasn’t on our original itinerary, but we’re really glad we stopped. The geology and natural history exhibits are top notch and would appeal to all ages. We learned a lot about Hanford and how the government set up a plutonium plant here quickly to develop the atomic bomb. It gave us a lot of new perspective on World War 2 and the Cold War.

LIGO Hanford is one of the two Laser Interferometry Gravitational Observatories that first detected the gravitational wave propagating from the collision of two black holes a few years ago and then more recently two neutron stars. For this the LIGO team was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. The tour is fascinating, as you'll get a sense of the unprecedented precision with which distance is measured. Mind-blowing. Check ahead for when tours are operating.
