Fall Experiences, Activities & Events in Yakima Valley
Fall brings cool air, brilliant foliage, and generous harvests to the Yakima Valley, creating an especially inviting season to explore—and to eat well.
Favorite Ways to Enjoy Fall
With warm afternoons and crisp, dry nights, the Yakima Valley is made for autumn adventures. Walk, hike, or cycle local trails while taking in layers of fall color. Visit farmstands overflowing with seasonal produce and bring home freshly picked apples, pears, peppers, pumpkins, and more. In the vineyards and hop fields, experience the sights and aromas of harvest, then plan for seasonal celebrations at area wineries and breweries. When evening arrives, settle into the welcoming atmosphere of a Yakima Valley tasting room or taproom.
