Wine Tours
by tammy on June 9, 2006
From Seattlest: Other countries have them, official "Route des Vins" complete with signposts. Why not here? Indeed.
Imagine a road actually called the Washington Wine Highway linking the state's major wine-growing regions, with signs to tell you what wine was all about: it would begin in Puget Sound, meander a bit in Woodinville, cross Snoqualmie Pass and take in the entire Yakima Valley. Or it could cross Stampede Pass and noodle around lake Chelan, follow the Columbia Valley downstream to the Tri-Cities, and end up in Walla Walla.
A highway, in other words, connecting the state's four wine centers. Great for the wineries, great for tourism. But the state's wine and tourism bureaucracies are too bureaucratic, too politicized to make this happen.
