Washington Wine Country Gay Guide and Photo Gallery

By , About.com Guide

One of America's leading wine regions, central and eastern Washington has become a highly popular getaway among sophisticated Seattleites and Portlanders for its bounty of super wineries, as well as a growing number of gay-friendly inns, restaurants, and wine bars. This region centered primarily in the Columbia Valley and nearby Yakima Valley and Walla Walla Valley is characterized by sunny skies and miles of arid, picturesque hillsides - it's quite a contrast to wet and green Seattle. Here's a tour of some notable towns, wineries, accommodations, and restaurants in Washington's rapidly growing Wine Country.

For more on the Washington Wine Country, check out the Washington Wine Commission, Washington Wine Country and the Columbia Valley Winery Association.

Book rooms and compare rates on hotels in Walla Walla and the Washington Wine Country.
