Open: Year Round

Making History in the Yakima Valley

Tucker Cellars Tasting Room has assembled its wine history with artifacts from the Wine Industry in the Yakima Valley. The time line starts at the geological formation of the Appellation that makes it a premier wine area, then onto 1869 with French winemaker Charles Schanno from Alsace, France planting the first grape vines in the Yakima Valley with cuttings from a vineyard in The Dalles and from the Hudson's Bay Company outpost in Vancouver. Vineyards planted in the 30's by Vera and Melvin Tucker were added to by son Dean and wife Rose.  Presently, the winery and vineyards are run by 3rd generation Tuckers, Randy and Debbie.
