I’ve put together a couple of suggested itineraries for the weekend, based on events on Red Mountain.  

• Itinerary 1 — golf at Monte Scarlatto, yoga, a sunset wagon ride with Red Mountain Trails.
• Itinerary 2 — golf, yoga, a trail ride wine tour with Red Mountain trails, and a cycling tour of the wineries of Red Mountain.

Weather:

Apart from September, this is possibly the nicest weather window you’ll have for wine tasting and activities like riding one of our bikes or going on a trail ride.

• Vacation Rentals by Owner — Red Mountain has some really nice vacation rentals available for your visit.  Most of these are right on Red Mountain and visitors get a discount on their trail or wagon ride when they stay.
• Bella Luna House — gorgeous vacation rental offered by Tapteil winery.
• Camping and RV — 
  • Beach RV Park – situated in Benton City — lots of pretty trees, gorgeous setting along the Yakima River waterfront, 5 minutes to Red Mountain.
  • RV Village Resort – West Richland.  Easy access to Red Mountain and Richland for restaurants, shopping, and wine-tasting.  Indoor pool and spa.
• The nearest hotels are located in Richland and Prosser.

Places to Eat

There are a number of chain restaurants around but here are some “off the beaten path” recommendations:

• Tacos Garcia Taco Truck — West Richland.  The best taco truck around, and I love their ceviche.
• The Wild Boar Grill — Benton City.  This is a new and very welcome addition to the area.  I’m a big fan of their pig wings and homemade potato chips!
• The Vineyard Grill at Terra Blanca — Red Mountain.  One of the only places on the hill to eat.  Beautiful views and great food and wine!
