About the Tri-Cities
Our three distinct cities and outlying areas offer a
multitude of recreational, cultural, cultural and
historic activities to enjoy during your visit.
We encourage you to take advantage of our premier golf
courses, award winning wineries, museums, first
class shopping and abundant water recreation. With
hundreds of sunny days in the Tri-Cities, there are
many opportunities to experience the great outdoors,
play a round of golf, stroll through one
of our beautiful parks, bike hike or rollerblade
the Sacagawea Heritage Trail or take a jet boat
tour of the Hanford Reach National Monument and
discover a variety along nature trails and national
wildlife refuges.
Our Wine
With over 150 wineries within one hour’s drive the Tri-Cities; Kennewick, Richland and Pasco is truly at the
heart of the Columbia Valley and Washington Wine Country.
It is easy to conceive that Columbia Valley wineries
would produce
high-end premium wines since the Tri-Cities
area lies on the same latitude as world-famous Burgundy
and Bordeaux regions of France. The regions wonderful
weather combines with the Columbia Valley’s rich volcanic
soil, producing hot summer days and crisp cool evening
breezes, which naturally stress the vines, creating great
conditions for making great wines.
Our Golf
Due in part to the exceptional climate golf is one of the
Tri-Cities most popular sports. Reasonable green fees,
plentiful tee times, two championship putting courses and
wonderful weather keeps visitors playing year-round. The
area’s beautiful courses challenge the most
experienced golfer
as well as a
beginner.
