About
Zillah is a quaint little town about halfway between Yakima and Prosser in the Rattlesnake Hills AVA. In this region, there are approximately 1,807 acres of vineyards. The wineries here are known for Merlot, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. The first vines were planted here in 1968.
You will enjoy riding the rolling Rattlesnake Hills. You’ll feel like a kid out riding with your pals. Don’t worry about the hills, you won’t even notice them on our eBikes. We will ride past cherry orchards, vineyards, hop fields, and apple orchards. On a clear day, you will be treated to frequent views of Mount Rainier and Mount Adams in the distance. This route is between 11-13 miles.

What to leave at home:
