In the Yakima Valley, shopping isn't the only reason to look forward to the post-turkey weekend.
For vino fans, it means three days of toasting to the good life during Thanksgiving in Wine Country.
The swirl-and-sip celebration -- which includes wine tasting, food pairings and discounts -- runs Nov. 28-30 at nearly 50 wineries throughout the Yakima Valley.
At most wineries all you'll need to bring is your own glass -- and a little patience, because those tasting rooms fill up fast.
But if you're looking for something a little extra, you can purchase a Thanksgiving in Wine Country Premiere Pass, which entitles you to a few perks and a commemorative wine glass.
Passes costs $20 in advance and $25 at participating wineries. For a listing of those wineries and a rundown of that weekend's special events, visit www.wineyakimavalley.org (where you can also purchase your reserve ticket).
You can also receive discounts and free reserve wine tastings at the 15 wineries on the Rattlesnake Hills Wine Trail with a $5 "Passport."
For more information on the passport and what's going on at the Rattlesnake Hills wineries on Thanksgiving weekend, visit www.rattlesnakehills.com.
