        Amazing views and beer
        Wendy was super helpful and flexible with my request. We visited three breweries, the views were amazing, and the beer was so good. The views were amazing at Cowiche Creek Brewing Co!

        Repeat Hoppers.
        Another great trip on the Little Hopper!! Dana did an excellent job in getting us around and making us all feel welcome. Never a rush, allowing us plenty of time to relax at each stop. Wendy does a fantastic job communicating ahead of time to make sure all of the details are covered. We will be back again for sure!!!

        Best Office Outing!
        If you are looking for a fun and engaging outing for your team the Little Hopper is the best. My office just did our second tour with them. My favorite part of booking with the Little Hopper / Wendy (the owner) is that she will manage the whole process for you (although I know she will also let you pick where you want to go), so all I had to do was pick a date and time! Wendy’s knowledge of the wineries ensures you get a great variety of wine tastings and experiences, and her relationships with the wineries gives your group a bit of the VIP treatment. Every winery we went to there was a reserved section, and at places where we had planned for food it was ready right when we got there. We even had the owner or vintner talk to us about their wines at several stops. I can’t recommend the Little Hopper and Wendy enough. She is first class, and takes care of everything. Our team enjoyed a day away from the office, and everyone is looking forward to this now annual event. It is a great time where nobody has to worry about the administrative side of planning an event and we just get to enjoy each other’s company. Highly recommend!!

        Outstanding tour of Yakima Valley wine country!
        From the planning process to the follow up after our private wine tour, Wendy was amazing to work with! Once she got a sense of what our group was looking for she scheduled a day of wine tasting tailored to us. Every winery was outstanding and we felt like VIPs. Wendy had waters and snacks for us in the bus to have in between wineries. She also brought an extra cooler with ice packs upon our request to bring some of our own beverages. Wendy took photos for us throughout the day and shared them with us later which was an unexpected surprise. If you are in the Yakima valley and want a unique tailored experience book Little Hopper!

        Trust the locals with your visit to Yakima
        It doesn’t get any better than letting a local take the wheel on this one! Wendy was an absolute incredible host and tour guide. She took us to Fortuity Cellars (our favorite) and three others, and introduced us to the owners. There is no better way to experience the depth of wineries that Yakima offers than with Little Hopper - so glad we booked this experience. Worth every penny. Thanks Little Hopper and Wendy!

        Amazing wine tasting experience with The Little Hopper
        We spent the whole weekend in Yakima doing wine tasting with Wendy (the owner) on The Little Hopper tours. Wendy was so organized! She had made reservations for us at all the tasting rooms with reserved seating and personalized menus at many of them. She checked on us often to ensure we had everything we needed, took awesome photos for us, and greeted us back on the bus with cold waters and snacks! The Friday evening tour of local Yakima wines was a great way to get started with an Amazing mediterranean charcuterie board at Treveri. Day Two was tastings in Zillah, and probably had the best views of the weekend. We LOVED Dineen vineyards! The owner was there and she walked us out to the vines, and told us all about the vines and winemaking. There were 10 of us on the bus, but we were not crowded and of course we were all best friends by the end of the day! Day Three was tastings on Red Mountain and as we were a smaller group that day, Wendy was so awesome and included us in planning the itinerary. We got to pick where we wanted to go and we even added a brewery stop on the way back for my partner to get a beer tasting in! Being local all her life Wendy was a wealth of knowledge about the area and had great recommendations for things to do and where to eat. (Splurge and go to Crafted for dinner one night!) 100% recommend and when we come back to the area we will tour with The Little Hopper again, hands down!

        Don’t think. Book now!
        We LOVED the little hopper wine tour. We’ve been on tours all across Europe and Asia and this was the best. Our tour guide, Julianne, made the trip incredible and we loved the options for wine tasting at each place. Do not hesitate to book the little hopper!!!

        We love Little Hopper
        Wendy is just amazing! We have used Little Hopper numerous times for wine tasting tours and it’s always a great experience! Wendy worked with us to come up with the perfect tour and then set it all up! She’s always excited to see us and does an amazing job making sure we make it to each stop as scheduled! I would recommend Wendy and Little Hopper to anyone looking for an amazing day drinking wine or beer in and around Yakima!

        My 30th Birthday!
        We LOVE the Hopper!!! I have booked twice now and couldn’t be happier! No matter the occasion or reason it’s the best way to do a winery tour in this area! Already thinking about our next trip. :) Wendy is amazing - every detail was planned, communicated and executed flawlessly. She made sure everything was perfect for us, from taking care of all the reservations, providing helpful recommendations (even having charcuterie ready for us upon arriving to our first stop) and decorating the bus!! Everything was so smooth and easy and the day went off without a hitch. Harvey was our driver and an absolute pleasure! The overall experience was incredible!! Everyone had a great time and so much fun! HIGHLY recommend booking!!

        Excellent Trip
        This was our first trip to Yakima and we chose to do a private tour with Wendy. We had an absolute blast. She was very communicative leading up to the trip and once we arrived, everything was completely planned out and on schedule. The wineries were excellent and the whole experience made us feel like VIP's. Flying across the country to visit a wine region we've never been to can be a little daunting but Wendy made everything seamless and even helped us find some incredible restaurants. We'll definitely be back onboard the Little Hopper again!

        Yakima Wine Tour
        We were coming into town for the Fresh Hop Ale Festival and we were arriving a few days early. What to do? Go on a wine tour! We called and Wendy got us hooked up with our tour. We were traveling with friends and this was the perfect activity. Our driver, Julieanne, picked us up at our hotel and we were off! The first winery was beautiful. We were startled a couple times by a cannon going off and they explained that keeps the birds away when it is harvest time. The more you know! The second location had all sparkling wines. We sat outside on their patio and enjoyed the beverages. The best was saved for last. Sipping wine outside with an amazing view at sunset. Cannot be beat! I highly recommend this tour company. Their customer service is stellar and the locations are amazing. Would totally do this again!

        Fun and knowledgeable
        We did the Friday night Yakima wine tour and the Saturday Zillah wine tour. Wendy is super knowledgeable and kind. We had some great wines, gorgeous views, and got some local recommendations from Wendy. We were really glad to not only be driven around safely, but to get her recommendations. Some of the roads are narrow and steep, definitely appreciated having a driver. We had a great time with Wendy!

        Fun Times
        All we wanted was a wine tour but what we got went above and beyond! When my cousins and I decided to do a wine tour we found this company online, but could not find much information as it was still very early in the year. We booked anyway and definitely were not disappointed. Wendy took us to some wonderful wineries and we had an equally wonderful time tasting and listening to the stories! We felt like we got our own personal tour of the Yakima valley with a little wine thrown in. I am not hesitating to recommend this company to anyone who is wanting to taste wine but not drive. Wendy was warmly welcomed wherever we went making our visit at each winery more special. Thank you so much for so much fun!

      What a great tour! Wendy is so pleasant to be with, and really knows the local wine scene. She brought us to amazing wineries, shared her local knowledge, and put us in the capable hands of the winery staff. I had so much fun, that I signed up for the brewery tour the next day! I highly recommend!

      I had little time to try and figure out wineries I wanted to sample so I put my faith in Little Hopper for my tasting experience. Wendy selected excellent wineries for the tour, two of them taking fresh approaches to winemaking which I appreciated! She provides a fun experience and sincerely cares about the winemakers and their craft, imparting that to her clientele. The snacks in the van were perfect for the venue. I will definitely return to Yakima for more tastings, both wine and beer, and definitely recommend Little Hopper for you tasting experience.

      Our experience with Little Hopper was absolutely fantastic! If you are in Yakima and looking for a beer or wine tour, do not look any further because no one is better than Little Hoppers. We met Wendy (the owner) and Julieann (our driver) during our trip to Yakima. Wendy worked with us so we could have an outstanding wine tour. She emailed us with tour details and included several recommendations for places to eat and things to do in Yakima. Her recommendations were spot on! She went out of her way to ensure our trip to Yakima was an enjoyable experience. We truly enjoyed and appreciated the time we spent with her on our ride to/from the Hop’s Festival. Julieann was more than just our driver during our wine tour. She provided excellent information about the wines, wineries, and the Yakima area. More importantly, she was an absolute joy to hang out with. We had fun conversations on the bus and when she checked in on us at the wineries. All the wineries that were selected were excellent. Wendy and Julieann are two of the nicest people you will ever meet and will ensure your Little Hopper experience is outstanding! They are the Ambassadors of Yakima! You will be missing out if you don’t book your tour with Little Hoppers.
