My wife and I visited the Franklin County Historical Museum in Pasco, Washington last week and were so amazed at what we witnessed. The Museum was originally constructed in 1910 as part of Andrew Carnegie's worldwide library construction program. A new library was built in 1962, after which the building served several different business concerns, ending in a period of abandonment and neglect. In 1980 the Society was offered the opportunity to use the building as its museum. Between 1980 and 1982, the building was beautifully refurbished by volunteers. It opened to the public as the Franklin County Historical Museum on January 3, 1983. The Museum is managed by Sherel Webb the Franklin County Historical Society Administrator, and after talking with Sherel you can feel her passion and love for the Museum and it's future growth. Sherel pushes hard to follow the Historical Society's mission statement that " we shall preserve and promote the history of Franklin County through educational publications, programs, and the operation of the Franklin County Museum ". The Museum has two levels of exhibits, a gift shop, archives for research, meeting rooms for programs, memorial books, and monthly and quarterly publications. They also have Museum memberships available. Admission is Free, and donations are welcome. The display pieces in the Museum where fantastic, and brought back a lot of memories. It is definitely worth a trip to this small dessert town to see the History, and to learn more about the stories of the pioneers of Franklin County.

The place is very kid friendly with lots of room to run and play. Ultimately though I can't give 5 stars because their events are not super well organized. We attended for Easter and the hunt for toddlers started before it was supposed to and then they did a second one for all ages which was just chaotic. It didn't make sense why they didn't follow the timeline on the website and tickets. Ultimately I hope they can clean this up for the future!

The entire place has this "European chateau" vibe that's impossible to fake -- from the architecture to the art to the view over the vineyard rows. Even the drive up feels like you're heading somewhere special. I added a note to our reservation asking for a spot by the fireplace and mentioned we were celebrating a birthday. Not only did they honor it, they nailed it. The chairs were warm, comfortable, and the whole room felt cozy in that old-world way -- fire crackling, candles glowing, and the kind of ambiance that makes you want to slow down and savor everything. The wines were bold and delicious, especially the reds. You can tell they take their craft seriously. They even brought out a little birthday treat, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the moment feel even more personal. We also ordered the cheese plate and honestly, it was perfect. Three different cheeses, a mix of crackers, olives, tiny pickles, and what I'm pretty sure was apricot jam -- everything balanced each other beautifully. Paired with the wine, it felt like the world outside just... paused for a bit. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful without hovering. They made sure we had everything we needed and explained the wines clearly, but still let us relax, enjoy, and take in the atmosphere. If you want a place that transports you, even just for an hour or two, Hedges is absolutely worth the visit. It's one of those wineries where you don't just taste the wine -- you feel the entire experience.

The young man and the young woman who served our drinks were polite and attentive. 2025 Jul visit review: 4.5 Overall. We will visit Hedges again. The three of us stopped for a wine tasting at Hedges during a drive from Seattle area to Walla Walla, on a warm and sunny July day. AMBIANCE: 4.5 We chose to sit outside under the umbrella trees next to the fountain. The view was lovely, the trees provided cool shade, and the sound of the fountain was pleasing -- though the low hum of the fountain's pump was at first a slight distraction it quickly faded from our consciousness. WINE: 4.5. We chose and enjoyed the Estate White Wine Flight and bought one bottle; for our next stop I am looking forward to having the Red Flight. SERVICE: 4.0. Many wineries employ college students for summer wine tastings, and the gentleman who served us was no exception. However, he was better than most as he had just graduated with a degree in viticulture and thus was knowledgeable about the wines and able to answer our questions.

We showed up a little late for our reservation, but you'd never know it by the way the staff greeted us. Everything was already set up and ready to go--no rush, no attitude, just genuine hospitality. That's actually one of the reasons we keep coming back: every visit feels effortless. The team knows their wines, they listen to what you like, and they guide you without ever making you feel out of place. The tasting room itself is beautiful--clean lines, warm wood, a modern Northwest feel. It's the kind of space where you can actually relax and enjoy yourself instead of feeling like you're in a tourist factory. You've got art on the walls, polished floors, and even those wooden kayaks that make you stop and stare for a second. It sets the tone before the first pour even hits the glass. And the wines... always on point. Whether you're into a silky dessert ice wine that tastes like it should be illegal, or you love those strong, bold reds that Kiona is known for, there's something here for every kind of palate. If you want a place that consistently delivers great wine, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere where you can actually unwind... Kiona is one of the best spots in the Tri-Cities area. Worth the drive every single time.

Since we had our dog with us, we opted to sit outside. Luckily, it's a covered patio, so although it was a hot day, it could have been worse if we had direct sun, and the view of the vineyard on Red Mountain is phenomenal! We were greeted with a glass of rosè, and opted for tastings. There are 3 tastings for $20 (not counting the welcome glass), with generous pours. The fee is waived with bottle purchase of $30. I opted for mostly cab or cab blends. Honestly, I didn't care for the wine. I was actually disappointed as so many people have raved about Kiona. The best thing I tasted was the rosè. Maybe I chose the wrong wines to taste, but I'm not sure I'd buy Kiona wines. On the flip side, the staff were absolutely great! And the tasting room is gorgeous, and if the views are your thing, and you enjoy their wine, definitely pay Kiona a visit.
