Nestled just outside the Tri-Cities, Red Mountain is one of Washington State’s most celebrated wine regions known for bold reds, sweeping vineyard views, and a relaxed, welcoming pace. Red Mountain is home to Frichette and over a dozen amazing wineries, mostly family owned. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend or a longer stay, here’s a simple guide to help you plan the perfect Red Mountain getaway.
Flying In: Start at PSC
The easiest way to reach Red Mountain is by flying into Tri-Cities Airport (PSC). It’s a small, convenient airport with rental cars readily available and quick access to Richland, Benton City, and Red Mountain. No long drives required.
Where to Stay
Choose the vibe that fits your visit best:
The Lodge at Columbia Point Located along the Columbia River in Richland, this waterfront hotel offers beautiful views, walkable paths, and an upscale yet relaxed atmosphere. It’s a great home base for exploring the Tri-Cities and wine country. Located on the property is a fine dining restaurant and a casual bar. Bicycle rentals are also available for a great ride on the waterfront.

Getting Around in Style
Skip the driving and elevate your experience by booking TC Black, a luxury driving service that will transport you from your hotel to wineries comfortably and safely.
