Skip the Tasting Fees in Washington Wine Country

It still costs $20 to check a bag on Alaska Airlines, but at least your wine flies free thanks to a new partnership with Washington Wine Country.
The new Taste and Tote program lets Alaska Airlines passengers traveling to Walla Walla, Yakima, or the Tri-Cities check their first case of wine free. Plus tasting fees are waived at participating wineries when visitors show their Alaska Airlines boarding pass. And if, you choose to rent a car through Enterprise, you won’t be charged drop-off fees if you’re flying on Alaska.
First launched in Walla Walla in late 2011, the Taste and Tote program expands to the Yakima and Tri-Cities airports beginning in September.
