Overview:
Walla Walla Washington is fast becoming one of the premiere wine growing sections of the United States. There are over 30 wineries in and around the city. This guide is a collection of some of the highlights for tasting as well as food.
Tips:
Most wineries will wave the tasting fee if you buy a bottle. Good time to grow your cellar.
Save some money on the tasting fee and share with your partner. Usually there is enough in a glass for two people to taste.
You can dress up, but don't wear anything you would be afraid to spill a little red wine on.
Spring Release Weekend-First weekend in May when first releases of a new vintage are available.
Vintage Walla Walla is the first weekend in June and is an exclusive annual tasting event celebrating the art of our Walla Walla Valley wineries.
Holiday Barrel Tasting is the first full weekend in December winemakers and cellar staffs provide samples of future releases straight from the barrel.
