A New Kind of Wine Travel
Walla Walla, a First Nations name meaning “many waters,” is nestled along the eastern Washington-Oregon border against a backdrop of lush green hills and abundant rivers. Considered one of the most gorgeous towns in Washington state, Walla Walla’s rich soils support a thriving agricultural region its residents are proud of. A wide range of crops is grown here, like wheat, berries, apples, and asparagus, and its famous Sweet Onions.
But Walla Walla’s real claim to fame has become its world-class wines, boasting over 120 wineries producing exceptional varieties that lovingly reflect the range and complexity of the region’s appellation and valley.
They say Walla Walla is “the town so nice they named it twice,” and it’s true. The Walla Walla wine community, in particular, is so tight-knit and welcoming that a few of the local visionaries lead with the tenets: “a rising tide floats all boats” and “you push the person in front of you and pull the person behind you.” This flourishing wine region stands apart in that newcomer vintners – regardless of gender, race, socio-economic background, or winemaking experience – are able to put down roots in this community and find a well of support to blaze their own trail and forge the future of Walla Walla wine.
No matter how you experience the Walla Walla Valley, there really is something for everyone in this stunning place – with its burgeoning art scene and eclectic mix of dining options, outdoor recreation, cheese shops, tasting rooms, breweries, bookstores, and more. Walla Walla will charm your pants off, and we can’t wait to show you around!
