Walla Walla…Surprise, surprise.
The Walla Walla Valley is a rainbow of scenic beauty -- golden hillsides melting into broad expanses of crimson fields. Lush evergeens casting shadows over backcountry trails during noon-day sun. And the many waters which give the region its name sparkle as they flow to the mighty Snake and Columbia rivers.
In this setting, it’s easy to find just the right outdoor experience for each individual and every family. Because of the almost year-round sunshine, festivals have a perfect environment in which to thrive - from May to December the area is totally geared up for fun. The Valley’s reputation for producing wines of superb quality has been established and as the number of wineries and vineyards continued to grow, so did the camaraderie. The community and the setting make it ideal for creating and enjoying wine.
We invite you to come and experience the unique blend of new, historic, traditional and innovative that is Walla Walla!
