Some great wineries highlighted. If you happen to come back to Walla Walla would recommend: GÅrd Vintners, Woodward Canyon, L'Ecole, and Charles Smith/K Vintners.

Leonetti/ Figgins , L’Ecole/ Woodward Canyon are definitely must-adds. Highly recommend Force Majeure in the Rocks District and I really like Dunham Cellars as well. I will always have a special place in my Heart for A’Maurice, wish it was still there…Solid list 🍷

If you get back to Walla Walla, you should really try some of the lesser known wineries that are producing excellent wines at very attractive price points - 5 Star, Golden Ridge, Gifford Hirlinger, Dunham Cellars, L'Ecole 41, Dumas Station and El Corazon, to name a few.

I have so many takeaways from this excellent Walla Walla video. For starters, I love how comprehensive and detailed it is. You didn’t just give a simple overview or general directions; you walked us through, walked with us even - you held our hands, so to speak. I can tell that a lot of thought and consideration went into making this video. And it it’s such a worthwhile delight watching this and learning so much. Also, I love what learned from it - the climate, the 95% production of red wine vs 5% white (Did I hear this right? Well, this my kind of wine region!😁), the manageable driving distance and time between wineries (another plus point for this region!), the recommended wineries and wines complete with beautiful photos and footages, the must-know information about each winery including tasting prices and inclusions - so much information and all very helpful, reliable, and excellently presented. Such an impressive wine region, and such an impressive video! You’re the best, John! Santé!

Well done video. We just got back from a trip to Washington and visited several wineries in the Tri-Cities area. Really enjoyed the layed back experience and the excellent and affordable wines, tastings, and food. Also met some really nice people. Will hit Walla Walla next time. Definitely did not realize how dry and hot the area can get!

Thanks! Yes, I visited them about 10 years ago. I enjoyed that visit and still have some of the wines left, but definitely prefer the wines from the Cayuse trio (which are admittedly much more costly).
