Walla Walla Valley
Walla Walla Valley

Nestled in the southeastern corner of Washington along its border with Oregon, Walla Walla Valley falls within the greater Columbia Valley region and has a pristine reputation for bold red wines. Vineyards grow in valley floors and on rolling hills within the foothills of the Blue Mountains. The climate in the valley is classic continental—hot, dry days are mitigated by cooler nights thanks to influences from the nearby mountain ranges. This environment allows the fruit to develop deeply concentrated flavors, which can be seen in the beautiful wines the region produces.
