What Makes This Place Special
Bold Reds
The lineup includes multiple Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and other red bottlings that showcase structure and depth, poured alongside the whites.
Crisp Whites
They pour vibrant, high-acid whites like Sauvignon Blanc that are described as racy, bone-dry and food-friendly.
Family-Owned
The project is run hands-on by its founding partners, who personally pour and host guests, giving it a small, family-style feel even if the “family” is longtime friends rather than a large corporate team.
Good for Groups
The bright, modern space offers bar seating, banquettes, lounge chairs and a group table, and they invite larger parties to contact them so they can host if possible.
Hidden Gem
Tucked into a historic 1905 downtown Walla Walla building that previously housed another small winery, it has the feel of a discovery spot just a few blocks off the main hotel hub.
Outdoor Seating
While the focus is on the interior space, guests can enjoy the downtown setting just steps from the street, making it easy to spill out and enjoy the neighborhood between tastes.
Pet Friendly
Dogs are specifically welcomed in the tasting room, so you can bring your pup along for a flight.
Private Tastings
Tastings are typically led by the winemakers themselves, and they encourage guests to reach out for off-hours visits, making it easy to arrange a more personalized, appointment-style experience.
Tours Offered
By appointment and off-hours hosting, they create opportunities for more in-depth, guided experiences that go beyond a standard drop-in tasting.
Wine Club
With small-production bottlings and a direct connection to guests in the tasting room, they support ongoing relationships through club-style offerings and allocations.
