What Makes This Place Special

Bold Reds

The focus is on Bordeaux varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec, so tastings lean heavily into structured, bold reds.

Cozy Atmosphere

Guests can relax in comfortable seating, including cozy chairs around an outdoor fire pit that invite you to linger.

Estate-Grown

The wines are made from the estate vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley, tying the tasting directly to the surrounding vines.

Events / Weddings

The appointment-based, high-touch format and spacious indoor and outdoor areas lend themselves well to special events and elevated gatherings.

Family-Owned

The brand story centers on the owner’s Italian family heritage, with vineyards and wines named in homage to relatives, giving the experience a family-driven feel.

Food Available

Every tasting comes with scratch-made, seasonal small plates that are thoughtfully paired with each wine, prepared by an in-house culinary team.

Good for Groups

Seated tastings are capped at around twenty people per time slot, so groups get plenty of space and attention without the room ever feeling crowded.

Hidden Gem

Outdoor Seating

Private Tastings
