Wine Weekend - Walla Walla Valley
Wine scene
With over 120 wineries in the area, some producing world-class wine, the Walla Walla Valley has become home to one of the finest wine regions in the nation. That being said most of the recommendations listed here are from the housekeepers as I don't do a lot of wine tasting myself. They also recommend booking a tasting session in advance as they can be hard to come by last-minute.
