Downtown has many tasting rooms. There are additional ones on the outskirts of town, usaully on the farms where the grapes are grown. Here are a few words on some of the places that we visited.
Bergevin-Lane Hey, Bergevin has been a well known name in Walla Walla for generations. One of the first wine places that I have visited in town, now a "must stop" on any Walla Walla trip. This winery is owned by two women and stick to their theme. The people are friendly and pleasant. The tasting room is closed on Sunday, so we went by on a Sunday and it was open. Bonus points for that. Wines are moderately priced and delicious.
Dunham Cellars Has a tasting room near the airport. Also, one of Walla Walla's older wineries. This family also has a history in town. Dog Maysy is very friendly and interactive with visitors. Has tasting room with gift shop and a huge banquet room.
Zerba Cellars Located just South of the Stateline in Oregon. Nice setting (pictured above) with log cabin, adjacent deck, nice lady, whom I believe is one of the family poured some tasty wine.
Amavi Cellars On Pepper Bridge Road, the deck of it's new tasting room deck has sweeping view of the Blue Mountains.
Sleight Of Hand The most creative concept in wines, it got it's name from a Pearl Jam album. The Wine maker was pouring, we found him very engaging and friendly. The mound of dirt next to the tasting room made a great playground for my nephews. As my nephew, Ethan says," who needs a frisbee when you have a pile of dirt." The tasting room has an extensive record collection and let us pick an album to play while we were visiting.
- Cayuse On Main Street in the center of town, it announces it's presence, yet it's never open.
