Walla Walla Valley wineries will travel to Seattle, Portland and Boise to share their distinctive terroir-driven wines.
WALLA WALLA, WA. (December 5, 2023) Over 45 Walla Walla Valley wineries are hitting the road in January, February, and March 2024, with stops in Seattle, Portland and Boise. During Walla Walla Wine On Tour, Walla Walla Valley Wine will bring winemakers to each city to share wine crafted from the unique growing sites of the Walla Walla Valley AVA and surrounding areas.
“As the Walla Walla Valley continues to grow as a celebrated wine region, these events provide an unparalleled opportunity for consumers, trade and media to engage directly with winemakers and producers while staying close to home,” says Liz Knapke, Executive Director of Walla Walla Valley Wine. “The tastings in Seattle, Portland and Boise offer something new for everyone – whether you’re a Walla Walla regular or simply just enjoy wine. At each stop, we’ll feature over 125 Walla Walla Valley wines.”
The Walla Walla Wine On Tour tasting events have been hosted in Seattle and Portland dating back to 2012, but 2024 only marks the second event ever held in Boise, ID. “We are excited to offer a two-day event in Boise this March. Over 300 tickets sold out within two weeks last year and we want to ensure those who want to join us have the ability to,” says Knapke. “We know that Boiseans are interested in wine from the Walla Walla Valley, and we look forward to bringing new and exciting opportunities to engage with such a great base of supporters.”
Each Walla Walla Wine On Tour stop features tasting opportunities for wine trade and media, as well as wine consumers in general. Each stop will include an extended tasting session for members of the trade and media, followed by an evening tasting for wine consumers. Tickets to the consumer tasting range from $75-$100. Purchase includes wine and hors d’oeuvres. Advance ticket reservation is required, and all attendees must be 21 or older to attend. Tickets are on sale now at WallaWallaWine.com/Events.
