Navigate the Walla Walla Valley easily with our
interactive and comprehensive set of wine touring maps

     The Walla Walla Valley wine region is the most remote of all Washington State wine regions.  Ironically, that remoteness may be an advantage for Washington wineries located there.  Some say it is the major contributing factor to the well-known esprit de corps of Walla Walla

wineries and their vintners.  Others say Washington wineries within this arid, 530 square-mile appellation are setting the standard for Northwest winemaking -- especially when it comes to Merlots and Cabernet Sauvignons.

        Lying within the larger Columbia Valley Appellation, the Walla Walla wine region includes land in both Washington and Oregon -- from the far southeast corner of Washington State to the northeast tip of Oregon.
       While all but just a few Walla Walla wineries are located in Washington, vineyards grow in both states.  Vineyard acreage totaled 800 acres in 1999, 1,200 in 2001 and 1,600 in 2010.  More than 100 wineries call the Walla Walla Valley Appellation home.  Those listed below are open to the public during some part of each year, although some ask that you call first.

       The geologic past of the Walla Walla Valley is riddled with cataclysmic events -- events that contributed to today's fine grape-growing soils.  Enormous basaltic lava flows (dating back 15 million years) established the foundation of the Columbia Plateau (which also includes the Walla Walla Plateau), the earth's youngest basalt plateau

        Beginning about 15,000 years ago, periodic failures of huge ice dams caused giant "glacier outbursts" every 35 to 55 years.  Huge volumes of water behind these dams burst through, scouring out channels and pot holes in the landscape where water velocities were highest.  The "Channeled Scablands" of today's eastern Washington are the result of these phenomenal floods, documented as the largest in geologic history.  When flood waters retreated, ponds were left behind, as they were in the Walla Walla wine region, and fine-grained slack-water sediments were deposited.  Geologically speaking, ancient geologic catastrophe has set many a stage for some of the best winegrowing regions of the Northwest.
