A Trip to Walla Walla Wineries is Deliciously Esthetic

Walla Walla, WA. A lifestyle story… About a four hour drive northeast of Portland, more than 100 wineries draw wine lovers. The Walla Walla Valley is home to 1,800 acres of vineyards and a beautiful agricultural landscape. Photos from a recent trip give you an idea of what to expect.

The new Long Shadows winery and tasting room are dramatically located on a hill with a grand view of surrounding countryside with very simple modern architecture highlighted by Dale Chihuly’s glass art including a chandelier and several large organic pieces.

Spanish for bee, the Abeja winery was inspired by the simple beauty of farming the earth.

The luxury Inn at Abeja, is a lovely place to stay. It is a century-old farm with beautifully restored buildings in the rolling foothills of Walla Walla’s Blue Mountains.

Created by Portlanders Ken and Ginger Harrison, Abeja has private wine tasting just for guest of the inn.

Walla Walla’s L’Ecole wine is sold in all 50 states, Canada and Japan.

Woodward Canyon has a small restaurant on site and is now offering small plates in the Reserve House on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays beginning at 11:30 AM.

There are some great restaurant located in downtown Walla Walla which receive good reviews:

The farmer’s market in downtown Walla Walla is also worth exploring.

The Walla Walla Farmer’s Market is located & 4th and Main.

There’s a website with lots of news about the market: http://www.gowallawallafarmersmarket.com/
