Overview
Walla Walla punches well above its weight as a small Washington town with a world-class wine scene—over 100 wineries producing award-winning vintages in a welcoming, unpretentious setting. Beyond the tasting rooms, the town offers Oregon Trail history at Fort Walla Walla and the Whitman Mission, a charismatic Main Street lined with galleries, and the energy of a college town thanks to Whitman College.
