Tucked into the rolling hills of southeastern Washington, Walla Walla is a town where history, hospitality, and world-class wine converge. Once a key stop on the Oregon Trail and home to the Walla Walla and Cayuse tribes, the city has grown into a vibrant destination that honors its past while embracing the future.


With over 130 wineries, Walla Walla Valley is a wine lover’s paradise. Whether you're sipping Syrah in a downtown tasting room or exploring the scenic Southside vineyards, the region offers a rich and approachable wine experience.


But Walla Walla is more than just wine. Its walkable downtown is filled with art galleries, farm-to-table restaurants, and historic architecture. Cultural gems like the Gesa Power House Theatre and the Walla Walla Symphony add to the city’s creative pulse.


From hiking in the Blue Mountains to enjoying a leisurely bike ride through vineyard trails, there’s no shortage of things to do. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or attending a special event like the Rotary District Conference, Walla Walla welcomes you with open arms—and a glass of something delicious.
