Walla Walla Valley

Walla Walla Valley is a renowned wine region located along the border of Washington and Oregon, known for producing exceptional Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaking here began in earnest with the founding of Leonetti Cellar in 1977, the valley’s first commercial winery. The region's diverse geography ranges from higher elevations near the Blue Mountains, with cooler temperatures and greater rainfall, to warmer, drier areas on the valley floor. Cayuse Vineyards played a major role in highlighting the distinctive Rocks District of Milton-Freewater subregion, famed for its rocky, cobblestone soils ideal for Syrah. Today, Walla Walla Valley is celebrated for complex, flavorful wines shaped by this wide variety of climates and soils.
