Private tours
Private days, planned around your group
We pick you up at your hotel and take it from there — out past the wheat fields and into the vineyards. Appointments are set, lunch is arranged, and nobody has to drive. You taste, we take care of the rest, and we load your cases in the back for the ride home.
We book from 100+ wineries across the Walla Walla Valley in Washington and Oregon, including the Rocks District. What each part of the valley is like is in our guide to the wine districts.
Weekend Tour
Thursday – SaturdayThursday through Saturday is when the most rooms are open and the valley has the most going on. We visit estate and scenic properties out in the valley rather than the downtown tasting rooms, with lunch in the middle of the day. These dates fill first.
Includes
- —Pickup and drop-off at your hotel or rental
- —Set appointments
- —Lunch planned into the day, with a midday tasting or at a restaurant downtown (the meal is paid separately)
- —A guide who knows the winemakers and the valley
Early Week Tour
Sunday – WednesdayMidweek is when the valley is at its best for a taster who wants to talk. Tasting rooms are calmer, staff are less stretched, and winemakers are more often on the property. Same planning, same vehicles, and a noticeably slower pace.
Includes
- —Pickup and drop-off at your hotel or rental
- —Set appointments
- —Quieter rooms and longer conversations
- —Lunch planned into the day, with a midday tasting or at a restaurant downtown (the meal is paid separately)
- —A guide who knows the winemakers and the valley
Origins Tour
Open dates · Private on requestA tour of the founding estates: family-owned properties that established the Walla Walla Valley as a wine region and are still run by the people whose name is on the label.

Includes
- —Founding, family-owned estates
- —The history behind each property
- —Lunch planned into the day, with a midday tasting or at a restaurant downtown (the meal is paid separately)
- —Scheduled open dates, or privately on request — ask us about upcoming dates

Shared tours
Per-person shared tours run any day of the week at $95 per guest ($115 with lunch), five hours, curated to the same standard and a wonderful way to meet people with similar interests. Sunday through Wednesday they depart with a minimum of two guests; Thursday through Saturday the minimum is six. Our team operates them, and Walla Walla Travel handles the bookings.
Fewer than six on a Thursday through Saturday? You can book seats and wait for the departure to fill, or take a private day instead — from $95 an hour for two, and it runs whether or not anyone else books. Compare the two side by side.
Tell us what you have in mind
Harvest weekends, a proposal, a corporate retreat, or a single cellar visit before dinner. If it happens in this valley, we can usually arrange it.
