WWVWA Affiliate Membership Application 2010-2011

Since 2003, businesses have had the opportunity to participate in the Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance Affiliate Membership Program. These businesses are regionally, if not nationally, recognized for their expertise, experience and quality business practices. They understand the complex needs of the over 100 wineries and growers who make up our Valley and are often the first to provide services to our industry. As a hospitality member, there are many benefits you will be able to take advantage of, including advertising opportunities directly to our Alliance members and winery visitor community. WWVWA Hospitality Affiliate Members are also first in line to receive information about consumer and trade events produced by the Alliance and potential cross-promotional opportunities and sponsorships to these highly targeted markets.

To complete your Affiliate Membership Application please review and select from the following three levels of membership. Please contact the WWVWA office with any questions, we’d be happy to assist you in your membership selections. You may reach us at info@wallawallawine.com or by phone at 509.526.3117.
