Holiday Barrel Tasting

First Full Weekend of December
DECEMBER 6th & 7th, 2008

Holiday Barrel Tasting is an annual event held on the first full weekend of December in the Walla Walla Valley. Winemakers and their cellar staff will be on hand as over 50 wineries open their barrel rooms for the Valley’s 12th annual Holiday Barrel Tasting. This event gives the public an opportunity to meet the winemakers and gain an insight to the creative process behind how they make their wines. Visitors will taste samples of future releases straight from the barrel and be the first to enjoy the wines of a new vintage.

In the tradition of this eclectic group of wineries, each winery participates in their own special way offering a variety of different features including food, music, art exhibits, wine dinners, cooking demonstrations, poetry readings, and more, all within the festive atmosphere of the season. Some of this past year’s unique festivities include a tasting of local cheeses, winemaker dinners, and even a chance to warm up with a “battle of the soups.”
