Winter in the Walla Walla Valley with fresh fallen snow carpeting the top of the Blue Mountains makes for a picture postcard vista and backdrop for the 2010 Holiday Barrel Tasting Weekend. Over 50 of the Valley’s wineries will be decked-out for the holiday season, welcoming thousands of guests, while offering a variety of festivities as unique as the wineries themselves.

Whether it is a locally catered spread, the infamous “Battle of the Soups,” or local hand-crafted chocolates, each winery will offer something special for their guests. Winemakers will be on hand to introduce their new wines as well as future wines still in the barrel. Visitors can be the first to enjoy the new vintage and take home a selection of wines, many of which can be found only by visiting the wineries and tasting rooms themselves. We hope you will plan to spend the Holiday Barrel weekend with valley’s wineries.

For a full listing of Holiday Barrel participating wineries, hours and events please visit www.wallawallawine.com/holidaybarrel to download your Holiday Barrel booklet, email info@wallawallwine.com, or go to one of the following partner wine shops near you:
