Spotlights

From land to label, a name carries a legacy at the same time that it creates one.

In this series — “What’s in a name?” — we shed light on what’s behind, and in, the names of Walla Walla wineries, which often meet at the intersections of culture, history, and generations. You may have heard the name, and even had the name, but do you know what went into both? Take a look below at some of the origin stories of Walla Walla winery names. And far below, enjoy a few in-depth featured: one that focuses on the future and one that zooms into terroir.
