History:
The Blue Mountains provide a stunning backdrop and frame the valley
that is becoming one of the nation's most desirable regions. The
Walla Walla Valley offers beautiful landscapes, historic
architecture, a rich arts community and superb agricultural
opportunities. Known for its unique growing region, historically the
area's most important commercial crop was wheat. However, over the
last several years vegetable crops such as onions (Walla Walla
Sweets) and grapes have been the valley's dominant commodity. To the
wine world of today, Walla Walla has become known for the quality
and style of its red wines, especially Cabernet Sauvignon and
Merlot. Today, more than 60 Walla Walla Valley wineries and more
than 1,200 acres of grapes contribute to the ever growing,
international acclaim garnered by the wines of this popular region.
