What I remember of the trip is not so much the wines but the trip to get there and the views of the landscape. We flew into Portland (PDX) airport, rented a car and drove to Walla Walla. The weather was hot and after traversing the country and renting the car, it seemed like a very long trip.<\/p>\n<p>Other things I remember are the numerous signs for Walla Walla onions. If only we did not have to return home via air, we would have stopped to buy onions. Oh, that\u2019s right we were on a mission to explore the renowned wineries of Walla Walla.<\/p>\n<p>Previous to this visit we had been to the Seattle suburban wineries located in Woodinville. The wineries\/tasting rooms were nice and the location so close to Seattle was great. The residents of Seattle have a wonderful opportunity to visit tasting rooms right on their doorstep. However, this area is not conducive for growing grapes. So while they have many tasting rooms, the vineyards are lacking.<\/p>\n<p>Not so in Walla Walla where wine enthusiasts can visit many wineries, tasting rooms and view acres upon acres of vineyards. Unfortunately Walla Walla is not particularly easy and quick to reach from Seattle or Portland. It\u2019s about a four hour drive from either city\u2019s airport.<\/p>\n<p>So some Walla Walla wineries are promoting their wines by locating tasting rooms closer to Seattle and hosting events off-site. In February you may want to discover Walla Walla wines in Seattle or Portland.<\/p>\n<p>February 10, 2014<br \/>\nEvent: Walla Walla Wine @ McCaw Hall<br \/>\nLocation: Seattle<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/walla-walla-wine-mccaw-hall-general-admission-tickets-9115455573\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Tickets<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>February 24, 2014<br \/>\nEvent: Walla Walla Wine @ Pure Space<br \/>\nLocation: Portland, Oregon<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/walla-walla-wine-pure-space-general-admission-tickets-9135988989\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Tickets<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>For more information visit the <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wallawallawine.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance<\/span><\/a><\/span> website.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!
