What is the best time of year to visit Walla Walla for wine tasting?
While wine tours are available year-round, the best time to visit is during spring and fall when the weather is mild and the vineyards are at their most beautiful. However, visiting during non-peak times, such as winter or early spring, offers a more intimate and VIP-like experience due to fewer crowds. You’ll often enjoy more personalized attention and a deeper connection with the winemakers. Additionally, midweek visits—regardless of the season—are becoming a popular option for those seeking a more relaxed and attentive wine-tasting experience.
Do you offer tours for large groups or corporate events?
Yes, we are uniquely suited to accommodate large groups and corporate events, offering customized itineraries, transportation options, and more. Our full state and federal licensure ensures that your event is handled with the highest level of professionalism, ethics, and attention to detail, giving you peace of mind knowing that everything is conducted to the highest standards.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule my tour?
We understand that plans can change. While we do have cancellation policies in place, please contact us as soon as possible to discuss rescheduling options, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs. Due to an increase in last-minute changes, we are unable to offer short-notice refunds, similar to industry standards. Please reach out for more details regarding our cancellation policies.
Is gratuity included in the cost of the tour?
Gratuity is not included in the tour cost but is always appreciated if you enjoyed your experience.
After we talk through the options and choose a format together, we collect a deposit to secure the date and initiate the planning process.
