This year's wine tour will be a first class experience with hotel accommodations, meals, and of course winery tours and tastings, including a premier winery event on a private ranch.

Friday will begin with an adventurous drive from Seattle to the far reaches of southeastern Washington.  We will leave the urban sprawl to experience rural highways and scenery changing from forests to mountains, farmland, rivers, wheat fields and finally vineyards.  You will pack a picnic lunch to be consumed at a scheduled stop somewhere east of the mountains.

Saturday and Sunday will each begin with a hot buffet breakfast at the hotel followed by a short driver meeting.  The schedule is a bit more leisurely than we've planned for past tours.  Each day will feature 3 wineries and include some free time to explorer on your own or with a small group.

There will be two special treats this year. On Saturday afternoon, Spring Valley Vineyard will host us at their vineyard and ranch, tucked into the rolling wheat field hills, where we will be treated to a private tour, tasting and lunch served in the vineyard.  Spring Valley consistently produces 90+ point wines and is frequently in Wine Spectator's Top 100 list.

The second treat will occur on Saturday evening as we enjoy a group dinner at the historic Whitehouse-Crawford Restaurant which is literally steps from our hotel.  Whitehouse-Crawford is the fine dining staple of Walla Walla, known for using the freshest ingredients available from the rich Eastern Washington fields.

Wineries currently scheduled are Reininger Winery, Dunham Cellars, Spring Valley Vineyard, Pepper Bridge Winery, Northstar Winery and Waters Winery.
