Wine Grapes and Bulk Wine from Walla Walla County

The Walla Walla Valley appellation is unusual because it crosses a state line. Established in 1984, it covers about 300,000 acres in a diamond shape in southeastern Washington and northeastern Oregon, with about two thirds of the land in Washington.

The vineyard area is small, about 2,933 planted acres, but the region has more than 120 wineries, including some of the oldest in Washington. That combination, limited fruit and many wineries, tends to make grape supply competitive. The region is known for Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot, and for Rhone-style blends.

Because the appellation includes Oregon land, it is worth confirming which side of the state line a lot comes from, since some wine can carry the state name only if enough of the fruit is from that state. Lots on HarvestLink are listed by the ton and the gallon, openly or under NDA.

What to check before you buy or sell

  • Ask which side of the state line the vineyard is on. It can affect how the wine may be labeled.
  • Supply is limited, so expect competition for good blocks and consider a multi-year arrangement if you need consistency.
  • For Syrah and Cabernet, ask about the clone, the vine age and the crop load.
  • Ask about winter cold events and how they affected the vintage you are buying.
