Holiday Barrel Tasting is held annually the first full weekend in December, and is certain to get you into the holiday spirit. Winemakers often provide tasting samples of future releases directly from the barrels, and new releases often include barrel samples from the previous year's tasting. Downtown is beautifully decorated for the holidays and the wineries provide a bounty of food, music and art. Come visit Walla Walla for a truly memorable holiday experience.
