Southside Wineries
of Walla Walla

The wineries of the valley are generally gathered into four separate regions,
convenient for daily tasting tours.

Basel Cellars Estate Winery

Basel Cellars Estate Winery had its beginnings in 2002. When the opportunity presented itself, local grape grower Greg Basel purchased the Estate House and the surrounding 85 acre Double River Ranch. He saw in this site two vital components to creating an estate winery.

The first: nature. The rich soil and the hilltop position between Yellowhawk Creek and the Walla Walla River made for the perfect vineyard site

The second: a manmade, 9600 sq. ft., temperature controlled, subterranean structure (now referred to by the team as the “batcave”) which had previously housed a car collection. The underground space was as perfect for winemaking as the caves of France! Plus, the idea of using the beautiful Estate home as a tasting room added to the appeal. And so, Basel Cellars Estate Winery was born when the Basel family began producing high caliber wines and transformed the stately lodge at the top of the hill into a wine country destination and event venue for many others to enjoy.
