Get To Know Walla Walla Wine

Looking to try some delicious wine from Walla Walla, Washington?

Walla Walla wines are a delicious find, but they’re still quite hard to source outside of Oregon and Washington. Why? Well, with less than 2000 vineyard acres, most wines are soaked up by local markets in Seattle, Portland and the surrounding Northwest. So, if you really want to sample what the region has to offer you might just have to make a trip.

Not if you’re lucky enough to live in San Diego!  Come in to Négociant today to try our 2014 Cabernet Franc or our 2014 Nebbiolo, both from Walla Walla!  We think they are beautiful examples of what fruit from Walla Walla can do!
