Walla Walla Weekend Guide
We spent last weekend in Walla Walla with my brother and his fiancé and it was lovely… lovely to have a kid-free weekend, eat delicious food, taste amazing wine, and get to see where my brother and future sister-in-law are getting married! My little brother and Megan’s husband, Ryan, both attended Whitman College in Walla Walla, so they are experts on the area and helped put together a list of all the spots you don’t want to miss. So, if you have been thinking about taking a trip to Walla Walla or are just looking for a wonderful wine-filled weekend away – here you go (our very VERY favorites our in bold)!
