In a recent feature article on Washington wine country by Seattle Met magazine, they call out the incredible dining scene found at the local Walla Walla restaurants, naming it a “full-fledged dining destination.” More chefs from Seattle and other big cities are feeling the draw to this part of the state—in part to the successful wineries, local produce and fresh farm goods, and the sunshine.
We’ve been on the pulse of culinary trends at our Walla Walla Bed and Breakfast for years, and you’ll experience that on the menu of our on-site, fine dining restaurant, The Vine. You’ll find multi-coursed menus packed with local Northwest ingredients, some of which come directly from our very own garden. Our wine list is extensive, with bottles from the best Walla Walla wineries and from around the world. Additionally, one doesn’t have to be a guest of the Inn to enjoy this culinary journey!
As a guest at Cameo Heights, you’ll want to dine at The Vine Fine Dining at least once during your stay—though we often see our overnight guests eating here multiple times. And with such a fantastic selection of Walla Walla restaurants, you’ll want to head out and enjoy the downtown options.
