Where to Find the Best Red Mountain Wine
Many of our guests travel to our beautiful region with wine tasting in mind, and the best way to do this is by arranging all your transportation beforehand. This way, you can focus on enjoying yourself at these incredible Walla Walla, Columbia Valley, and Red Mountain wine areas. Luckily for our guests, we offer luxury wine tours in the surrounding areas, where you can pick your itinerary and sit back and sip.
Here are five wineries where you’ll find some delicious Red Mountain wines:
- Col Solare: When two influential winemakers came together from Washington State and Tuscany, they created this winery in the Red Mountains known for its stunning Cabernet Sauvignon. They offer four tasting options, from a classic flight to a barrel room private tour.
- Fidelitas Wines: Located on the slopes of the Red Mountain AVA, the winemakers here have more than 40 years of experience creating big, bold reds. The outdoor patio space with sweeping views of the vineyards is one of the best places to taste some Red Mountain wine.
- Kiona Vineyards and Winery: From the mind of two engineers turned winemakers, you’ll find an exciting array of red varietals to try at this Red Mountain winery. Not only do they make and bottle their own wine, but many local wineries source their fruit from these growing masters.
- Frichette Winery: This family-owned winery produces small-batch, limited case wines. The tasting experience is fantastic, with signature, winemaker, or even mystery flights.
- Terra Blanca Winery: Perched on the southwest slope of the Red Mountains, this family-owned winery is Tuscan-inspired with a beautiful tasting room, cave barrel room, and rolling acres of white and red varietals.
