Reveal Walla Walla Valley Wine Celebrates Success

The Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance announced that they sold 38 lots for $86,500 at their first-ever Reveal Walla Walla Valley wine auction.

Executive Director Duane Wollmuth said they offered unique blends that are not available anywhere else.

“The No. 1 objective was to draw the trade into Walla Walla and experience both Walla Walla wines and the people behind those wines and then the entire setting.”

The auction was one of five events held over two days that included dinners, networking events and more.

Wollmuth says this will be an annual event after getting such a positive response from not only the auction winners, but it allowed a showcase for the area.

“It’s the people behind the wines too, the winemakers and the people with the wineries and the vineyards that really make the experience what it is for Walla Walla.”

Wollmuth says they’ll release a highlight video in May as a way to get people to put it on their calendars for next year.
