I love saying that name! Plus it is a very nice city of about 38,000 people and tons of wineries and tasting rooms and good restaurants.
We arrived on Thursday after a lovely drive through the Walla Walla Hills. The miles and miles of golden wheat fields over rolling hills contrasted with the green corn, orchards and vineyards in the valleys made for idyllic scenery. We were told that this region produces 1% of the world's wheat!
Once we got settled into the campground we rode our bikes to their downtown which is located only 1/2 mile from our RV. There are lots of tasting rooms as well as a Macy's, shops and restaurants. Our first stop was a bike shop to fix my flat tire. We walked 1/2 block and stopped into Charles Smith Winery tasting room. We then found another tasting room for Sinclair Estates Vineyards. We also checked the menus at several restaurants and got recommendations of places to eat. By the time we did all of that, my bike was fixed and we headed back to the RV for naps and showers before dinner.
We ate at T. Maccarone's and had a shared four course dinner that was very good. We had a bottle of Abeja red wine blend that was very good. We plan to find that winery for a tasting. As we strolled the streets after dinner, we ended up back at Charles Smith who had a blues band playing and BBQ on the side. We ended the evening visiting with a nice vintner who invited us to his place before we leave the area.
