Fall translates to fun travels, from pumpkin patches to grape vines to turning leaves
Walla Walla
Avoid the rush of oenophiles rushing to California’s Wine Country to partake of the annual harvest crush and head 750 miles north instead, to Washington’s Walla Walla region, where 1,500 acres of rolling vineyards host over 100 wineries replete with quality Syrahs, Merlots, Sauvignon Blancs, and Chardonnays. This happening viticultural area, with its tasting rooms, restaurants, boutiques, and deluxe inns, makes a great alternative to popular Napa, at a fraction of the cost, to boot.
How: Walla Walla is easily accessible by car from Portland (4 hours), Seattle (about 4 hours), or Spokane (3 hours). Fly direct to Walla Walla Regional Airport (ALW) from Seattle (Horizon Air; 1 hour).
