Bledsoe Wine Estates Continues Expansion with New Tasting Room in the Southern Walla Walla Valley for its Bledsoe Family Winery

WALLA WALLA, Wash., July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bledsoe Wine Estates, a name synonymous with excellence in winemaking, today announced plans for a new tasting room in the southern region of Walla Walla Valley for its Bledsoe Family Winery. Construction of the new tasting room, located off Pepper's Bridge Road, will begin in Spring 2025. The new tasting room comes on the heels of opening its Bledsoe McDaniels winery in Oregon's Willamette Valley last spring.

The winery has enlisted the expertise of Signum Architecture to bring its vision to life. The new facility will be open to the public and designed to host walk-ins, individual groups, and private events, with particular attention paid to its designed outdoor space to accommodate large wine club member events. The firm aims to design the new Bledsoe Family Winery tasting room to harmonize with the natural beauty of the Walla Walla Valley.

"We've loved our Bledsoe Family Winery tasting room in downtown Walla Walla and the community has been great to us, but we've outgrown the space and need to give our growing wine club members the space and more importantly, the experience they deserve. The majority of our wine club members travel to come see us and we want to pay off that journey in a significant way that feels unique to us," said Bledsoe Family Winery CEO and Director of Winemaking, Josh McDaniels. "We've been very measured in our expansion plans and continue to be encouraged by the growth we're experiencing across each of our brands. Given the metrics we're seeing it feels like the right time. I'm also especially proud to expand our presence in Drew's and my hometown and continue showcasing some the best grapes in our region to our fellow wine lovers."

Bledsoe Wine Estates has experienced significant growth in its relatively short history. With three brands under its umbrella brand, it now has wineries and tasting rooms in Washington and Oregon. In addition to Walla Walla and the Willamette Valley, Bledsoe Family Wine also has a tasting room in Bend, Oregon.

Its current tasting room, located in downtown Walla Walla will remain open until construction is complete on its new facility.

Walla Walla is also home to the Bledsoe Wine Estates award-winning flagship brand, Doubleback, which focuses on estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon. Doubleback offers a more exclusive experience as a private, appointment-only tasting room offering tours and seated tastings.
