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.
