Spring Release Party

I am so excited I can hardly contain myself! Spring Release Weekend here in the Walla Walla Valley is fast approaching and the town is a-buzz with all kinds of exciting events! And speaking of exciting events, we are hosting a shindig of our own. Saturday, May 7th 5pm-10pm we will be celebrating with wine, food, music, and fun at the Tranche Vineyard. There will be a wine tasting of new and library releases. Great food from Andrae's Kitchen will be served. And you won't want to miss the rockin' music from Imperial Twang. And to top the evening off, we will be having a s'more's roast and bonfire at dusk.

Enjoy all the great winery open houses through the weekend, but make sure to join us for great wine and a great time Saturday night of Spring Release Weekend in Walla Walla.

Spring Has Sprung at Tranche Vineyards

Since the weather was absolutely gorgeous Friday afternoon, it seemed like a good idea to pop over to our vineyard and check in on the new plantings. James, our vineyard manager, and his crew have been hard at work installing the posts, and once the vines are bigger we'll run the trellis wire. What currently looks like sticks in the ground, will soon grow into phenomenal fruit producing vines! We have planted some exciting and truly fun varietals: Viognier, Marsanne, Clairette Blanc, Picpoul Blanc, Grenache Blanc, and Rousanne. 

Since it was so nice out and I was already there, I decided to check out some of our other vines that have already been pruned, are embracing the Spring spirit, and are in the beginning stages their growing season. What a lovely way to end the work week!
