In the winery’s own words, via the Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance member profile:
Surrounded by golden wheat fields and the rolling foothills of the Blue Mountains, Abeja is a celebrated Walla Walla winery, an idyllic country inn, and a fine dining destination. Set on a picturesque 38-acre historic farmstead, the property features estate vineyards, a meandering creek, lush gardens, and fragrant lavender fields. Tastings, available by appointment, provide an intimate opportunity to experience Abeja’s acclaimed wines in a serene setting. Winemakers Dan Wampfler and Amy Alvarez-Wampfler craft each bottle with meticulous care, their dedication to quality and sense of place evident in every sip.
The Inn at Abeja offers a stay unlike any other, where thoughtfully restored turn-of-the-century farmstead buildings have been transformed into spacious private cottages and suites. Just minutes from downtown Walla Walla yet a world away, the Inn provides a peaceful, immersive wine-country retreat. Guests enjoy warm hospitality, a gourmet two-course breakfast, and a complimentary tasting of Abeja wines.
In the evening, The Kitchen at Abeja invites guests to indulge in a refined yet welcoming dining experience. Executive Chef Mike Easton’s five-course prix-fixe menu, served Thursday through Sunday, highlights the bounty of the Pacific Northwest. Each dish is crafted with the same attention to detail that defines Abeja’s winemaking. The Kitchen is open to all – guests of the Inn, visitors to the Walla Walla Valley, and the surrounding community.
