In the winery’s own words, via the Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance member profile:

Forgeron Cellars is a true urban winery located in an old blacksmith building in Downtown Walla Walla. The old blacksmith building has been transformed into our tasting room and office; a new building was constructed for barrel storage and a state-of-the-art crush facility built for processing grapes. Our mission is to produce small-lot artisan wines that flawlessly reveal each vineyard, varietal, and appellation.

Long established, the winery continues to work with many of the region’s top grape growers to ensure the production of some of the most appealing wines Washington has to offer. We invite you to come spend an afternoon with us enjoying a tasting flight and gourmet charcuterie board. While reservations are encouraged, walk-ins are welcome.
