Va Piano, photography by Derri Reid
Chi Va Piano, Va Sano e Va Lontano.
This Italian proverb, from which we take our name, means when you go slowly, you go safely and you go far . At Va Piano, we’re all about slowing down and enjoying the best of life: family, friends, shared stories and laughter, good food and of course, great wine.
Every bottle of Va Piano captures the best characteristics of the region; we focus on small lot Cabernet Sauvignons, Syrahs and red blends from our Walla Walla Valley estate vineyards, as well as fruit from other premier growers in the Columbia Valley.
