Our friends at Woodward Canyon Winery took us on a journey through some of Walla Walla's finest wine.  We were pleased to welcome Sager Small, Viticulture and Production Assistant and Selena Kritsonis, Director of National Sales as our hosts for the evening. The evening featured a dynamic, five-course pairing dinner reflecting the seasonal harvest from local producers and Woodward Canyon's exquisite wines. Rick Small, the winery's owner has deep roots in Walla Walla planting vines back in 1976 on on his family's farm. He along with Gary Figgins, who founded Leonetti Cellars are some of the first wineries to pop up on the scene in the Valley post prohibition.

"Chef Ryan and his team prepares everything from scratch daily including breads, pastas and desserts for dinner service. Chef Ryan will perfectly pair his culinary creations with our latest Woodward Canyon releases to result in a memorable evening showcasing the food and wine of the pacific northwest." - Woodward Canyon Winery
