    The wine was great and the space downtown is a wonderful tasting room! Our pourer was amazing and very knowledgeable about the wines.

    We went to this winery with a small group of six and had a great time!!! The service was top notch and the wines were excellent. Brand new winery. They even serve delicious sourdough crackers to cleanse the palate between wines. Looking forward to returning here soon.

    Pursued by Bear Wines are are some of our favorite Walla Walla wines and we're thrilled that they have recently opened a tasting room in town. Kyle MacLachlan (of Twin Peaks, Portlandia, etc. fame) is the proprietor. His exquisite taste and tremendous talents are reflected in these wines. Amy was our "hostess" today. She is the winemaker at Abeja and her husband is the winemaker for Pursued by Bear. Amy clearly knows her wines, she is incredibly knowledgeable and absolutely delightful to speak speak with. We are excited to try her wines at a Abeja! The tasting room is quaint and decorated in a classy way with a hint of rustic decor. It's wam and inviting. The life size bronze bear is a wonderful centerpiece! They have a little gift shop area with wine glasses, wine key, coffee mug, water bottle, books, etc. They also sell the delicious crackers that they served us for our tasting. Amazing wines! Adorable tasting room.

    My husband and I are in Walla Walla for the holiday weekend and had to stop by for a tasting at Pursued By Bear. We had heard about this tasting room/winery through instagram when the owner, Kyle MacLachlan, posted about it. Gwen and Stacy, our wine experts, were incredibly knowledgeable about the wines and you could sense how much they love their jobs. They also provided great recommendations for other Walla Walla activities and eateries. The tasting room is quaint and initimate, really ensuring all visitors get a fantastic 1:1 experience. We had a wonderful time and will absolutely be visiting again! Try the Rosè :)

    From the moment we drove up the hill to get to the tasting room sitting at the top, I knew this…read morewould be a memorable experience on our first roadtrip from Seattle to Walla Walla. As my husband and I opened the doors to the building, a hallway with an upwards ramp greeted us. To the right, views of a room full of barrels holding the wines we were about to savor. Straight ahead at the end of the "tunnel," a natural soft light gleamed through floor to ceiling windows. And this was on a cloudy day. We reached the room full of windows and it was instantly the most beautiful tasting room I'd ever seen. I was so happy to be seated in the comfy swivel chairs right next to the window. Although the sky was overcast, it was so pleasant to rest our eyes on the clouds grazing over the rolling hills of the valley. A worker asked if we would like a welcome taste of their sparkling rosé, and we happily obliged. It was delicious. Afterwards, I did the tasting with the lighter wines, while my husband did the tasting of the reds. Of course we both shared sips of everything. A different worker gave us wonderful background info and explanations of each wine we sampled. He even suggested that we try one of the wines at the temp it was given, then warm the glass with our hands for a bit to see how it tasted at that temperature. It was really neat to taste the difference. Another worker with a cool turquoise bolo tie checked in on us and refilled our glasses with water. We felt so wonderfully taken care of. Every wine was delightful, but a few stood out the most... I can't quite remember them all but I believe we really liked the Sauvignon Blanc, a Grenache, and a Cab Franc. We didn't plan on buying bottles that day, but we hope to maybe find them at a store near us. In the end, we absolutely loved our experience at Echolands and vowed we would return the next time we're in Walla Walla.

    4 star rating is the combined score for my husband and I, taking into consideration the view,…read moretasting room/property, service, wine quality, and overall impression. We are wine drinkers of 30 years, beginning in Italy and Oregon, and have been coming to Walla Walla for 20 years. View: 5 Tasting room/property: 5 - We had seats by the windows and appreciated the electric car chargers. Service: 4 - We love coming to Walla Walla because we often get to talk with the wine maker. This was definitely not the case here. However, our host Thea was very knowledgeable and engaging! Wine Quality: 3 - We had a white flight and a red flight. The varietals and descriptions sounded like they matched our taste perfectly, but with the extra pours 7 of 9 missed the mark. My husband even questioned if they used an odd detergent to wash their glasses. A vintner in town told us their wines are improving, so we might try again, except for the next category... Overall Impression: 2.5 - The owners are two men who live out of state. MINUS. The estate is managed organically and sustainably. PLUS. Honestly this is probably enough reason for us to not return because there are so many amazing locally owned wineries in WW with better wine.

The…read morereservation process itself was easy, but the number of follow-up emails and text messages was a bit overwhelming. I understand that it's a small, family-run business, but receiving multiple confirmations felt excessive and not quite the relaxed vibe one looks for while on vacation. That said, the property itself is gorgeous and the setting is beautiful both indoors and outdoors. We were seated outside, and the service was fantastic. Our sommelier was friendly, engaging, and made the experience enjoyable. She took the time to sit with on the parties and have a personal one on one chat .The wines themselves were excellent ,we even ended up buying a bottle. Overall, it was a lovely visit, but it's probably not a place I would prioritize returning to on a future trip.

The staff/owner, were incredibly friendly and made us feel truly welcome with her smile The ambience is modern and inviting perfect for enjoying a glass of wine. The restrooms were spotless and stylish, and a thoughtful touch was the dark chocolate in the women's restroom, which was a lovely surprise. I really enjoyed the overall tasting experience. The tasting menu included two reds and one white, all of which were excellent. The most surprising part came at the end, when we were ready to pay and the staff informed us that the tasting was complimentary. We were genuinely shocked and grateful, and we ended up purchasing two bottles.
