Recently, Travel + Leisure released an impressive list of the 50 best places to visit in 2018. It included some exotic spots, like Zambia, as well as some tried-and-true destinations, like Fiji. And right there in the middle of the list was a place here in Washington.
According to Travel + Leisure, the Walla Walla Valley is one of the 50 best places to visit this year, and we couldn't agree more.
Walla Walla has always been pleasant, but it has been slowly becoming the next hot tourist destination in recent years.
With more than 140 wineries in the valley, the abundance of tasting rooms is a major draw.
The Walla Walla wine scene has never been better. This is the tasting room of the Maison Bleue Winery, conveniently located on 2nd Avenue.
The Walla Walla Valley is absolutely beautiful.
The rolling hills and vineyards make the area seem serene.
There are plenty of events that draw people to Walla Walla, like the annual Balloon Stampede in October...
... but the city itself is so appealing, you don't need an excuse to visit.
The local dining scene is amazing for a city of its size.
From fine dining (Brasserie Four) to casual gastropubs (Public House 124, pictured here) to the tastiest brunch spot on the Planet (Bacon and Eggs), you'll find a little bit of everything in Walla Walla.
You'll find plenty of relaxing accommodations in the Walla Walla Valley, including the gorgeous Green Gables Inn...
... and everyone is eagerly anticipating the grand opening of the Eritage Resort, which is currently being built on 300 acres minutes from the city.
The Eritage is set to open in February, and it's going to be a luxurious resort that rivals anything in Napa.
Needless to say, we agree that Walla Walla should be a top travel destination in 2018 and beyond. And if you're looking for a relaxing and gorgeous place to stay after exploring the city, book yourself a suite at the Cameo Heights Mansion.
