I didn’t have the chance to speak with the owner/winemaker, Ashley Trout during my visit BUT I recently attended one of her virtual wine tastings where I learned even more about her Walla Walla winery and background as one of the few female winemakers in Walla Walla (and the United States). You guys, she’s a total rock star!

I’m super exited to share a recent interview I had with Ashley Trout over Zoom, aka a 2020 Covid-vintage interview. We chat about her journey into the wine industry and becoming an award-winning winemaker. Ashley also shares information on her two wineries, including her nonprofit winery, Vital Wines. AND, a little insights into the 2020 vintage and ideas on fun things to do in Walla Walla.

If you’re panning to visit the Walla Walla wine country, make sure to add Brook & Bull Cellars to your sipping list. In the meantime, you can sip in a little Walla Walla right now. Cheers!
