Cadaretta winery in the foothill of the Blue Mountains in southeast Washington, the Walla Walla Valley has over 1,600 acres of grapes planted next to fruit orchards and wheat fields. Close to 90 wineries now call the region home. The Walla Walla Valley is also home to both Cadaretta and our estate vineyard, Southwind. The valley’s latitude (46° north) is the same as the Burgundy and Bordeaux regions of France. Latitude 46° produces long, hot summer days and cool nights, developing a perfect balance of sugars and acids in the grapes.
