About Bledsoe-McDaniels
For travelers exploring the Walla Walla Valley's cross-border wine country, Bledsoe-McDaniels offers a winery experience with a pace and identity of its own. Bledsoe-McDaniels is a collaboration between Drew Bledsoe and winemaker Josh McDaniels, focused on site-driven wines from estate and select vineyards. The wine program at Bledsoe-McDaniels adds the next layer to the experience. The exact tasting menu at Bledsoe-McDaniels varies, so the current offerings are the best guide to what will be poured. If a particular Bledsoe-McDaniels wine or vintage matters to you, check the current offerings before visiting.
On site, the hospitality style at Bledsoe-McDaniels helps determine whether it is the right stop for your day. The experience is private and vineyard-oriented on the Oregon side of the valley. It is materially different from downtown Bledsoe Family Winery. For planning, treat Bledsoe-McDaniels as private estate tasting by appointment; Oregon-side address. Rather than trying to be everything to everyone, Bledsoe-McDaniels has a clearer fit for travelers who appreciate its particular setting and hospitality style.
The Bledsoe-McDaniels experience is most persuasive for collectors, Syrah and Chardonnay enthusiasts and small parties seeking a premium appointment. Because the Walla Walla Valley crosses the Oregon border, Bledsoe-McDaniels requires exact state and address treatment. Bledsoe-McDaniels benefits from a little extra route planning, especially when it is paired with wineries or attractions outside the major Washington wine hubs. Because schedules at Bledsoe-McDaniels can shift with events and seasons, verify the basics before you go. The public visitor address is in Oregon; do not show it as an ordinary Washington tasting room. Because Bledsoe-McDaniels is appointment-led, secure the visit before building the rest of the day around it.
