Echolands Estate, the flagship winery, vineyard, production facility, and tasting room of Echolands Winery is one of the newest and most remarkable additions to the Walla Walla Valley’s renowned wine country scene. Opened in April 2024, the 341-acre Echolands Estate was built on a mission of crafting sustainable and responsibly produced wines sourced only from local Walla Walla fruit. Together with head winemaker Brian Rudin, founders Brad Bergman and Doug Frost—one of only four individuals in the world to simultaneously hold Master of Wine and Master Sommelier titles—grow and create beautifully balanced wines that are true to the distinct style and characteristics of Walla Walla’s terroir. Echolands’ dedication to responsible viticulture and winemaking results in elegant wines that share a deep connection to the land they come from.
