As someone who has visited upwards of 400 wineries over the years, the ones that I find most memorable typically are wineries with both amazing wines and a stunningly beautiful setting. With my love for Architecture (my father is a Landscape Architect) and my love for wineries, this post shares some of my favorite experiences at the most impressive architecturally stunning wineries!
Alton Wines
Alton Wines in Walla Walla deserves a spot on the most impressive architecturally stunning wineries with it’s modern and chic decor. Their tasting room, designed by goCstudio, is elegant yet rustic and casual but luxurious. This beautiful spot has views of the farm, vineyards, mountains, and sky which pairs great with a glass of Alton Wines’ amazing selection of blends.
