1 month until harvest begins!
It has certainly been a great season at the winery. We have been able to hold so many great events and looking back at 2020 I am incredibly grateful to have been able to fulfill them. That being said we have a huge month of events before harvest.
Starting off the month we will be groovin’ with Naughty Pine on the 5th. Naughty Pine is one of my personal favorite local bands hailing from Tri-Cities. They will be bringing the good vibes in the form of Reggae. “Where There’s Food, Eat It” food truck will be on hand so come hungry. Doors open at 7:30pm, music starts at 8pm.
After that we will be hard rocking with the Splitting Atoms. This Walla Walla based band is a little bit of grunge, little alternative rock and a lot to handle. This show is on the 12th and paired with Mi Pueblito food truck. We will be donating the cover for these 2 shows to the Blue Mountain Humane Society.
On the 19th we welcome back the singer/storyteller Mark Holt. Mark has been recently recognized by Subaru of America for his branding song and lyrics “trusty old Subaru”, referring to his Outback he drives throughout the Western United States performing for various Subaru sponsored events at mountain resorts. Mark’s newest song and music video “Ronnie & Me” was filmed at the confluence of the Clearwater & Snake River in Lewiston, Idaho.
The grand finale of our 17-week Thursday Night Lights concert and food truck series culminates with Diego Romero & friends on the 26th. They will be joined by our friends at the “Where There’s Food, Eat It” food truck. Table reservations still available for all Aug shows.
Our Pre-harvest, Pre-funk will take place August 28th with doors opening at 8pm. This is going to be a high energy night!
We are honored to have the talented Courtney Noe get the party started. Then we will rock into the late night/early morning with sounds from the funky fresh DJ Lotek!

Courtney’s Debut single, “Invisible Crown,” has been played during multiple Trail Blazers games including Round 1 of the Western Conference Finals: Trail Blazers vs. LA Clippers, 2016.
She also performed live on “Live with Cassidy” on KGW (NBC).
Let’s add “Performed at Eternal” to the list! There will be a modest $5 cover for this event.
We are honored to be mentioned in a new article, ’17 wonderful things to do in Walla Walla’. Our Thursday Night Lights concert & food truck series has really lived up to what I had in my head when I was thinking about doing this series. Upcoming artist Mark Holt was featured in the local paper link here (although times are wrong). The turnout has been wonderful, and it’s really nice to see the different audience groups each week depending on the band. We will certainly do it again in 2022.
Our Inclusivo Dance party with DJ Bruja Mami was amazing! Such great vibes, and souls at this event. The dance floor was bouncing in unison and loving DJ Bruja Mami. She would stop and egg them on before laying down another punishing beat. There definitely was a festival vibe to this event.
Carte Coffee, Smoking Bandits and Fiasco Pizza provided substance so the party could keep going into the early morning.
Thanks to everyone who came out for our Incubator industry party. The turn-out was great for all of the wineries, and El Taco Loco kept everyone’s bellies full.
Our wines shined in Bellingham again! We received 11 medals in total with 2 double gold. The first double gold was for our 2017 Drink Washington State Carmenere. This wine always wins big and at $29 a bottle this wine is “stock your cellar” worthy! Our second double gold was for our 2018 Eternal Syrah. This wine is yet to be released but will be available in our Fall wine club shipment, which you still have time to get! Join today!
Our 2017 Eternal Zen, that will also be released in the fall shipment for our wine club, was just scored 91+ by “Wine Advocate”. “With a long-lingering finish, the Syrah ends with energetic acidity and ripe, dark red fruit tones that trail with a tannic edge. Bravo, it’s delicious. Only 600 bottles were produced.”
Interested in joining our wine club? Free Shipping! We have 3 different tiers. The Sir McCartney is just Eternal Wine selections, the Hexum is a mixture of both labels, and the Petty is just our Drink Washington State label. You can join for free, and it’s just 2 shipments a year: your choice of 6 or 12 bottles. For more information check us out here. https://eternalwine.com/wine-tasting/
We are now SOLD OUT of our Drink Washington State White Blend and Sparkling GSM Rosé. We are also down to only a few bottles of our Sparkling Pinot Noir, stainless Chardonnay, and Eternal Discovery Cabernet Sauvignon.
