Three Rivers WineryThree
Rivers Winery is different from any other winery in the Walla Walla
area, where it is located. It features a very "Napaesque" vaulted
ceiled tasting room with a huge fireplace, snuggly leather sofas, and
large boutique retail shopping area. There's a three hole golf course
outside. While at most Walla Walla wineries, the owner or family members
pause from work to pour you a taste, Three Rivers Winery has a huge
tasting bar with professional servers to pour wine and answer questions.
There's a large deck overlooking the vineyards and countryside for
picnicking and watching the golfers. The winery has become a popular
place for business meetings and weddings.
Three
Rivers Winery is named for the three rivers in the two appellations
where its vineyard sources are located-
the Columbia, Snake, and Walla Walla rivers. ("walla walla" means "many
rivers" in the native Indian tongue.) The winery was founded in
1998 and is located between Walla Walla and Lowden along Hwy 12.

Holly Turner brings nearly a decade of
food and wine experience to her role as Three Rivers' winemaker. Prior
to joining the winery in June 2000, she received an unparalleled education
in the art and science of winemaking through positions at several acclaimed
wineries, including Chateau Ste. Michelle's River Ridge Winery, Columbia

in Mendoza, Argentina.
She holds a bachelor's degree in biology
from Western Oregon State College and has completed extended coursework
at U.C. Davis in winemaking and wine grape production.
Since entering the wine industry, Holly
has focused on making premium wine from grapes grown in the Columbia
Valley. Over time she has forged lasting relationships with growers
throughout the region, enabling her source some of the best grapes
grown in the appellation.
As winemaker, Holly oversees every aspect
of Three Rivers' wine production, from sourcing grapes to bottling.
