Celebrate harvest with an unforgettable evening of wine, food, and live music under the stars as our annual Frenchtown Fête returns to Frenchtown Road at the Long Shadows Winery in Walla Walla.

One of our favorite traditions of the year, this special evening is our opportunity to gather with our wine club community and thank our loyal members for their continued support of Long Shadows. Founding Winemaker Gilles Nicault will be there to welcome guests, share wines, and celebrate another harvest together.

Enjoy a seasonal, multi-course dinner prepared by Hattaway’s on Alder, thoughtfully paired with a selection of Long Shadows wines. As the evening unfolds, enjoy the electrifying sounds of acclaimed rock violinist Aaron Meyer beneath the Walla Walla night sky.

Join us as we raise a glass to the beginning of harvest, and to the members who make what we do possible. We look forward to sharing this memorable evening of exceptional wine, food, music, and friendship with you.

Round-trip shuttle service from the Marcus Whitman Hotel is included with your ticket.
