Norm's 90th Birthday!

September 11 - 13, 2026 | Walla Walla

All Day

Our Founder Stormin' Norman's birthday is on September 12, and we want to celebrate with you all weekend! Every tasting reservation at the winery from the 11th to the 13th will receive a special tasting in Norm's honor.

We're not stopping there. He's turning 90 this year, so in addition, we'll have complimentary paired bites with your visit.

The line-up will include a previously sold-out wine, re-released from the wine library—you won't want to miss it.

Reservations recommended to ensure we have the pairing for you
