Waitsburg, Washington

Much like Calistoga was once the under-the-radar yet up-and-coming neighbor to the north of Napa and Sonoma, the same can be said for the charming and historic town of Waitsburg which lies just 25 minutes north of wine-centric town of Walla Walla, Washington. Quickly but quietly coming onto the scene, Waitsburg is a historic farm town of just over 1,200 residents that consistently punches above its weight.

With an increasingly vibrant community of artists and musicians setting up in the well-preserved historic buildings that line Main Street, Waitsburg is situated amidst expansive rolling hills adorned with wheat, barley, and peas. Established in the early 19th century, Waitsburg is situated near the Blue Mountains and Snake River, and offers abundant outdoor recreation opportunities including exceptional cycling, hiking, fishing, water, and winter sports.
