After a cold glass of pink glass on the patio in Deux Soldats Estate Vineyard & Winery, I returned to my electronic bike to continue my trip to Tours to the Southern Region in Walla Walla, Washington. When I twisted the pedals through the lush vineyards set against the background of the blue mountains, I was imbued with the scenery and appreciated the unique access I received to it.
But wait a minute. I really Don’t like to ride a bike. Like, generally. I would like to do almost everything else. Was I so fond of Wall Walla that I actually found a bike happiness?
The answer was loud so. Wola Wala Wala was so fascinated by me that I could even carry a bicycle to only get wet. That’s why I fell in love with this place in the south -east corner of Washington, which is perfect for family vacation.

The farm is open to visit, with a well -stocked shop, a children’s gaming zone and animals that visitors like to welcome. And its products are expressed in many men’s restaurant menu.
