Join us Friday, June 19 for a Tranche ATV Vineyard Excursion, an off-road adventure through our estate Blue Mountain Vineyard.

Along the way, you’ll taste estate wines right where they’re grown and hear the stories behind the vineyard, the land, and the people who farm it. It’s a unique opportunity to experience a side of Walla Walla that most visitors never see.
Come ready to take photos. From panoramic valley vistas to dramatic Blue Mountain backdrops, these are views you’ll want to remember long after the weekend ends.

BLOOD OF GODS
2026-07-18
It’s back! It’s thirsty! The Blood Of Gods Annual Merrymaking returns on Saturday, July 18 in the heart of Walla Walla, WA!

THIS ISN’T A WINE FESTIVAL.
IT’S A SUMMONING.
Blood of Gods returns for its fifth year with the gates thrown open and the volume turned up. Heavy metal. Wild, feral wines. Art that doesn’t behave. For one day in Walla Walla, all of it collides into something louder, stranger, and more alive than anything you’ll find on a tasting-room calendar.
You don’t show up to watch – you step inside. You taste with the winemakers. You talk with the artists. Conversations bleed into pours. Music bleeds into the pulse. Strangers become familiar somewhere between the first sip and the last song.
If you think wine should thrill, music should shake the walls, and culture should be made by the people in the room – not sold back to them later – then you already belong here.
…Welcome to Blood of Gods. 🍷⚔️

🩸🤘BLOOD OF GODS MERRYMAKING 🍷⚔️
Tickets: $40.00 🎟️ (Your event ticket includes full access to the speaking panel, the Merrymaking main event, and the afterparty concert, all listed in detail below—plus a take-home BoG logo’d GoVino tumbler.)
