The Inn at Abeja

Why Walla Walla, Washington Should be Your Next Wine Region Vacation | Vogue

"If one could magically conjure a real-life version of a storybook wine country hideaway, it would probably look a lot like Abeja. Of course, the setting doesn’t hurt: 35 acres of golden wheat fields, meandering vineyards, flowering gardens, and wooded creeks all nestled against a ridiculously picturesque backdrop of undulating foothills and distant Blue Mountain peaks. But beyond the mesmerizing natural beauty, it’s the innkeepers’ thoughtful attention to detail that really sets this place apart. It’s apparent at every turn—from the moment you make your way down the treelined driveway through the wooden entrance gate, and long after you’ve been handed your first glass of Chardonnay at check-in. Each of the eight guest suites occupies its own secluded spot of the property—either nestled in the corner of a gabled carriage house, the tower of a refurnished barn, or its own small cottage—and has been lovingly decorated with a mix of elegant antique finds and rustic country furnishings. (Don’t miss the handmade lavender-flecked bath salts that sit alongside the dreamy clawfoot bathtubs in some of the rooms.) Breakfast at the Inn is an event unto itself, with a menu of dishes like local Walla Walla onion quiche or Northwest smoked salmon hash served in the tasting room alongside a grand fireplace." - Christina Pérez
