Map of Echolands Winery detailing vineyards, tasting room, and various grape clones and planting schedules.

Echolands Winery was created in 2018 by two Kansas City residents, Brad Bergman and Doug Frost MS, MW, who believed in the Walla Walla Valley AVA’s ability to offer a distinctive style of wine. Along with winemaker/general manager Brian Rudin, Echolands is focused upon crafting responsibly produced wines that reflect the potential for elegance and balance from this singular place. 

The team is focused upon caring for its vineyards and land through regenerative organic viticulture. We seek to amplify the echo of the land and of the grapevines in every bottle made. Our philosophy is that winemaking can’t be anything more than a subtle shaping of that sound; we cannot create qualities that are not there in the grapes.

  • Two men harvest grapes from a large industrial grape sorting machine inside a winery or vineyard.

    We are among the first in the valley to harvest and our team begins things the right way: by toasting each other with several bottles of Champagne!

  • Clusters of ripe purple grapes hanging from vine in a vineyard with a sunny, sunny backdrop.

    Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Grenache - our grapes make wines that are balanced and textured.

    Echolands Winery includes Taggart Vineyard within the SeVein Vineyard Project located in Oregon, with a new vineyard being planted on the Washington side as well.

    We aim to echo what the land and community generously give to us by giving back and promoting environmental stewardship. Learn more about our causes and sustainability initiatives.
