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!

    MEET OUR TEAM
