Walla Walla, Washington, home to TV Batman star Adam West and a major U.S. wine destination, is kicking off 2025 with a series of February events. The are Resturant Month (yes, a whole month; most cities just have a restaurant week), a film fest and a beer festival.
“Combined with February Film Feast, Walla Walla Brewfest, and Valentine’s Day all falling within the month, Walla Walla Restaurant Month is the perfect recipe for a winter getaway to Walla Walla,” says Guy Glaeser, executive director of Visit Walla Walla. “It’s an opportunity to visit during a slower and more intimate time of year. Whether for the food, the films, the beer, or all three in addition to wine, February has quickly become a favorite time of year to experience all that Walla Walla has to offer.”
