Morrison Lane Vineyard

Located just south of Walla Walla on Cottonwood Creek west of Powerline Road, Morrison Lane Vineyard has supplied fruit to local wineries since 1997.

The Morrison Farm was established in 1918 by Dean's grandparents. Dean and Verdie Morrison planted the first, four-acre block of Syrah in 1994. Since that first planting Dean's quest for unusual varietals new to the Walla Walla valley has grown the vineyard to 23 acres in production with 9 different varietals. Upon his retirement from the railroad, Dean and Verdie opened the Morrison Lane tasting room in September of 2004.
