As I wrote earlier this year, Hospice du Rhône, a Rhône variety organization based in San Luis Obispo, California, will be holding its 2024 flagship event in Walla Walla Valley. The event will take place April 25-27. Details have just been released and are below. Tickets are also on sale as of this morning.

Hospice du Rhône is one of the world’s premier wine events. It will draw Rhône wine producers and lovers from across the country and around the world. Approximately 100 wineries will be participating.

Tickets are all individually sold except seminars, which are sold as a package. The 2024 venue is smaller than the one that has traditionally been used in Paso Robles and can accommodate approximately 800 people.

All of the events listed below will surely sell out. If you are interested in one or all, I recommend purchasing tickets early.

Tickets for Burgers and Bottle Share at AK’s Mercado are on sale now. Tickets for the remaining Rhône-Around Dinners will go on sale shortly.

The full event schedule for Hospice du Rhône Walla Walla is below and can also be found here. Ticketing information can be found here.
