The Drayman House Venue and Event Spaces for Members
You may not think to combine the concepts of wine storage and community, but at The Drayman House, we’ve done just that. When we set out to create a unique space in Walla Walla for wine enthusiasts, we were thinking outside the box and looking for ways to become a part of the vibrant local community in a tangible way. From a vision of a bustling hub for wine collectors and their friends, families, and colleagues, came the structure of our members-only venue in our thoughtfully restored historic building.
This vision has come to life today: The Drayman House is not just a space to store and protect your wine; it is also a place to gather, share, taste and learn with friends, guests, and a community who appreciates wine like you do. This overview gives more detail about our venue, the unique rooms and spaces in our historic building, and how members can access and reserve spaces for events, parties, and meetings.
