He now manages a small Syrah and Merlot vineyard, makes wine under his Feudal Project label.

HOSPITALITY & EVENTS

Originally from Eastern WA, Karin spent more than 20 years in Seattle working for Boeing before returning to Walla Walla in 2020 to pursue her passion for wine and hospitality. Since then, she's immersed herself in the local wine community and is excited to create memorable experiences for our members. When she's not at The Drayman House, you'll likely find her with a good book, traveling, golfing with her partner, or relaxing with her dogs.
