The WWC is celebrating Women’s History Month by featuring a dynamic female winemaker for the March 13th tasting.

Kate Derby of Spring Valley Vineyard is the great-granddaughter of Spring Valley founder, Uriah Corkrum. Named after Corkrum’s wife, Katherine, Kate continues to build the legacy of the highly acclaimed winery as their leader of winemaker operations.

Kate took the helm as winemaker in 2023, and she continues to make beautiful estate wines that are unique to Spring Valley.

We’ll taste through five of Spring Valley’s estate varietals and talk to Kate about her journey from Minnesota to Walla Walla, her winemaking philosophy and what she thinks makes a perfect trip to Walla Walla.
