Walla Walla - Airport District/Eastside

Walla Walla, Washington, has quietly become a top pick for those craving a blend of outdoor adventure and boutique wine culture. With Kickstand Tours’ 6-hour bike tour through the Airport District and Eastside, adventurers get a dynamic look at varied landscapes—from sprawling vineyards to historic WWII-era industrial buildings. Covering roughly 10–12 miles, this route offers an enriching ride that’s part history lesson, part vineyard crawl.

The Airport District is a fascinating stop on this journey. Owned by the Port of Walla Walla, it includes relics of wartime America such as mess halls, hangars, and firehouses. You'll also see a line of wine incubators—modest tasting rooms where emerging wineries craft their craft before moving on after five years.

These smaller, less polished spaces produce some outstanding wines, giving cyclists a chance to sample the future flavor of the region alongside established favorites. The Eastside portion features a mix of neighborhoods, parks, industrial zones, wheat fields, and spectacular ridgeline views that feel expansive and surprisingly untouched. The ride moves at a relaxed pace, making it ideal for riders with moderate fitness who want to savor both scenery and sips.

This tour captures the emerging spirit of Walla Walla’s wine scene while showcasing the area's unique blend of rural charm and local history. Kickstand Tours stands out as an essential part of Walla Walla’s outdoor recreation scene because it merges active travel with cultural immersion. The guides are knowledgeable, ensuring your ride comes with rich context and attentive care.

For anyone looking to experience wine tasting beyond the tasting room floor—pedaling through the back roads with a glass in hand—this trip is an unmatched gateway into the less-trodden paths of southeastern Washington’s wine country.
