POSITION SUMMARY
The WWVWA utilizes nearly all facets of marketing to promote the Walla Walla Valley wine region, including research, public relations, advertising, strategic planning and sales distribution. The primary tools for reaching the Walla Walla Valley Wine Region’s target market segments are wine events, media relations, advertising and Valley-wide product and distribution development.

2.      Wine wholesale and retail trade.
3.      Wine, travel, and lifestyle media.
4.      Walla Walla Valley residents who purchase wine and/or assist in promoting the Valley’s wine industry through word-of-mouth.

5.      Barrel Full of Money charitable fundraiser wine reception and auction (150 attendees)
