New ‘Flight’ Options At The Airport

Walla Walla, Wash. -- February 26, 2007 -- Looking to take a flight from Walla Walla? Now you can without even getting on a Horizon plane. The lounge at Caravaggio is offering flights of local wines. Guests can choose the destinations of their flights from more than a dozen local wineries.

 “We’ve designed our wine list to feature the extraordinary wines in our region,” said Carissa Meliah, co-owner of Caravaggio and Walla Walla Catering. “We offer at least 26 different varietals by the glass and thought it would be fun for people to sample several different wines at one location.”

The lounge, which is open Monday through Saturday starting at 11:00 am, offers a full food menu in addition to beers and local wines. Guests desiring to take a flight from the Caravaggio lounge can select from itineraries that highlight different regions in the valley, or create their own flight from the expansive glass-pour selections.

“The great thing about our wine list is that we’re constantly looking to partner with local wineries to feature in our lounge,” said Laura Price, Meliah’s partner in Caravaggio and Walla Walla Catering. “We just added Woodward Canyon and Three Rivers to both our glass and bottle wine menus. Within the next couple of weeks we hope to add Seven Hills and Waterbrook. So our guests will always have the chance to set different itineraries for their flights from our lounge.”

Wine flights at Caravaggio’s lounge start at $14 for five two-ounce pours. For an additional eight-dollars, one of Caravaggio’s appetizers can be paired with the guest’s flight itinerary. Reservations for seating in the lounge are not necessary but are a good idea. And just like Horizon Air, all seating in the lounge is first-class.
