The Indie Bookstore of Wine

We didn't open The Thief to be another tasting room. We opened it to be a place — for the winemaker who's been at it 30 years and the person who just needs marsala for dinner tonight.

Tell us what you liked. We'll find you something that makes you say "what is this and where has it been all my life?"

About The Thief

Thursday Nights

Every Thursday from 5 to 8:30pm, we run a themed wine tasting. The theme changes every week — sometimes a region, sometimes a grape, sometimes a "trust us on this one." About 6 wines, usually around $20.

No reservation needed. Come as you are.

Knowledgeable, Not Pushy

"The employees here are masterclass at communicating with customers — knowledgeable, not pushy."

Google Reviewer

Wine Enthusiast, 2023

"The folks at The Thief Shop are strong reps for the Walla Walla AVA, with the state's choice selections but also curated, global deep cuts. It's like when you go to an indie bookstore or a librarian and they say, 'if you like this, what about this obscure title from this author that will knock your socks off?' Only with wine."

Ships to Seattle

I ordered online from The Thief and the entire experience was amazing. Everyone I talked to was knowledgeable and SO NICE. Arrived on time, securely packaged — all the way to Seattle.

Open 7 Days a Week

One of the only shops in Walla Walla open every day. Mon–Wed until 8, Thu–Sat until 9, Sunday until 7. Come before dinner, after a tasting, or whenever.

The Whole Valley on One Shelf

Can't make it out to every estate? We carry wines from Walla Walla producers across the valley — more local wine in one stop than anywhere else, with hours that actually work.

$12 Bottles to DRC!

Marsala for chicken marsala. A 4-pack of hazy IPA. Something Romanian you read about online. We cover the whole spectrum — and we genuinely mean that.

A Staff That Actually Knows

Tell us what you liked. We'll find you something that makes you say "what is this and where has it been all my life?" That's the whole job.
