Dusted Valley Vintners

Specialties

We make wines we like to drink

That’s why we are growing grapes and making wine in Washington State. Old world structure, funk and earthiness meet the always bright new world fruit. Our wines are a true expression of Washington State terroir and a celebration of the people that help us grow and craft this art. Similar to our philosophies and sustainable practices in the vineyards, we apply the lessons of good science, a fair bit of experimentation and a blend of old world techniques to get the extreme quality and concentration of flavors we seek in our finished wines. We are passionately dedicated to quality. This starts in the vineyard and ends with the finished product in the bottle. As part of our commitment to delivering quality vino to our fans, we became the first Washington winery to use screw cap closures on all of our wines, thus ensuring every time you «crack that cap» it’s sure to be a good experience.

History

Established in 2003.

Dusted Valley was founded on the notion that when family pulls together the American Dream can turn into a living reality. Hey, we’re just a proud bunch of farm-​raised Wisconsin Cheese-​heads, and what goes well with cheese? You guessed it — wine. It’s all about the wine…

So, in 2003 the Braunel and Johnson families moved to Walla Walla and became the 52^nd winery to «hang the shingle» and call Walla Walla Valley home. Today, our family is producing spectacular wines from its 4,000 case operation. We are vineyard focused and farm four diverse vineyards totaling nearly 100 acres in the Walla Walla Valley. In addition, Dusted Valley has begun a unique barrel project using extra-​tight-​grained Wisconsin Oak harvested from the very land we grew up around.

As we say in the Dusted Valley, «Experience the click of quality and crack that cap! The first two glasses are for your health, the second two for ours.»
