Located in the Walla Walla Valley in Washington, Dusted Valley Vintners, a family-operated winery, was founded by brother-in-laws Corey Braunel and Chad Johnson in 2003. Wisconsinites and true cheese-heads, Braunel and Johnson have recently sourced white oak from back home (Northern Wisconsin) to be used in the coopering of wine barrels. With over 90 acres of grapes in the Walla Walla Valley, Dusted Valley Vintners continues to be recognized for its “Boomtown,” “Stained Tooth” and “Walla Walla” labels. Voted “Critics Choice Winery” at the Washington Arriving Vintners Event sponsored by Washington Wine Country, Dusted Valley Vintners utilizes the heritage of the Walla Walla Valley where agriculture and unique landscape turn out a great product.

ENO is an upscale, approachable and lively lounge that offers an easily paired selection of wine, cheese and chocolate. A knowledgeable staff of wine directors specializes in no-pressure education and friendly interaction with guests – from the novice wine sipper to the oENOphile.
