In the winery’s own words, via the Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance member profile:

Arenness Cellars is new to the Walla Walla winery community. After making wine in Portland for the last few years, Robert and Su (the team behind Arenness) now proudly occupy 602 Piper Avenue – one of the winery incubator buildings in the Airport District just 10 minutes northeast of downtown. We specialize in small lot production of Cabernet Sauvignon from iconic Washington vineyards. We have delicious Pinot Noir and Viognier too, with Zinfandel in the works. Come visit us at our “micro” winery to experience our brand of hospitality and our commitment to producing exceptional wine.
