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

USA, Washington, Walla Walla. Dusted Valley tasting room.

Dusted Valley was founded on the notion that when family works together the American Dream can turn into a living reality. In 2003, these Wisconsin natives took a leap of faith and started a new adventure in the Walla Walla Valley. With strong roots in agriculture, brothers-in-law Chad Johnson and Corey Braunel focus their wine growing philosophies in the vineyard with sustainable practices, low (or modest) yields and minimalistic winemaking. The resulting wines offer a sense of place and showcase their three estate vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley and other premier vineyards throughout the state. Dusted Valley hosts a tasting room with a beautiful patio space and expansive views of the Blue Mountains on the southside of Walla Walla. Private tastings with the winemaker are available by appointment. Please check the website for details.
