The Johnson and Braunel Clan                 

Dusted Valley Vintners was founded on the notion that when family pulls together the American Dream can turn into a living reality.  Hey, we're a proud bunch of farm raised Wisconsin Cheese-Heads.  And what goes well with cheese?  Not milk!!!  Sorry Dad.  It's all about the wine. 

We don't exactly remember when the idea of DVV came about. We all have had many inspiring bottles of wine with wonderful food, and of course incredible friends and family. I'm sure you could think of a few times that this fermented pleasure represented a little taste of heaven?  Maybe it was one too many trips to California, Oregon, and Washington wine country? 

When we decided we were going to honor an ancient Roman god hell bent on a good time, we pledged to do it right.  Thus began the quest for the best fruit and vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley and beyond.  Who could fault a fella for doing the work of Bacchus? We must admit, walking beautiful vineyards and tasting our way through Eastern Washington had its palate pleasing highpoints.
