Dunham Cellars is a family-owned winery based in Walla Walla, Washington, with a history spanning over 30 years. The winery makes its home in a remodeled World War II era airplane hangar and sources fruit from several renowned estate vineyards in the prime locations of the Walla Walla and Columbia Valley appellations. Dunham Cellars is known for producing premium wines through gentle treatment in all phases of the winemaking process, with a focus on varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Trutina (Bordeaux-style blend), Three Legged Red (red table wine), Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. The family's commitment to excellence is evident in their winemaking philosophy, which emphasizes bringing something special to the bottle that they can be proud to label with the name Dunham. The winery's story begins with Eric Dunham, who discovered his passion for wine at a young age and went on to pursue an internship at Hogue Cellars before becoming Assistant Winemaker at L'Ecole No. 41. With the support of his parents, Mike and Joanne, and later joined by Managing Partners David and Cheryll Blair, Eric launched Dunham Cellars in the early 1990s. Today, the winery offers a tasting experience for walk-ins daily from 11am-4pm, with wine club membership available through their website or by contacting them directly.
