Isenhower Cellars
- www.isenhowercellars.com

Denise and Brett Isenhower produce unique wines that reflect the essence of the vineyards of Eastern Washington. The individual wines are based on Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Roussanne, and Syrah respectively.

Seeking a life that harnessed their combined backgrounds in chemistry and business, Denise and Brett Isenhower spent two years researching where to make wine in the Western United States. Washington was selected because it is the most entrepreneurial region to craft world-class wine. In 1999 the Isenhower’s founded Isenhower Cellars in Walla Walla because it is the most attractive town in Eastern Washington.

Denise and Brett built their winery in 2002 on six acres of farmland south of Walla Walla. The initial planting of the Isenhower Estate Vineyard was two acres of Malbec (2008) with more acreage to follow. The Isenhower‘s long-term goal is to grow half of their own grapes and purchase the remainder from their outstanding vineyard partners.

Isenhower Cellars’ tasting room is open Monday through Friday 10 am to 4 pm and Saturday 10:30 am to 5 pm. Visitors enjoy tasting the wines, purusing our unique clothing, and artisan chocolate from local chocolatier, Petits Noir.

Zerba Cellars is a family-owned, estate winery located in the heart of the Walla Walla Valley. We own three estate vineyards in three of the appellation’s most exciting viticultural zones.

We are fortunate to work with a wide range of grape varieties and vineyard sources. Each vineyard and grape variety has a unique character that contributes to the quality, complexity and balance of our individual wines. Each vineyard and grape variety is hand-crafted separately. We conduct rigorous blending trials that combine discipline and creativity to produce wines that are greater than the sum of their parts.

We are a member of VINEA - The Walla Walla Valley Winegrower’s Sustainable Trust. Our estate vineyards are certified by L.I.V.E (Low Input Viticulture and Enology) and IOBC (International Organization for Biological Control).
