Before Walla Walla earned its reputation as one of America's premier wine regions, families like the Dunhams were helping prove what Washington wine could become. Dunham Cellars began with Eric Dunham's belief that Cabernet Sauvignon could rival the world's best, beginning with the inaugural 1995 Dunham Cabernet Sauvignon "I." Those early vintages helped establish both the winery and the growing reputation of Washington Cabernet. The winery makes its home in a remodeled World War II-era airplane hangar at the Walla Walla airport, a place where history, hospitality, art, and wine have created a legacy of their own. The winery celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2025 and continues to produce wines known for balance, structure, and a gentle, thoughtful approach from vineyard to bottle.

FIGGINS Estate represents the personal vision of Founder and Winemaker Chris Figgins. Inspired by the great estate wineries of Bordeaux and Piedmont, Chris set out to create something rare in Washington wine: a place where vineyard, winery, and wine would become one continuous expression of a single site. He believed great wine begins with understanding a place and allowing that place to speak through the glass. That vision led him to a remarkable hillside high above Washington's Walla Walla Valley, where cool air descends nightly from the Blue Mountains. Over the next two decades, he transformed the property into one of the state's most distinctive wine estates. A high-elevation vineyard was planted. Underground caves were carved into ancient basalt. A winery was built into the hillside rather than on top of it. Today, FIGGINS Estate stands as Chris's most personal expression of what wine can be when people, place, and purpose come together. It is a story of vision, stewardship, and legacy—built with future generations in mind.
