Winery Location: United States: Oregon: Walla Walla Valley
Winery Founded: 1/1/2004
Winery Founded by: Stephen Otis Kenyon
Winery Current Owner: Stephen Otis Kenyon
Winery Description: Otis Kenyon Winery was founded in 2004 by Stephen Otis Kenyon, who continues to own and manage the winery alongside his daughter, Muriel Kenyon. The winery's name pays homage to Stephen's grandfather, James Otis Kenyon, a dentist in the early 1900s in Milton-Freewater, Oregon, whose life story is marked by a notorious incident where he burned down a competitor's office. Today, the winery is dedicated to crafting limited quantities of elegantly structured and affordable Bordeaux and Rhone varietal wines. They source grapes from their estate Stellar Vineyard, located in The Rocks District of the Walla Walla Valley AVA, as well as other esteemed vineyards in the region.
