On December 15, 2001,
Jack Dunker opened the doors of Cache River Basin Vineyard & Winery.
At that time, he had a vision of what this beautiful countryside in
Johnson County could be. Along with the winery, that vision
included a restaurant where his customers could sit and enjoy great
food, great service, and a great view of the amazing countryside.
With the opening of Wineaux's Restaurant, part two of the vision is
coming to life. Part three, two units of Bed and Breakfast, is
now underway. Hopefully they will be complete by the fall of
2009. Stay tuned on this one.
Jack, along with the entire staff of Wineaux's Restaurant,
would like to thank you for your patronage and wish for you the very
best dining experience. Enjoy! |
