An Evolving Project

The vineyard started with 2.3 acres planted in early 2000. 2.5 more acres were planted in 2022, and 2.2 more were added in 2023.

Vines and varieties

The grape varieties planted throughout the property include Pommard and 777 – Pinot Noir, and 95 and 76 Dijon – Chardonnay.

The Yamhill-Carlton AVA (American Viticultural Area) is home to Oregon’s wine industry pioneers, seasoned winegrowers, and some of the friendliest locals in the valley. Situated in northern Oregon’s Willamette Valley, the AVA has earned a reputation for producing some of the state’s best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
