Our plans

We expect to plant more vines on the northern side of the property in the next few years.

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.
