Dear Friends,

The recent record breaking heatwave – 10 consecutive days above 90 degrees, including 3 days over 103 – was rather too much of a good thing, but it does remind us that even though Oregon’s Willamette Valley is a “cool climate” region ideal for growing the Pinot varietals, our consistently warm, dry summers are essential for achieving optimum grape ripeness, which produces concentrated flavors and balanced tannins in the finished wines.

Our Tasting Room hours and fees have changed -
We are now open 11 AM and close at 5 PM daily.
Our tasting fee is now $15.00, refundable with a minimum purchase of $25.00.
Tasting will continue to be complimentary for Cellar Club Members and up to 4 guests.

Day in the Vineyard – To date we have received over 550 reservation requests by mail and online. We are currently processing the requests and you should receive written confirmation of your check-in date and time in the next week.
