Officially recognized in 2019, our AVA spans nearly 36 square miles of one of the coolest and most wind-exposed portions of Willamette Valley. Each afternoon, Pacific breezes sweep through our gap in the Coast Range beginning around 2 pm, followed by evening fog that moderates temperatures for slower, more even ripening making us uniquely situated to weather climate changes. Our close-knit community of eighteen family vineyards and six wineries create wines that reflect this unique terroir.

Drive down our gravel roads and you'll find the Willamette Valley as it was twenty-five years ago — where tractors pause for conversation and farmers share glasses while discussing the season.

The combination of marine sedimentary soils and our unique climate creates world class wines; including our renowned Pinot Noirs that are prized for their vibrant acidity and structured tannins. Here, sustainable practices aren't policies but our way of life—where we don't shy away from agricultural challenges but face them together, letting the raw beauty of our efforts speak through every bottle.

This is honest wine country—where morning fog lifts to reveal stunning hillside views, afternoon breezes remind us why we chose this special place, and visitors discover what locals have long known: the Van Duzer Corridor produces some of Oregon's most distinctive and compelling wines.
