Region:


Dundee Hills

The Dundee Hills appellation in Willamette Valley is one of the most idyllic locations for grape growing on the West Coast. It is Dundee Hills that truly put Oregon wines on the map and helped enhance its worldwide reputation. The region is protected from the Pacific Ocean’s influence by the Coast Mountain Range to the west, which causes most of the rainfall to arrive after the growing season. Because of the elevation of the area, vineyards also benefit from warmer nights and less frost and fog than those on adjacent valley floors.
