The Eyrie Vineyards, Family winery in McMinnville, Oregon, United States.
The Eyrie Vineyards is a winery in the Dundee Hills region of Willamette Valley that focuses on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay production. The operation manages vineyard land across several locations and produces wines in controlled quantities through careful farming and winemaking practices.
The operation began in 1965 as a pioneering effort to grow Pinot Noir in a region where wine professionals said it could not succeed. This early commitment to the variety helped establish the area as a serious wine-producing region.
The winery follows a hands-off approach to winemaking that lets the grapes express themselves naturally through wild fermentation. Visitors taste this philosophy directly in wines that showcase the fruit and acidity without heavy processing.
The winery offers tastings and tours at its main location in McMinnville where visitors can sample wines and learn about production methods. Plan time to walk the property and appreciate the vineyard landscapes surrounding the facility.
A wine from 1975 earned top recognition at an international competition, competing successfully against long-established European producers of the same variety. This achievement came when few outside the region believed Oregon could make serious wines.
