Freedom Hill Vineyard was established in 1981 and the first vines were planted in the spring of 1982. Today the vineyard is a 140 acre property with 92 acres currently developed with room for another handful that will be planted at a future date. In addition we recently acquired an adjoining 80 acres. We were the first vineyard in the neighborhood that now has nine vineyards and two wineries. Freedom Hill has the privilege of working with some of the state’s most notable and respected winemakers. We value long term relationships and delivering high quality fruit consistently to the crush pad.

We view our relationship with the land as enduring and reciprocal. We strive to be good stewards, believing that with thoughtful farming practices, the land will return its bounty for generations to come. We are a family farm with grandchildren now to be found sampling the grapes at harvest.

At Illahe, our goal is to grow and produce quality pinot noir and white wines that express the sense of place, vintage, and true varietal characteristics with minimal intervention. We work by hand on small lots with age-old techniques and materials. Some of our wines are made entirely by hand, with no electricity or modern mechanization. We utilize draft horses in the vineyard as well as a bicycle pump and destemmer to craft our 1899 Pinot Noir. Illahe is a sustainable, LIVE-certified, Salmon Safe, dry farmed vineyard, and a member of the Deep Roots Coalition.

Illahe’s main vineyard is on an 80-acre, south-facing slope that we first planted in 2000 with 22 acres of Pinot Noir. The vineyard now has 60 acres planted with seven varieties. Pinot noir accounts for 52 acres.

We also use estate fruit from Woodworth Vineyard on Mt. Pisgah a mile from the winery. It lies on Nekia soil, a deep volcanic soil from Siletz rock, and has pinot noir and chardonnay. In this prime grape-growing region, the majority of our vineyard lies on marine sediments atop ancient Siletz rock. A new 80-acre site next to Illahe is in development.

Nestled just outside of Dallas, Oregon, in the picturesque foothills of the Western Willamette Valley, our vineyard has been a labor of love since 1999.

After carefully preserving the most fertile plots for vineyard production, we planted the lower thirteen acres with the finest Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris varietals. In 2007, we expanded our production by adding another seven acres at a higher elevation, which features another premium soil type native to other renowned vineyards in the region, along with ideal Southwest-facing slopes of Mount Pisgah

As a family-owned vineyard located in Oregon's premier Willamette Valley, we are dedicated to growing the highest quality fruit.

In ways both observable and mysterious, soil, slope and surroundings write stories in our vineyard grapes and the wines they become.

Located just southeast of Dallas, Oregon, Open Claim’s 55-acre property nestles against the base of Mt. Pisgah, formed from submarine volcanoes that existed 50 million years ago. Here, marine sedimentary soils sit atop some of the oldest geological formations in the Willamette Valley, providing our vines access to a unique complex of minerals.

Mt. Pisgah buffers our Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from the winds that funnel through the Van Duzer Corridor into the valley. At our elevation, we hover above the frost danger that can occur as the colder, damp air drains down. The land tilts at a perfect 4-degree, south-facing slope to the sun, and morning fog provides whatever moisture winter rains forget.
