Hours: Year Round
Fox Farm Vineyards started in 2005 when David Fish, Desiree Neel and Thomas Ratcliff all attended a Wine Symposium (OPC) in Willamette Valley, Oregon. Thomas and David were casual industry acquaintances attending the same event, but each had many years' experience in the world of wine employed as Sommeliers. While touring and tasting their ways through Willamette Valley, they had a conversation similar to those spoken by many other wine lovers: "Hey, wouldn't it be great if we could make wines like this, too?"... (fast forward)
David & Desiree get married, then buy a home in the Dundee Hills which just happens to have 5 acres of land, in a primeÂ
location, with Jory soil, and a southeast slope perfect for a vineyard.
David & Thomas seek (and secure) the services of Joe Dobbes as Winemaker and Voice of Reason.
