Open: April - November
Hanson Vineyards is a small boutique winery in the northern Willamette Valley. Â With our "hands-on" style, we like to think that our role as grape grower plays as important a role as that of winemaker. Â Farming has been a part of our family's legacy for many generations.
The farm in Monitor, Oregon came into our family in the late 1920s - that is where our long history of growing grapes begins! During prohibition, our great-grandfather had a substantial planting of concord and Niagara grapes which he sold to people throughout the north Willamette Valley for less than legal purposes. Â As time and generations have passed, we eventually turned to the art of making wine. Â First as a hobby, we made grape and berry wines for our family and friends starting in the early 1970s.
Things took a serious turn in 2000, when Clark planted his first round of carefully selected vinifera to improve the quality of our wines. Â From this French varietal stock, we now make a solid selection of wines conducive to Oregon's unique wine-making weather and climate.
