The Wahle Family began planting Pommard, Wadenswil, and assorted Coury clones on a 100 acre hilltop site outside of Yamhill, Oregon, in 1974. An original 'experimental' block still grows adjacent to this vineyard site today.
Mark Wahle completed his Viticulture & Enology studies at UCDavis in 1988. Practical experience was then gained at vineyard and/or winery sites in Germany, California, and Oregon.

Mark and his wife, Shaghayegh, discovered a 2nd prime vineyard site in 1999. This 310 acre site in the Eola Hills similarly enjoys a breathtaking hilltop view of the surrounding wine country. This is the 'Holmes Hill' vineyard site, recognizing the original homesteader of this unique property.
