Description: The Eyrie Vineyards, founded by David and Diana Lett in 1965, pioneered the first Pinot noir, Chardonnay and Pinot gris in the Willamette Valley. The vineyards are located in the Dundee Hills of Oregon and the winery is in nearby McMinnville. Eyrie (EYE-ree), the Gaelic spelling of the word aerie, is named for the red-tailed hawks who make their home in the fir trees at the top of the original plantings. The philosophy of The Eyrie Vineyards, in the vineyard and in the winery, is to interfere as little as possible with the processes of Nature.

Special Notes: In 1970, The Eyrie Vineyards produced the first Pinot noir and Chardonnay in the Willamette Valley, and the New World's first Pinot gris. In 1975, The Eyrie Vineyards produced the first American Pinot noir to compete successfully with Burgundy. (Paris, 1979; Beaune, 1980). Join us at Yamhill County's original winery, to enjoy Eyrie's famously elegant, classic wines, and a taste of Oregon wine history.
