Description:
Stoller Vineyards, located in the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley in the Dundee Hills AVA, uniquely offers world-class wines and genuine hospitality in a stunning setting. Owners Bill and Cathy Stoller purchased the nearly 400 acre property, which was originally his family's turkey farm, in 1993 and crafted the winery's inaugural Pinot Noir in 2001. Their vision of innovation blending vineyard stewardship with environmental sustainability was recognized in 2006 when Stoller became the first LEED certified winemaking facility in the United States attaining the rare Gold level certification. Today, the winery features panoramic views including Mt. Hood, ample outdoor space for relaxation and guest houses. Stoller is LIVE (Low Input Viticulture and Enology) and Salmon-Safe certified.
Special
Notes:
Bill Stoller was born on the winery property and raised on the family's second turkey farm just two miles away. He founded Express Employment Professionals (EEP), a Tualatin based staffing company, in 1983. Given combined loves of wine and business, the Stollers became co-owners of Chehalem in 1993. Soon after, Bill's family property became available and they decided to purchase the land given its great vineyard potential with rocky, well-drained Jory soils, an elevation band (300 to 650 feet) ideal for grape production, and its southern aspect. Today, the Stollers manage a talented 10-person winery team with the same core values guiding their success at EEP - strong vision and leadership, innovation and dedication to world-class quality.
