ELKHORN RIDGE VINEYARDS & WINERY is located in the heart of Oregon’s prime wine grape growing region, the Willamette Valley. We are dedicated to growing the finest Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc grapes, and to producing the very best Pinot’s, which our vineyards allow us to do. This website will be in constant evolution, so please follow our progress. Keep enjoying Oregon wonderful wines!

In 2000 we planted our first 10 acres of Pinot Noir, utilizing several different rootstocks and various Pommard and Dijon clones. We have planted the vineyard using very tight spacing (6′ x 3.5′) giving us a vine count of 2,074 plants per acre. In 2001, we planted an additional 11 acres using the same techniques, rootstocks and clonal mix. This gives us a total of 21 acres, out of the 57 acres that we have plantable, and will enable us to eventually produce approximately 2,300 cases of estate bottled Pinot Noir. Then, in 2005 we planted some additional acreage to Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. In addition, we sell our grapes to five quality Oregon wineries, which they use in the production of their own Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris blends. We are confident that our philosophy of producing only the finest Pinot grapes and wine, together with our many years of research and planning, have resulted in fine, elegant Pinots! We look forward to hearing from you soon and thanks for visiting our site!

In November 2004, we released our first Estate Bottled Pinot Noir, the 2003 which sold out in 2 months.
