Vineyards & Winemaking
Techniques, Soils and Stories from Northwest Wineries and Vineyards
There are countless vineyards in Oregon and Washington, each one producing grapes for use in unique varietals and blends. Each vineyard has distinct characteristics that set it apart from other vineyards - age and type of vines, microclimates, soil compositions, elevation... even the hands that work the land can make a dramatic difference in the end product. We've put together a collection of vineyard profiles and interviews with winemakers in order to share some of the behind-the-scenes activities tht go into making Oregon and Washington wines.
