Since 1942 the Ingram family has farmed this same piece of land. Nestled between the Cascade Foothills and the Willamette Valley lies the Mt. Hood Territory. Marvin Ingram moved his family to this slice of heaven to reconnect with the land and secure a view from his beginnings in Butteville, Oregon.
Oregon grape growing in this part of the North Willamette Valley finds its roots as far back as the 1850s. Today the 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations of Marvin's family focus on Hand Crafting Vintage, Natural, Estate Grown Wines on the Estate Vineyard, Winery and Amphitheater located just south of Oregon City.
Since 1999 they've grown wine grapes here. Deep, self-rooted Pinot Noir, Maréchal Foch, Leon Millot, Chelois, Phoenix, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Gewürztraminer all express amazing wines unique to the soil, micro-climate and dry land farming techniques integral to the family's stewardship of the land. Natural, native yeast fermentations, old world grape stomping techniques, bottling and corking by hand are all at the forefront of making the best wines.
