Walnut Ridge Vineyard
Walnut Ridge Vineyard is a family-owned winery located in Oregon's Lower Long Tom AVA, nestled in the foothills of the Coast Range between Corvallis and Eugene. The 30-acre vineyard, established in 2000, is situated on a southwest-facing slope, benefiting from the warm sun that allows each vintage to ripen fully, producing both gorgeous wines and epic sunsets. āThe vineyard is LIVE certified (Low Input Viticulture and Enology), adhering to strict international standards for environmentally and socially responsible winegrowing and winemaking. This certification reflects the vineyard's commitment to sustainability, including practices such as not using insecticides and carefully selecting chemicals to avoid harming beneficial insects, birds, or butterflies. āThe tasting room, designed in the style of Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop in New Orleans, opened in 2015 and offers expansive views of the Coast Range. Visitors can enjoy a variety of estate-grown wines, including Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Gamay Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, and Chardonnay, all crafted with a focus on sustainability and quality. ā
