Hanson Vineyards

Open: April - November

Hanson Vineyards is a small boutique winery in the northern Willamette Valley.  With our "hands-on" style, we like to think that our role as grape grower plays as important a role as that of winemaker.  Farming has been a part of our family's legacy for many generations.

The farm in Monitor, Oregon came into our family in the late 1920s - that is where our long history of growing grapes begins! During prohibition, our great-grandfather had a substantial planting of concord and Niagara grapes which he sold to people throughout the north Willamette Valley for less than legal purposes.  As time and generations have passed, we eventually turned to the art of making wine.  First as a hobby, we made grape and berry wines for our family and friends starting in the early 1970s.

Things took a serious turn in 2000, when Clark planted his first round of carefully selected vinifera to improve the quality of our wines.  From this French varietal stock, we now make a solid selection of wines conducive to Oregon's unique wine-making weather and climate.
