Lady Hill began with a family and a dedication to the land. For over 150 years, our family have been working this land, growing food and building a connection with the land. Located next to the Champoeg State Heritage Area, this place has been a center of Oregon’s agricultural soul. As fifth-generation custodians of this land, we are dedicated to honoring our family’s legacy. Lady Hill Winery was founded in 2012 as a gathering place and working farm that would honor the past and contribute to the rich history of the land. Lady Hill is named as tribute to the lineage of powerful women who have always been the heart of our family. With every bottle, we invite you to our table to share in this story and taste our heritage in every sip. The sheepdog trial is held on a hillside directly behind our tasting room providing an exceptional viewing experience. Come for the sheepdogs, stay for the wine.
