If it's late fall through early summer, it'll be overcast and rainy. In the summer expect sun. It's the best weather for growing these grapes. In fact, it's the same weather they get in the Burgundy Region of France. And they're not bad at making wines either.
Grapes also love our legendary rich, red soil.
These hills, once covered with plum, peach, cherry and walnut trees, are now the heart of Oregon's wine industry. Wine production at Sokol Blosser relies on traditional and conservative procedures assisted, rather than controlled, by technology. Grapes are hand-harvested, brought in small wooden totes to the winery, and treated as gently as possible to deliver their full flavor potential. Visitors are always welcome. It's a beautiful visit at any time of year.
