A Premier Producer in the heart of Willamette Valley
Sustainable Vines
Nestled in Oregon’s Van Duzer Corridor, Cynthian Vineyards is shaped by coastal winds, Bellpine soils, and a deep respect for the land. We farm thoughtfully and make small-lot wines that reflect the character and spirit of this remarkable place.
Where Great Wine Begins
Our vineyard sits at roughly 450 feet, where the winds of the Van Duzer Corridor cool the vines and extend the growing season. Sloping Bellpine soils provide natural drainage, while Oregon’s winter rainfall sustains the vineyard through the year. Together, these conditions produce fruit with freshness, structure, and a distinct sense of place.
Pure Water
We receive 49.57" average rainfall annually over well drained soil. We use drip lines and store 100% captured rain water.
Sustainable Soil
Our soil type is 8D Bellpine Silty Clay loam. Our elevation is around 450ft with 12-20% slopes.
Generous Sun
On the crest of the hill we are gifted with an average of 14+ hours of sunlight daily. We have a Hugin heat sum index of 1815.31.
Exceptional Grapes
Guided by Burgundian and Loire Valley tradition, our vineyard grows French varietals including Pommard and 777 Pinot Noir, Gamay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc, and Chardonnay across 10,669 grafted, disease resistant French vines.

This is a labor of love, not a get-rich-quick scheme. It brings together farming, winemaking, design, hospitality, and a belief that wine should feel welcoming rather than exclusive. We are building something slowly, thoughtfully, and for the long haul.
The Wines We Make.
We make our wines entirely from fruit grown here at the vineyard, with a focus on letting each variety speak for itself. Our plantings include Pinot Noir, Gamay Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc, with Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc recently added through top-grafting. We also have a traditional-method Blanc de Noirs currently resting in tirage.
