About Iris Vineyards
The owner’s private estate is home to the 36-acre vineyard, nestled in the Southern Willamette Valley, twenty minutes southwest of Eugene, Oregon. The Iris Vineyards brand produces wine from grapes grown at the estate vineyard and carefully selected vineyards throughout Oregon. The cool climate in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range allows the grapes to mature slowly while maintaining the proper acid balance that is essential for producing the finest wines in the southern Willamette Valley.
