Nestled into a volcanic hillside in the Eola-Amity Hills, the Cristom Estate is an ideal place to explore distinguished Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that express the character of our five surrounding estate vineyards, planted between 200 and 750 feet in elevation on a patchwork of volcanic soils. Whether you choose a seated seasonal tasting with scenic valley views or an immersive vineyard tour and tasting, you'll gain a deeper understanding of Cristom’s 100-year vision for the land and our commitment to stewardship and craftsmanship. Our approach—rooted in biodynamic and organic farming practices, whole cluster fermentations, native yeasts, and no filtration—preserves the individual expressions of each vineyard, resulting in honest, elegant wines with structure, intensity, and length.

“Beautiful varieties of Pinot Noir and one of the best Chardonnay I’ve ever tasted. But, the best of the best was Brian! He took us up to the vineyards to meet the sheep and the pigs that do so much wonderful work to keep this place in tip top shape. Thank you Brian, your kindness was just what we needed.”

“Loved this little winery. We sat outside on the patio and did a tasting. The service was informative and friendly. The wines were all fantastic. We tried a rose, a few different Pinot Noirs and a chardonnay. We even stayed to each enjoy a full glass after the tasting. They do have a small snack menu so we ordered some olives. Delicious. They have sheep or goats on the property somewhere and I guess we were visiting during their feeding time as they provided a cute little soundtrack of sounds. This was a lovely way to spend an afternoon.”
