Our Story

Established in 2015, Tandem Hills got it’s name from multiple ‘pairings’. * First of all, there is Mary and Curt (that’s one pair). * Second, the vineyard (planted in 2016) is in the Eola-Amity hills (another pair). * Third is we like to ride, and our Tandem bicycle (a Santana) requires a cooperative pair.

So Tandem Hills is our name.

The property was found by Mary on a bike ride up though and over Eola Hills Rd. The next weekend Curt and Mary were at Stoller’s participating in the Vine Ride and decided to drive a few miles south to take a look. As you can see, the property has breath taking vista’s from the north over looking Amity and to the south over looking the fields of Dallas. The west facing slope has a beautiful view of the sunset over the coastal range. With an elevation was ~500’ and constant west wind from the Van Duzer Corridor the site looked prime for growing grapes. The sites cool nights, warm days and constant breeze make a perfect environment for Oregon Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. And if you are a believer that rocky soil make for a great wine terroir you have to come taste the products of the macro climate we have been blessed with.

The vineyard off Eola Hills Rd. is made up of Pinot Noir (114, 667, Wadensville) and Chardonnay (Dijon Clone). The soil profile Jory-Saum-Parrett (Loamy colluvium derived from basalt over clayey residuum weathered from basalt) seemed to be a perfect match if the roots of the vines could get down to the clay base below. If you subscribe to rocky soils make good wine then this is the place for you to come try the results.
