Foon Estate Vineyard

FOON Rising - We are now able to offer curbside sales and pickup of bottles and cases of FOON wines. Social distancing and transmission mitigation practices make it impossible to open our tasting room for the food and wine experiences we have enjoyed providing pre-COVID-19. Please call FOON at (541) 817-7768 to arrange any purchases.
As a service to our Eugene friends we will provide free delivery in Eugene on one day per week depending on demand and mutual convenience. We miss you.

We are aware that our Foon Friends and loyal Foonistas have been anticipating our planned re-opening of the tasting room and resumption of services in early April. We have decided, out of an abundance of caution and concern for the well being of all, to defer our opening for at least a month, or until local health officials and/or the CDC provide guidance as to when it may be safe to congregate in numbers around a welcoming table with new and old friends. As this describes our service environment this seems to be the most responsible and loving way to proceed. Our approach to social distancing (part of the current recommendations for reducing contact and contagion) will be to greet you as below. This refers to namaste in Hindu and translates roughly to: "The godliness in me recognizes and salutes the godliness in you". In Japan the gesture is called gassho and is a sign of greeting, gratitude, reverence, or apology. All apply here. We are so grateful for your understanding and forbearance. Please call any time for questions, or in the event we may assist you.

Here's a novel idea! The road to happiness . . .

We currently use between 20 and 27 million tons of salt to keep our roads clear every winter—and its not good for the environment or our cars.
