The Burgundian Drouhin family has extended its holdings in the Willamette Valley with the acquisition of Methven Family Vineyards by its US-based company Domaine Drouhin Oregon.
The property lies in Willamette Valley’s Eola-Amity Hills AVA and includes a winery facility, visitor space, and comprises about 85 acres, 30 of which are designated as LIVE-certified sustainable vineyards planted with Chardonnay, Gamay Noir, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and Riesling.
The Beaune-based Drouhin family acquired their first vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA back in 2013, with the acquisition of Roserock Oregon, but has been farming in the Willamette Valley since 1987, when they established Domaine Drouhin Oregon in Dundee Hills.
