Welcome to Winter’s Hill Estate

Sitting atop the storied Dundee Hills of Oregon, Winter's Hill is owned and operated by the Gladhart family. Today the third generation is developing the farm established in 1961.

 
Together with our employees, we manage our vineyards, fields, and forests for the long term benefit of our family and our community.

 
We are proud to share our estate Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc (and a few other gems), and our land with our customers and visitors, and we look forward to your next visit.
