The Rex Hill Winery and Vineyards were among the first to be planted in the Willamette Valley back in the early 1980’s. The winery is family owned and run and has been producing excellent Pinot Noirs since its inception.

Today the farm is still planted with mostly Pinot Noir, although a small number of Chardonnay vines, which also thrive in this particular terrior, have been added along with a few rows of Muscat grapes.
