Eola Hills Wine Cellars

Eola Hills Wine Cellars, in the heart of the Willamette Valley just 15 minutes west of Salem and 60 minutes southwest of Portland. The winery offers a wide selection of award winning wines. Featuring a weekly Sunday Brunch and many events such as Bike Oregon Wine Country. Tom Huggins, founder and general manager of Eola Hills, had a dream rooted in facts. He knew that great wines could only come from great vineyards, and through his former occupation as a agricultural insurance expert, he knew where that precious vineyard land was located. This knowledge enabled him to purchase some of the prime sites for his own vineyards in the rolling terrain of the Northwest Willamette Valley in Oregon wine country, and to fulfill a dream of creating his own wine. Situated in a natural weather shadow of the Coast Range, which shunts storms from the Pacific Ocean north to Portland and south below Salem, the Eola Hills vineyards are protected from weather extremes. Yet in summer, a gorge carved by ancient glaciers draws in maritime air to provide ideal cooling for sensitive varietals in those warmer months.
