DOBBES FAMILY WINERY
Dobbes Family Winery is today, much of what it was at our beginning, a small, family-run winery in the heart of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. We just define family a little differently these days. At Dobbes, our family extends to those who we welcome into our lives and share a part of ourselves with. From those who visit our tasting room in Dundee, to our team, to our longstanding growing partners, to those who share a bottle of Dobbes wine from afar, we welcome you into our extended family with open arms (and an open bottle of wine). While most of our wines are made from two French grape varieties, Pinot Noir and Syrah, our unique terroir and thoughtful winemaking produce wines that are distinctively Oregon. These are wines that welcome you in and invite you to make yourself at home.
ERATH winery
Founded by Dick Erath in 1968, Erath Winery has grown to be a pioneer in the Oregon wine community. Erath was among the first to see the potential of Oregon’s Willamette Valley for growing world-class Pinot Noir. What began as an experiment in a California garage led to a bold move north, where Dick planted vines on a rugged 49-acre plot in the Chehalem Mountains.
At the time, the region was largely unknown in the wine world. But Dick’s determination and experimentation helped lay the foundation for what would become Oregon’s most respected winegrowing region. His early efforts—from planting non-California clones to producing the first commercial wine in the Dundee Hills—set a standard for quality and stewardship that continues today.
