Benton-Lane Winery
23924 Territorial Highway Monroe, 541-847-5792 “Benton-Lane Winery was founded by lifelong winemakers Steve and Carol Girard. It was silky, spicy Oregon Pinot that convinced them to move from Napa Valley to the tenderloin of The Willamette Valley where they planted their sustainably grown vines in a historic sheep ranch. In addition to their sinfully sexy Pinot Noir, they produce a fruity, crisp Pinot Gris, a deep, aromatic Pinot Blanc and rich, velvety Chardonnay.”Brigadoon Wine Company

On one side, with an eastern exposure sits 2 ½ acres of Pinot Noir and ½ acre of Riesling. On the other side of the creek, facing west is, 3 ½ acres of Pinot Noir, 4 acres of Pinot Blanc, and 4 ½ acres of rootstock.”Broadley Vineyards
265 South 5th Street Monroe, 541-847-5934 “We believe that good wine is first made in the vineyard. At Broadley, Pinot Noir grapes are harvested from several designated blocks on the estate. More Pinot Noir (and occasionally Chardonnay grapes) are sourced from hand selected vineyards that also use meticulous farming methods in order to harvest the healthiest fruit the vintage can bring. Wooden fermenters impart unique qualities to our wine. We also use whole clusters in fermentation when the vintage ripens the fruit’s stems and the flavor and intensity of the fruit is there.”Walnut Ridge Vineyard
