Eric Lemelson planted two acres of Pinot noir as a hobby on a hillside farm near Newberg in 1995. Today Lemelson Vineyards owns and manages 130 acres at five sites in three AVA’s (Yamhill-Carlton, Dundee Hills, and Chehalem Mountains) in Yamhill County, taking advantage of terroir diversity from multiple soil types and elevations ranging from 250 to 1,000 feet. All vineyards have been farmed organically from the beginning, and have been certified organic since 2004. The gravity-flow winery reflects both a strong commitment to sustainability, grounded in Eric Lemelson’s background as an environmental lawyer and a “no-compromises” approach to wine quality. Lemelson Vineyards is available throughout the country. We are available in fine wine retail stores and high-quality restaurants alike. Visit the Winery and taste our wines in our beautiful tasting room located just outside Carlton, OR. Open daily from 11AM-4PM (winter hours Dec.- Feb.)
