1971
On a beautiful June day in 1971, David Adelsheim and Ginny Adelsheim stood
above an open field and were taken with the beauty of its orange and purple
wildflowers. Five hundred feet below, Oregon's north Willamette Valley stretched
out in a patchwork of orchards, pasture and native trees. The field, rich
with clay-loam soil, had a gentle southern exposure and was sheltered by
the Chehalem Mountains. The Adelsheims had dreamed of planting a vineyard
in the area since returning from a summer in Europe, where they were inspired
by the artisanal foods and wines they encountered.
