Oregon Wine Country Wedding
We had another wonderful wine country wedding on The Hill. Here is what the bride had to say. As far as our experience it was phenomenal, really nothing that I could even try and pinpoint that I wasn’t happy about. Your Inn Keeper Becky was so great. She would check in on us hourly to [...]

Wine Country Weddings

Oregon Pinot Noir
The vines are growing like crazy in Oregon Pinot Noir country. June and July are the most prolific growing months of the season.

4th of July in the Willamette Valley
The sun is out, the temperatures are rising and we are all set for a great Independence Day in the Willamette Valley.

We are hoeing the weeds and grass out of the rows, raising catch wires and shoot positioning to manage the canopy, shoot continuing out spray program, and mowing the cover crop. The [...]
