The geology of the land that the 11-acre vineyard occupies is extremely unique to the region. Instead of relatively deep soils from floods or volcanic events, the vines must grow in a mixture of sandstone and fossilized oyster shells, resulting in the need for exacting care, which in turn results in wine of exceptional quality.

Stop by to taste current releases, inspirational bottlings from around the world, or rare wines from Antica Terra’s personal collection.

Brooks Vineyard and Winery

Sit back and relax in their beautiful tasting room while enjoying a flight of wine and the expansive views. You can choose from a few different experiences when you visit this Eola-Amity Hills winery, so if you would like to explore more than the tasting room, you can take a private tour of the winery or vineyard. Tastings are available by appointment only.

Evening Land Vineyards
