Vidon
They cater to Oregon wine tasters who like to “peek behind the curtain”. If you're a fan of boutique wineries that produce distinct, site-specific wines, step inside Vidon's tasting room. The wines are great, and Don is a charming fellow.
Owned & operated by Don & Vicki Hagge since 1999, they are a LIVE certified sustainable vineyard and winery at an elevation between 400 and 500 feet facing south towards the Red Hills of Dundee. They purchased the 12 1/2 acres in 1999, planted the vines, harvest the fruit, make the wine and sell it out of the winery.
The name VIDON (Vee-Dohn) comes from Vicki And Don, Founders of VIDON Vineyard in Newberg, Oregon, Chehalem Mountains AVA. Don’s vision for VIDON was shaped by two life experiences – having been born and raised on a farm in North Dakota and living in France while doing post-graduate physics research. As a result, he loves farming and Burgundy wines. This led to his plan to develop a small Willamette Valley vineyard with a winery that produced premium Estate Pinot Noir wines.
Their production this year was just 2,000 cases, an authentic boutique family winery. Although the focus is on premium Pinot Noirs they also make Tempranillo, Syrah, Chardonnay, and Viognier.
And why the bees on the label? Ask them.
$20 tasting fee is refunded with $100 purchase. The current tasting flights allow visitors to compare-and-contrast the unique characteristics of the individual clones in two different vintages of Pinot Noir... or try a selection of all that our estate has to offer.
