Our Vineyards
Tres Colline is both a domain and négociant winery. We primarily source fruit from our own Tres Colline Vineyard, and occasionally from local Willamette Valley vineyards and growers that share our exacting standards. This allows us the freedom to craft boutique wines of the highest quality without sacrifice or limitations. Learn about Tres Colline’s vineyard, as well as the vineyards we are currently honored to work with.
Tres Colline Estate
Estate Series
The vineyards of Tres Colline estate are planted high in the hills above the town of McMinnville, Oregon. The elevated site sits within the acclaimed Yamhill-Carlton AVA and boasts spectacular mountain views. The 40-acre estate includes 11 acres planted to vine, and a mix of volcanic and marine sedimentary soils, producing plush, fruit-focused wines with mineral complexities.
Tres Colline’s unique terroir sits on a western-facing slope with elevations rising from 750 ft to nearly 1000 ft. The combination of varying elevation and natural forest shade allows the fruit to ripen gradually. This “ripening wave,” combined with the vineyard’s distinct soil composition and our winemaking team’s skill, gives us the ability to produce extraordinary wines.
Our Partners
Cuatro Series
We believe that great wine begins on the vine, and we have partnered with vineyards throughout Willamette Valley that represent the best of Oregon. These passionate growers lovingly care for every vine, with a focus on sustainable and environmentally friendly farming, making them the perfect partners for our portfolio.
Case Vineyard
Case vineyard is a small property located a few miles northeast of Tres Colline, in the Chehalem Mountains AVA. Family owned and operated, Case Vineyard focuses on sustainable growing practices.
Bednarik
The Bednarik vineyard sits on a majestic hill in the cool Coast Range outside of Cherry Grove. The 6-acre, own-rooted vineyard was planted at 350 elevation on a south/southwest exposure to Pommard and Wadensvil clones in 1988.
Carson Phillips
Carson Phillips’ home vineyard is tucked away amongst the fir trees in the Dundee Hills. The vineyard was planted in 2000 on an ideally suited 40-acre farm with deep Jory volcanic soil. Carson Phillips grows vines with the closest attention to detail, using sustainable and organic practices without irrigation.
La Belle Promenade
La Belle Promenade vineyard sits in the Chehalem Mountains AVA with 36 acres of volcanic Jory and Nekia soils. On an exposed hilltop at a rocky 820 ft. elevation, the vineyard has a cooler microclimate with sun exposure from varying directions, uniquely ripening each block of vines.
Lone Feather
This distinctive vineyard, primarily own-rooted and established in 1989, rests on a steep hillside in the McMinnville AVA. The vines grow in rocky, well-drained volcanic soils. The cool, windy maritime climate encourages the development of small berries with thick skins, producing wines that are concentrated, structured and naturally high in acidity.
