Holloran vineyard wines Small production, sustainably farmed wines that represent the unique characteristics of our vineyards As a grower and wine producer since 1999 in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, our handcrafted wines begin in the vineyards we own and farm.

La Chenaie Vineyard-Eola Amity Hills Located near Salem, Oregon, in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, Le Chenaie is a 103 acre site with 18 acres producing, and 8 more in the process of being planted. Here we grow Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Tempranillo, all on resistant rootstocks. The rows are 6’ wide, so each acre contains between 1400 & 2200 plants.

Eve & Bill Holloran

Eve and Bill moved to the Portland area in 1999. Their entry into the wine business was simply meant to be.

They purchased a “heritage” vineyard on Worden Hill Road in Dundee and a large parcel of land perfect for grape growing in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. When the harvest of 1999 fast approached they needed a place to make wine so the winery began in a converted horse barn located at their West Linn property in September 1999. (Bill is credited for launching the “garagiste” movement in Oregon in 1999.) Their first harvest in 1999 produced 500 cases of Pinot noir, Riesling, and Chardonnay. 

Fast forward many years and the winery and vineyards have since been expanded as has HVW’s case production.

Bill started in technology when punched cards were in vogue, and has “retired” from the software business to be full time at HVW. Eve began her career as a graphic designer. She now manages events, marketing, wine dinners, and tastings.
