Introducing our Vineyard Treks!
We invite you to experience an adventure through our 30-year-old Pinot Noir vines. Throughout the tour you will experience how an organic and biodynamic farm functions as well as how these practices make their way into our cellar. The expedition ends with a tasting of our wines and sends each explorer home with a commemorative logo wine glass.
Dress weather appropriate, as the secret ingredients in Oregon Pinot Noir are rain, wind and sunshine!
Fridays : 4:00pm
Saturdays : 11:00am
Cost is $15/person and a 10% discount will be added to wine purchases. Reservations required either through email or by calling Jason at 503-649-0027.
Cooper Mountain Vineyards today is recognized as an innovative leader in a vineyard movement that rapidly is gaining acceptance. Biodynamic® farming has an increasingly important role in vineyard and winery management. The practices that once seemed to have little benefit finally are being talked about openly. On the forefront of this effort is Dr. Robert J. Gross, the owner of our vineyards and winery, Gerry Sanchez, our vineyard manager and Gilles de Domingo, our winemaker.
Why are Biodynamic® practices relevant? The use of natural preparations, rather than manmade chemicals, works to enhance the vines by repairing and building our soils to provide ideal growing conditions. Beneficial cover crops grow naturally and encourage equally beneficial insects. Our soil samples reveal active microorganisms that are of great benefit to soil environment. This site gets into more detail if you wish to read on, but suffice to say that Biodynamic® practices work to support terroir — the French term for all of a vineyard’s characteristics that help shape a wine. These practices, in the end — in the bottle — result in wines that truly represent their roots.
