The Chehalem Mountains (pronounced Sha-HAY-lum) include the highly-acclaimed Ribbon Ridge AVA and are home to some of the most familiar names in Oregon wine, numerous boutique wineries and many small, family-owned vineyards. All on Portland's doorstep!
Formed by floods, volcanoes and wind-blown sediment, the Chehalem Mountains include the highest elevations and most diverse soils in the Willamette Valley. Well-tended vineyards rooted in this exciting geology provide winemakers with many options and the ability to create quality wines for every palate.
A wine with 'Chehalem Mountains' or 'Ribbon Ridge' on the label assures craftsmanship from vine to glass. These are wines and a region worth exploring.
