About
Illahe Vineyards is a family-owned winery established in 1983, specializing in hand-crafted, sustainable Pinot Noir and white wines made with age-old techniques from soil to bottle. They focus on small lots using gentle basket presses and French oak aging, with no electricity or mechanization for some wines. Their 80-acre LIVE-certified vineyard in shallow clay soils practices dry farming without irrigation for mature plants and uses horses for grape transport.
