As for our history, Tom Huggins, founder and general
manager of Eola Hills, had a dream rooted in facts. He knew that great wines
could only come from great vineyards, and through his former occupation as a
agricultural insurance expert, he knew where that precious vineyard land was
located. This knowledge enabled him to purchase some of the prime sites for his
own vineyards in the rolling terrain of the Northwest Willamette Valley of
Oregon, and to fulfill a dream of creating his own wine.
Situated in
a natural weather shadow of the Coast Range, which shunts storms from the
Pacific Ocean north to Portland and south below
Salem in the Willamette Valley, the Eola Hills
vineyards are protected from weather extremes. Yet in summer, a gorge carved by
ancient glaciers draws in maritime air to provide ideal cooling for sensitive
varietals in those warmer months.
With these extensive holdings, the
winery is able to control quality throughout the grape growing and wine making
processes. This enables Eola Hills to offer the public consumer friendly wines
at irresistible prices. For the most sophisticated palates, the winery also
produces in very limited quantity, certain Reserve and Late Harvest bottlings,
hand-crafted and extensively aged. Always, however, all wines are created to
enhance food and ultimate dining pleasure and so are particularly suited to
fine restaurants.
Eola Hills also produces a number of private label
wines for many prestigious restaurants, resorts, hotels and other clients.
These wines are identical to those produced under Eola Hills' own label. "Our
name," says Tom Huggins, "is on the label as well as the patron's. Both should
reap the reputation of serving the very best."
