Celestial Hill Vineyard

Celestial Hill Vineyard is a boutique winery located in the Willamette Valley AVA of Oregon's McMinnville region. The estate, founded by Chris and Melissa Thomas, is committed to producing Burgundian-style wines that showcase the unique terroir of their four distinct vineyards. The vineyards, spread across 15 acres, are situated on a combination of volcanic and marine sedimentary soils, with subtle elevation changes, allowing for exceptional terroir-based wines. Celestial Hill's focus is on estate-grown pinot noir and chardonnay, handcrafted in small batches using traditional French techniques. The winemaking team, led by Florent-Pierre Merlier, a Burgundy native with nearly 20 years of experience in the Willamette Valley, blends Old World heritage with New World innovation to create elegant and approachable wines that are true to their Oregon roots. Visitors can tour the estate vineyard and winery or visit the McMinnville tasting room, which offers tastings by appointment or chance. The winery's commitment to sustainability is evident in its certified organic farming practices, reflecting the owners' deep connection to the land and their desire to produce wines that are a natural extension of the vineyard itself.
