Hundred Suns Winery

Hundred Suns Winery is a small, family-owned winery located in Oregon's Willamette Valley, specifically in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. The winemaking philosophy is centered around minimal intervention, with wines fermented using indigenous yeast and native malolactic bacteria, and no use of unnatural additives. This approach allows the vineyards and vintages to speak for themselves, resulting in wines that are meant to be enjoyed both now and in the future. The winery's signature varietals are not explicitly stated on their website, but they do emphasize a focus on quality and terroir-driven wines. The couple behind Hundred Suns, Grant Coulter and Renée Saint-Amour, met over 20 years ago and shared a dream of building a life together that felt like an adventure. They spent a decade in the Willamette Valley, with Grant gaining experience as a winemaker at Hamacher Wines and Beaux Frères, while Renée taught high school and eventually joined Grant in the cellar. In 2015, they took the leap and moved to the valley to start Hundred Suns, initially working on small projects before purchasing their own property in 2018. The winery is now located on a 4.5-acre estate vineyard, which they farm themselves, and are currently building their own winery down the hill from their home. Tasting experiences at Hundred Suns are not well-documented online, but visitors can explore the wines through their website or by joining their mailing list. The atmosphere and vibe of the winery seem to be centered around a passion for quality, sustainability, and family-driven winemaking.
