Lonesome Rock

Lonesome Rock Cellars is a Willamette Valley winery located in Carlton, Oregon, known for its estate-grown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines defined by elevation, volcanic soils, and coastal influence. The winery's tasting house, situated high above the valley floor, offers intimate and personal visits by appointment, hosted by the owners who farm the vineyard and make every winemaking decision. Lonesome Rock is a singular, organically farmed estate vineyard in the rugged hills west of Carlton, with fractured volcanic soils, steady coastal winds, and a long growing season that shapes fruit of clarity and tension. The winery prioritizes sustainability through its Certified LIVE (Low Input Viticulture & Enology) practices, which emphasize soil health, biodiversity, and balanced ecosystems. Founded by Danny and Susan Klieman, who met in France, Lonesome Rock is the culmination of a lifelong pursuit to create world-class wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Willamette Valley. The region's reputation for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is rooted in its rare convergence of latitude, climate, and soils, which yields wines defined by balance, aromatic nuance, and precision.
