About the Brand
Illahe Vineyards and Winery is a family-owned winery located in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, USA. Established in 1999, Illahe is known for its commitment to sustainable and organic farming practices, aiming to produce wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. The name "Illahe" is derived from a Chinook Jargon word meaning "earth" or "place," which aligns with the winery's dedication to preserving the land and environment.
Illahe specializes in crafting small-batch, hand-crafted wines, with a focus on Pinot Noir, one of the signature grape varieties of the Willamette Valley. The winery also produces other varietals such as Pinot Gris, Viognier, and Tempranillo. Illahe is notable for its use of traditional, low-intervention winemaking techniques, including the use of a horse-drawn cart for vineyard work, manual pressing, and even the production of wines without the use of electricity—referred to as "1899 Pinot Noir," which emphasizes a completely natural approach to winemaking.
With its emphasis on sustainability, craftsmanship, and a connection to the land, Illahe Vineyards and Winery has gained a reputation for producing high-quality wines that are a true expression of Oregon's Willamette Valley.
