About Iris Vineyards

A reflection of Oregon’s Willamette Valley—where dry-farmed vineyards, diverse soils, and a cool climate come together to create wines of balance, elegance, and true sense of place.

Brand Story

Founded in 1992, Iris Vineyards is a historic Willamette Valley producer and one of Oregon’s first 100 wineries. Rooted in Oregon soils and focused on Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir, Iris is defined by dry-farmed vineyards.

With no irrigation, vines rely solely on natural rainfall, driving roots deep into iron-rich soils and yielding wines of depth, balance, and authentic sense of place.

Guided by winemaker Nicole Walsh, whose 29 vintages embody both precision and intuition, the wines are composed, expressive, and distinctly Willamette Valley.
