White Salmon Vineyard, previously a pear orchard, is home to 20 acres of fine wine grapes. We grow primarily Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The property was chosen for the weather conditions and soil, both ideal for these two varietals. Though, equally at home are Malbec, Syrah, Reisling, and Sauvignon Blanc. The Columbia Gorge AVA was originally based on this cool climate area. The soils were formed by volcanic activity thousands of years ago and the vineyard maintains at least three different soil types. These conditions, plus a carefully selected mix of clones, combine to provide a terrior for world-class grapes.

The Chardonnay field is not as light or rocky as the Pinot Noir field. While still a sandy loam, there is some clay mixed in. This clay supports a bigger vine. The vines are planted 1.5 meters apart and are 2.5 meters across the row. A trellis to support a Scott Henry system is in place. Less than half of the vines fill the trellis, while most are on a VSP with one fruiting zone.
