Chris and Beth met and started dating in Indianapolis in 2009 where both were working on their graduate education. During their first date, Chris announced his goal of developing a vineyard and making wine. As the relationship evolved, Chris worked toward the goal by researching viticulture, attending classes and investigating potential vineyard sites. In summer of 2011, Chris and Beth got married and dove into the wine industry when they purchased a majestic 62 acre property in the foothills of the coastal mountain range in Yamhill County. The property had been an old timber farm that was in bad shape. In 2012, a portion of the property was cleared and planted and the adventure had just begun!The vineyard was planted in 2012, with additional blocks planted each year since. In 2015 they produced our first lots of Pinor Noir and Sauvignon Blanc and have since expanded the wine selection to offer hand-crafted lots of Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Dolcetto, Lagrein and more.These days, Chris manages the day to day operations of the farm and wine production while Beth manages the business.

In the spring and summer see our returning osprey who have. nested on our dock since 2013. There are now 2 osprey platform since a pair of Canada geese choose that as their nesting site as well. Some bald eagles winter here but we have our resident bald eagles Hep and Hope. They arrived in 2003 to start their nest on Crims Island. They still nest there although there old nest tree collapsed in 2020. Many birds migrate here for the winter.

Stories from the community

This campsite is rather large and is perfect for an RV. There is gravel under the grass. Lots of sun but no shade. This site can also get quite windy in the afternoon. This site is on the river and has 110 electricity and water. You have to back in or out.

1 night at Lavender Farm

Quiet, clean, and a great view of the stars. Saw a few cats, deer, and many horses on the drive-in. I watched a beautiful sunset and the harvest moon! Very little light pollution, so the stars were very visible. The stay was so peaceful and quiet. There was hose and a 50amp to 30amp adapter waiting for me when I arrived, such a nice touch. I would highly recommend a stay at the Lavender field.

1 night at Lavender Farm

Once again the Lavender farm was even more than we could have hoped for. Stayed in site 3 again and it was very convenient and easy to back into. Water and electric very accessible. We were able to see host Everett for a short visit and he was as personable and charming as ever. Bends over backwards to make sure everything on his place is as close to perfect as possible. Will spend many more days there next year on our return visit to the northwest💜

We had a lovely stay on Karin's property! The RV spot sat right on the river with plenty of privacy, but still close to the bathroom/shower and kitchen area. Everyone was very friendly and happy to suggest things to do and see and the property had everything we needed! We loved swimming off of the dock, paddleboarding and watching the wildlife around the property. Very relaxing spot and would definitely come back to stay again.

What an amazing find. Dave was so accommodating in the space is great, especially if you have dogs. It’s basically his very big backyard completely fenced in. Convenient to Portland, convenient to mount Hood. Made some new friends with a couple who was camping there when we got there. Dave even filled my water tanks before I left.

Pristinely beautiful property, the smell of lavender lulls you to sleep. Sites are a little small and tricky to back a trailer into, but very level. Perfect for an overnight off of I-5 or a longer visit.

If you’re looking for a safe, clean, quiet place to stay in an RV or tent, this is the place. Everett is very responsive and kind. He helped us when we arrived quickly over the app. Bathroom very nice and clean. Other campers were kind and quiet. Highly recommend sites 1 & 2. We saw a lot of different birds while we were there. Just a few minutes to the freeway and a short drive into Portland. Highly recommend Everett’s spaces! Thank you again so very much for hosting us and your kindness.

1 night at Old Wagon Road Vineyard

We loved spending the night in the vineyard! It was truly something very special with that nice view from the hill with the the clear stars in the sky and surrounded by the vineyard! It was easy to find even late at night thanks to good instructions by the host. They are very nice and we even bought one of their yummy wines from the tasting room - which is also amazing.

4 nights at Lavender Farm

The land was beautiful! It was the perfect basecamp for where we wanted to go. We stayed for 4 nights. We will definitely be back! If you have dogs, beware the inviting-looking big open fields-lots of blackberry vines with thorns. There weren’t any stickers or burrs though. The 3 sites are pretty close together. If you’re in site 3, make sure you have a very long hose to empty gray water. The drive up to the property is fairly steep so make sure your stuff is secured in your trailer! The only negative was no black tank disposal even though I checked the filter for sewage hookup.

Very nice stopover for the night. Very quiet and plenty of room to sit and relax after a long drive. Lots of shopping close by if needed and not too far from the freeway. Dave is very welcoming and friendly and made sure we were comfortable. Even the squirrels were entertaining.

This was our second stay at Everett’s place. Great quick stop-over for us. Very convenient off of I-5 (about 10 min), but quiet and peaceful on the top of a hill near the Lavender field. Access to nice bathroom and shower. RV spots are well-spaced, but on an open tarmac area with no shade or visual privacy. Tent spot is under trees with a bit more privacy.

Just as advertised, a large fenced field near Portland. Host met us on arrival, allowed us to get some water from a tap at his house, which is adjacent. Felt very secure. Double gate allows access in or out at all hours.

Weekend Trip to Old Wagon Road Vineyard

Thank you so much for welcoming us to your property! It is truly a beautiful place, and we had such a peaceful overnight surrounded by acres of forest, rolling hills, and fields of grapes. Everything felt so clean, serene, and relaxing. We especially appreciated the off-leash policy for dogs—after a week of travel, our pup Fifi loved the freedom and had the best time exploring. We were treated to gorgeous morning views and left feeling refreshed and rested. We had some delays along our route and arrived after wine tasting hours, so unfortunately were not able to experience to the fullest, but we hope to come back! Thank you again!
