Located in the heart of the Dundee Hills, we are one of Oregon’s last remaining pioneering wineries that is still family-owned and operated. Our passion is crafting a portfolio of wines that reflect the character of our hillside vineyards, and our values guide every aspect of our work. We are proud to be a certified B Corp, to produce wine in a LEED-certified barrel cellar, and our vineyard is certified organic. We are committed to being good stewards of our land and active contributors to our community.

We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applicants of all backgrounds. We do not discriminate based on race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or veteran status.

When our parents Susan Sokol and Bill Blosser planted their first vines in the Dundee Hills AVA (American Viticultural Area) of the Willamette Valley 1971, they needed all of their youthful self-confidence, energy and determination to make their way because, at the time, there was no wine industry in Oregon. Today, with over 900 wineries and more than 37,000 acres of planted vineyards, Oregon has grown exponentially and its wines are available throughout the world. Sokol Blosser has survived, grown and prospered as a family-owned and run operation, and we are proud to have been part of developing and shaping Oregon’s now prominent wine industry. We create wines of world class quality that are produced sustainably, mindful of the environment, that express the distinctive flavors of our hillside vineyards. Sokol Blosser wines reflect who we are – our values and our sense of place. We hope you enjoy them.
