About Sokol Blosser Winery:

In 1971, our parents, Susan Sokol and Bill Blosser, planted their first vines in the Dundee Hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley—long before there was a wine industry here. With little more than determination and belief in the land, they helped lay the foundation for what has become one of the world’s most respected wine regions. Today, Oregon is home to over 900 wineries and 37,000+ acres of vineyards, with wines enjoyed around the globe. Through it all, Sokol Blosser has remained family-owned, evolving with intention while staying rooted in the values that started it all. We craft world-class wines with a deep commitment to sustainability, allowing the character of our hillside vineyards to shine through. Every bottle reflects who we are—our land, our values, and our dedication to doing things the right way. We’re glad you’re here.
