Knostman Family Winery

About the Winery

Our tasting room is located next to the vineyard and orchard and along the banks of the bucolic North Umpqua River. As you enter the tasting room you will be greeted with a splash of wine, a smile, and an explanation of what we have to offer. The tasting room is very relaxing and we do offer a charcuterie board along with our award winning wine, but you are more than welcome to bring your own food, family, and dogs and enjoy the amazing setting.

Great wine starts in the vineyard and we have been working hard on ours. We have converted to, no till, dry farming, and going through the steps for organic certification. We are currently growing whites Muscat, Pinot Gris, and Sauvignon Blanc and reds Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Syrah. Our goal in wine making is to let the beauty of this place express itself in the wine. Consequently we do as little manipulation of the wine as possible during the winemaking process. We only make small lots of estate wine with production ranging from 25 cases to 75 cases depending on varietal and the vintage. We make both varietal specific wine as well as red and white blends. Reds are barrel aged for at least 8 months or longer than bottle aged for a year before release.

If you are in the beautiful Umpqua Valley area please come by and give us a try.
