Tyee Pinot noir wine grapes


Tyee Wine Cellars is located in the heart of the Willamette Valley near Corvallis, Oregon. Our vineyard and winery are on the Buchanan Family Century farm nestled between the foothills of Oregon's Coast Range and the valley floor, in close proximity to a winding creek. With rich soils and a moderate, cool climate, the Willamette Valley produces world class wines. We specialize in well-balanced food wines including; Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Pinot gris, Pinot blanc, and Gewurztraminer.



Tyee, an early Northwest word meaning "chief" or "the best" symbolizes our commitment to the production of handcrafted varietal wines of highest quality. The symbol on our Pinot noir label (at left) shows in traditional Northwest design, the raven stealing the sun, bringing light to the world, a symbol which makes a strong impression during dark, rainy Oregon winters while waiting for the light and warmth of spring.
