True to Oregon, it was born from the spirit of rugged individualism and relentless exploration. It all began in 1988 when accomplished winemaker Steve Girard walked away from the familiar and ventured North, driven by a desire to craft cool-climate Pinot Noir in the then-uncharted region of Oregon’s Southern Willamette Valley. His journey led him to the pristine soils of a historic sheep ranch on

a sweeping ridge that extended from the Coastal Mountain Range. The surrounding mountains protected the ranch by gently pushing rain clouds to the north and south of the property, creating the perfect mix of sunny days and cool nights needed for growing Pinot Noir. Cloaked in a thick forest and surrounded by miles of untouched land, his newly planted vineyard offered an interesting mix of sedimentary and volcanic soils which would provide a diverse opportunity for terroir expression. Today, those same roots run deep, and Benton-Lane continues to produce expressive wines of complexity and nuance from our estate vineyards, planted to an array of clones and rootstocks. We preserve the purity of our land by farming sustainably, and we protect the authenticity of our wines by letting this modest but mighty plot of land speak for itself in the cellar. We invite you to join us for the next chapter of our adventure as we acknowledge our pioneering roots while charting the future of our extraordinary hillside estate in the Southern Willamette Valley.

Summer is officially here, and so is our favorite evening tradition. Join us every Friday in June, July & August for Pizza & Pinot — a laid-back, spirited night out at the winery featuring live musicians, crackling wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizzas made fresh from scratch, and of course, our estate-grown Pinot Noir poured generously.

Whether you're celebrating a big milestone or simply toasting the end of a long week, there's no better place to be than the Benton-Lane estate as the sun dips behind the Coast Range.

And! Congratulations to the Class of 2026 at the University of Oregon and Oregon State University! Celebrate your big milestone with family at the winery — all grads welcome.

The energy right now in our vineyard is electric. You can feel it — clusters tightening, canopies reaching, the whole block humming with intention. Amael Orrego has watched these Willamette Valley vines push through cold springs and lean into long summer days, coaxing something extraordinary from the ordinary act of growing.

Ten years of Willamette Valley magic — and we wouldn’t miss it. Benton-Lane is proud to have poured at the 2026 Willamette Valley Wine Auction last week, where rare, hand-numbered, winemaker-signed bottles find their forever homes. Whimsy & Wonder, indeed. 🍷

Gifts come and go, but an afternoon spent at Benton-Lane will stay with her forever. Happy Mother's Day weekend!

Soil to root. Root to vine. Vine to bottle. Table to soul.⁠
⁠
Benton-Lane was built on a deep love for this land, and on Earth Day, that love feels especially alive. Pour a glass and step outside!⁠

The wilderness was here first. The fog. The wind. The sun. What you taste in every glass is not something we gave it — it’s everything this place refused to give up.

This is Benton-Lane.

Oregon couldn't decide between forest and vineyard, so Benton-Lane said, why not both? The trees hold the edges, the vines spill into the middle, and somewhere in the golden in-between, spring quietly unpacks its bags and gets to work.
