Dukes Family Vineyards is located in the beautiful North Willamette Valley of Oregon; one of the premier Pinot Noir regions of the world.

The Willamette Valley runs 110 miles North to South and 60 miles East to West stretching from Northwest of Portland to South beyond Eugene and is bordered on the West by the Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains on the East. The soils and climatic conditions existing in the North Willamette Valley are amazingly similar (with the exception of rain fall) to those existing in the Burgundy region of France. The Valley's maritime influences from the Pacific Ocean are moderated by the Coastal Range. The resulting macroclimate offers a long, but cool growing season enabling the grapes to fully ripen. With wet and cool conditions in the winter and warmer, dryer conditions in the summer, the region is ideally suited to Pinot Noir.
