Located near Corvallis, close to the quaint town of Philomath, Cardwell Hill Winery’s name comes from its address on Cardwell Hill Drive, named after Oregon pioneer Byron P. Cardwell. Remarkably, it contained Wädenswil, a Swiss clone of Pinot Noir. According to The Eyrie Vineyards’ Jason Lett, Pinot Noir arrived in Switzerland from Burgundy in the 17th century. As they celebrate the last two-and-a-half decades, Cardwell Hill Cellars represents much more than a business success.
