At Home In Eola-Amity Hills

Our Story

Lingua Franca was inspired by an extraordinary vineyard site in the Eola-Amity Hills of the Willamette Valley. Our name represents a fine tradition of universal language, bringing people of different worlds to common ground – shared conversation, shared enjoyment.

Our Wines

All of our work is guided by respect for the environment, encouraging healthy diversity of life around and among us. We follow sustainable farming practices animated by biodynamic principles. Our winemaking methods are traditional, and we work with a light hand. We do not conform to a predetermined style, but allow the flavors and aromas of the place to express themselves in each bottling. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or inquiries.

It is a winemaker’s winery in layout, with special features from crush pad to bottling line that ensure economy of effort all year round.
