A Truly Special Place

Celestial Hill is one of the westernmost vineyards in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range in the Willamette Valley, where vineyards enjoy the hot, dry summers favored by pinot noir and chardonnay grapes. But it’s Celestial Hill’s proximity to the Pacific Ocean that’s responsible for the cool evening breezes that allow the grapes to remain on the vine longer. Four distinct vineyards spread across 12 acres produce purposefully low yields, marrying volcanic and oceanic sedimentary soil with subtle elevation changes to create exceptional terroir-based wines with a true sense of place.

Instilled with the dreams of its owners, Celestial Hill is a boutique vineyard in Oregon’s renowned Willamette Valley, where Chris and Melissa Thomas hand-cultivate pinot noir and chardonnay grapes to produce small-batch wines in the Burgundian style. They maintain a close connection to the earth, making their home on the 52-acre property and committing themselves fully to giving the grapes and vines the attention they deserve.  

With the belief that fine wine starts with the soil, Celestial Hill produces wines that are a natural extension of the vineyard itself: approachable, welcoming, and authentic. The moment you step foot on Celestial Hill soil, and sample our world-class, high-quality wines, you’ll understand why we’re unapologetically true to the land.

Book a private tour Celestial Hill Vineyard to learn more about our terroir-based wines and the passion we pour into every glass. Stroll the vineyard, or enjoy a flight in our Carlton tasting room.
