Soter Vineyards is the culmination of Tony Soter’s life-long study in viticulture and winegrowing.  Settled at Mineral Springs Ranch in the Yamhill-Carlton District of the Willamette Valley, Tony and his family invite you to experience this place they regard as a haven for raising exceptional Oregon Pinot Noir and sparkling wines. Tony Soter At its core, Soter Vineyards is the culmination of many years of study and preparation. Ever since he came to the Napa Valley in 1975, Tony Soter has been fascinated with the process of grape growing and winemaking. He brings to Soter Vineyards the experience of over 30 harvests, the erudition and attention to detail reflected in countless wines, and most importantly, the desire to make great wines from very specific places on his own terms. A symphony, half a lifetime in meticulous composition, is now in performance.

Inspired and encouraged by a chance meeting in his cellar with Lalou Bize-Leroy in 1980, Pinot Noir has long been a source of fascination for Tony Soter. It is through Pinot Noir that the voice of the earth - a vineyard's terroir - is transmitted most clearly. The goal of Soter Vineyards is therefore to produce elegant, complex, emotionally thrilling Pinot Noirs that express the individuality of their sites, and in the case of North Valley Pinot Noir - our Willamette Valley blend - deliver impeccable value.
