Kristin Hill Winery was brought to life by Eric & Linda Aberg. In the 1980’s they retired from the US Military and began a search for the ideal place to start their dream of growing and producing German style wines. This led to them purchasing the property north of Amity and planting their first acre of Gewurztraminer in 1985. In the next 12 years they planted 26 acres of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. Their legacy also includes being one of the founding members of the Eola Amity hills AVA.Dave and Briana Rasmussen, owners of Purple Cow Vineyards/Winery and VinTyr Wines, as newlyweds wanted to bring their brands into one location and further their expansion into traditional Oregon varietals. The Kristin Hill Vineyard property offered this opportunity. This property has a large enough facility to handle all 3 brands and custom production.The Rasmussen Family expands upon the Aberg’s legacy by keeping the Kristin Hill Winery Brand. Kristin Hill Winery produces traditional German and Oregon wines with the unique styles of the Rasmussen Family. In 2020 the winemaking family expanded with the addition of Soren Rasmussen joining the team and adding his own unique wines.This multi generation Family business is creating amazing award-winning wines and keeping with Estate family vineyard living.We look forward to your visit.The Rasmussens
