Redefining eminent domain, Eminent Domaine produces delicious Pinot noirs and Chardonnays in a tucked away corner of wine country. In 2002, Jeff Meader and his family embarked on their dream adventure of having a vineyard and winery of their own. Starting with a little parcel in the coveted Ribbon Ridge AVA, they produced 150 cases of Pinot noir in 2006. After opening a tasting room on the property in 2016, plans began for a winery and home next door. In 2018, Jeff, his wife Heather, their two daughters, Ava and Charley, and their dog, Benny moved to the estate.
The Ribbon Ridge AVA is a special corner of the Willamette Valley and Eminent Domaine's wines are one of its best kept secrets. The wines have received some of the highest accolades from major wine publications, but also the admiration of passionate wine drinkers in the know.

"A boutique winery with amazing wines and a lovely setting, you will not be disappointed. Buy a bottle and sit out out on the grounds and relax and take in the beautiful hillside views. Don is a great host and if you only knew his background... it doesn't take a Rocket scientist to make wine.. or does it?!" -Don O, Google Review
