Located in the center of the famed Ribbon Ridge AVA, Trisaetum is a family-owned and operated winery that vinifies hand-picked fruit from each one of our three estate vineyards in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Small, hands-on fermentations produce highly-praised Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Chardonnay; Cabernet Sauvignon from Walla Walla’s Seven Hills Vineyard; and some sparkling wines too.
