Description
This photograph of the vineyard view and the surrounding Willamette Valley was taken during an oral history interview with Lowell Ford at Illahe Vineyards in Dallas, Oregon on December 11, 2017. Ford was interviewed by Linfield College archivist Rich Schmidt.
Lowell Ford is the owner of Illahe Vineyards, whose approach to winemaking is characterized by minimal intervention and historical techniques. The LIVE-certified, Salmon Safe vineyard is on an 80-acre, south-facing slope, first planted in 2001 with predominantly Pinot Noir. The solar-powered winery is also gravity-flow, utilizing the natural slope of the site.
