Lachini Vineyards

What Lachini Vineyards does

Lachini Vineyards is a family-owned, single-estate winery headquartered in Newberg, Oregon, operating a 45-acre biodynamic and organic vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains AVA of the Willamette Valley (~30.5 acres planted to Pinot Noir, 1.5 acres to Chardonnay). Founded by Ron and Marianne Lachini in 2001 after planting first vines in 1998, the company has pursued a single-vineyard, old-world Pinot Noir expression with minimal-intervention winemaking — whole-cluster and native fermentations, 100% French oak, and very low yields (approximately 2 tons/acre). The product portfolio ranges from the flagship Estate Pinot Noir ($75) through Cuvée Giselle ($95), the ultra-limited Prima ($125, ~180 six-packs/year), Sorellini, and a value-tier Grape Republic, alongside limited bottlings of Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Rosé, sparkling Brut Rosé, and sourced Cabernet Sauvignon and red blends from Red Mountain, WA. The go-to-market is entirely direct-to-consumer: three wine clubs (L'VIP, L'Connoisseur, Prima — 6 to 24 bottles per year with minimum one-year commitments and a $175 early termination fee), an e-commerce storefront via OrderPort, and three physical experience sites — The Villa at the Estate (opened late 2024), the Tualatin Winery & Tasting Bar, and the Woodinville Enoteca (opening August 2026) — that together host estate tastings (minimum $50/person), Saturday Luncheons ($145/person), corporate/private events, and a capped calendar of up to 10 weddings annually. Customer mix is concentrated on discerning Pinot Noir enthusiasts, with Tualatin positioned for private enterprise-style bookings and the Newberg Villa for consumer and celebratory event revenue.
