Meet Chaly & Kerry Balanza

They fell in love with each other, then they fell in love with Oregon Pinot. Chaly has a love of adventure, building things, and tennis - something which brought him to the US from Bolivia. Kerry has a love of adventure, wine, especially French, cooking, and gardening. They have centered their lives together around a love of family, food, quality time with friends, and weaving together their passions. They loved their lives in Austin, Texas, never imagining they would ever leave their beloved state and careers… then they were introduced to Oregon Pinot Noir and a 2nd trip to the Willamette Valley in March, 2012 and specifically to the Southern part of the Dundee Hills where “the clear expression of these Oregon wines were unmistakable and the quality reminded us of those French wines we loved” and the rest is history! Conveniently, they saw a small farm for sale and the dream became a reality. Their full story can be found on their website, but better yet, come out and meet these truly lovely people and hear for yourselves, how their vision, love of food, wine and hospitality coupled with several very unique opportunities has become a destination location for lodging, superior wine and homemade, mouthwatering breakfasts to locals and worldwide travelers alike.
