Flâneur began with the idea that winemaking doesn’t need frills. Driven to Oregon’s culture, land, and people, Flâneur shares their appreciation of nature and the beauty it can bring to wine, understanding all complex aspects that go into each vine and grape. Flâneur reflects the attention to detail needed to showcase terroir-driven Oregon wines all while maintaining a welcoming space that guests can feel right at home.
At Flâneur, fruit speaks for itself and reflects Oregon’s extraordinary terroir. The estate practices organic and sustainable farming to grow delicious grapes that celebrate their unique environment. All vineyards are dry-farmed, meaning no irrigation, so that the grapes have to work harder, which in turn, creates a more intense flavor and aroma profile in the wines.
Flâneur’s vineyard management team spends countless hours out on the grounds every day to ensure that each vine is properly tended and receives the care that it needs. During harvest, each grape cluster is picked by hand and carefully assessed during sorting. The final wines are complex, hauntingly aromatic, and show an extremely specific sense of place.
