Our story began in 1978 when owner Dan Smith planted a vineyard on a rolling hillside in Crow, Oregon. After a hard day of work he looked out over the vineyard and noticed the curious shape of the land - and he christened the vineyard Sweet Cheeks. At this point starting a winery was only a dream. He continued to farm the land, supplying Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Riesling grapes to local wineries.
When a building in Junction City came up for demolition in 2003, Dan took a chance and relocated it atop the vineyard. Thanksgiving of 2005 those doors opened as our tasting room and marked the beginning of Sweet Cheeks Winery & Vineyard. We invite you to experience our beautiful winery, nestled among the green rolling hills at the top of Briggs Hill Road - looking out over the vineyard and valley below.
