Helvetia Vineyards and Winery is located in the foothills of the Tualatin Mountains, the northernmost grape growing area in the Willamette Valley. The vineyards are located just above the Tualatin Valley floor between 450' and 650' elevation. Cascade and Helvetia soil types predominate. The Cascade soils consist of sedimentary soils deposited in the Valley by the Missoula Floods about 15,000 years ago.
The Helvetia soil types consist of weathered soils deposited by the Cascade eruptions about 15 million years ago. The area was originally occupied by the Atfalatis, Northern Kalapuya people who practiced pyroculture whereby the fertile lands of the valley provided a rich source of acorns, hazelnuts and berries while the foothills served as summer campgrounds and hunting areas.

Let’s Talk
Report
Saturday marks the first day of spring and we're celebrating with music of the Celtic variety this Saturday. As the season of renewal begins, we would also like to know your opinion on what we're doing right (or wrong) and how we can improve our offerings during the upcoming season. Elias led us in song last Sunday for our annual St. Patrick's Day luncheon and kept us in tune with his fiddle and bagpipes.
