Hanson Vineyards

Sam came and greeted us when we got out of our car. Big ol’ white dog and adorable as can be. Speaking of adorable, what a sweet spot this little winery is. Out in the boonies a little bit, and you almost could miss it if it wasn’t for the big flag that says open right outside their red barn building.
We followed the dog to the small door with the wooden sign that said open, walked in to a little cool room and sat at their very small wine tasting area. That’s ok because the wine itself had some big flavors. We tasted about 6 of them, from their chardonnay, to the pinot gris and then a couple of different pinot noirs. All had some medals behind them as well. We ended up buying one of the older pinots. The gentleman serving could not have been nicer and very helpful in his introductions of his wines.
We headed on out and this dear woman was coming out of the lovely old house next door with some sort of meal for her husband (we are assuming) that just served us our wine. We asked if she knew of any places nearby for a meal and she pointed us off to Silverton. A great day for discovering new places so off we went.
