The Story of the Freed Family Estate

Mike and Pam had visited the Umpqua Valley several times while visiting family. After falling in love with the area, and knowing about the region’s tremendous grape-going potential, they decided on acquiring a plot for growing wine grapes. They finally found the perfect spot in 2000, a 36-acre farm property in Winston Oregon. In the very spring, they cleared 24 acres of the land and planted the first vines of Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Viognier. During the first years of operations, their focus was set on selling quality grapes to local wineries.

Wine Making Practices of the Family

The family decided to changes courses in 2009 and started working on their own winery building. The Freed wine-making process is carried out by individuals that specialize in the art of creating wonderfully unique wines. Through unparalleled attention to detail and the Freed family’s commitment to serving their customers in the most honest fashion, help create their exceptional wines. As a family-owned vineyard in the renowned Umpqua Valley, they strive to allow the local community and guests to not only be able to encounter high-quality wines but to have a winetasting experience that surpasses expectations. Inspired by their roots in Hawaii, the Freed family would like to bring the spirit of Aloha to you in the Umpqua Valley.

Fantastic wine and wonderful hospitality. Had the pleasure of doing a wine tasting with Bryan, and greatly enjoyed the wine and experience here. The hardest part is picking which wines to buy! Highly recommend.

What a delightful winery. Usually there are wines we like and a few we don't. Every wine was good, so that makes it hard to decide what to purchase...Brian Freed the General Manager was a great host and very informative. 5 tastes for $10 or all 9 for $15. Tastes are free if you buy 2 bottles ..but you probably will have a hard time choosing just 2. If you are a member of Harvest Host the camp spots are right along the South Umpqua River. Nice gift shop with local artist crafts.

What a fun evening with 4 harvest host couples. Wine tastings were generous, hosts super friendly and a nice variety of wines. We bought the Tempranillo. They also had crafts & art for sale as well as some nice mustard & fresh eggs of all colors. They allow multiple Harvest Host rigs to park around the vineyard with some nice spots along the river. In summer you can repair to the cook shack on the river and carry on thru the evening. Beautiful spot! We’ll be back!

Pam was great! We came in right before closing and she was kind enough to give us the full tasting. She treated us so well and poured several tastes (more than we get at most places). Wine was delicious and reasonablely priced.
