TOP 10 VINEYARD INN – AWARD
The Lobenhaus Bed and Breakfast has been selected as one of the Top 10 Vineyard Inns by Bed and Breakfast.com
Here is the quote from the directory website:
Lessons from a Viticulturist
“Take an exciting getaway to the center of Oregon’s wine country. This lodge-style inn sits on 27 acres of vineyards, woods, and a creek. When you have downtime, unwind on the expansive decks overlooking the inn’s eight acres of vineyards. Guests get a free vineyard tour with the resident viticulturist, who can teach you how the grapes are grown and the importance of soils. If you visit during the summer, you can taste the grapes as they are maturing. Their certified-sustainable vineyard grows Pommard clones of Pinot Gris, White Riesling, Müller-Thurgau and Pinot Noir. Wine tasting at Rex Hill, the winery that purchases the Lobenhaus grapes, is a free amenity all guests can enjoy. Guests also receive tasting certificates to select wineries.”
