Century Old Farm
Buchanan Family Century Farm was founded over 130 years ago in the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley. Dave and Margy Buchanan planted wine grapes in 1974 and founded Tyee Wine Cellars in 1985 along with raising sheep and planting hazelnuts. Today the family farm is operated cooperatively by fourth and fifth generation family farmers. The farm remains a diverse operation, with an estate vineyard and winery, tasting parlor and historic barn events facility, hiking trails and picnic tables, hazelnut orchards, cathedral oak trees and Willamette Valley native woodlands and wetlands.
