Lelo and Bob Kerivan first started shaking up the Oregon wine industry in 1986, when they converted a 75-acre field in Southern Oregon's Illinois Valley to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris grapes.
Winemaker René Eichmann crafts wines using a mixture of French (90%) and American (10%) oak barrels for award winning Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Merlot. Visitors to Bridgeview Winery can taste an array of fine wines and picnic on the estate, while enjoying views of landscaped gardens and pristine lakes.
Many visitors opt to overnight at Bridgeview's own bed-and-breakfast lodge, the Kerbyville Inn, with five wine-themed suites.
