Over 35 years ago, the Gerber family began planting their first vineyard on the terrace of the Siskiyou Mountains. Only 7 miles within the Oregon border, Foris is the southern-most vineyard in the Pacific Northwest. As one of the state’s grape growing pioneers, the Gerber family recognized the potential to grow high quality, premium vinifera grapes in the higher elevations of the region. Foris Vineyards Winery was established in 1986.
