Idiot’s Grace is a farm and winery in Mosier, Oregon, established in 2002. The aim of our work is to determine the ideal material conditions (e.g: vine genes, ecology, farm & cellar know-how) for the making of original, American wines that express the specific character of the Columbia Gorge, particularly our hillside in Mosier.

Our operation is small by the standards of commercial agriculture, but large for a diversified, organic experiment in de-industrial farming. We have a small team —the winemakers work the field as well as the cellar— and our work is done by hand. We manage for resilience over the long term, anticipating that this project will outlast those who conceived it. The work is now in its third decade and third generation of our family.

Each wine is the wild-fermented, singular expression of the land, the climate, and the know-how of the farmers and winemakers; each wine is meant to be enjoyed with a good meal. Idiot’s Grace farm is certified organic.
