Idiot’s Grace is a farm and winery in Mosier, Oregon, established in 2002. From the beginning, our project has been to make original, American wines that express the character of the the Columbia River Gorge, particularly our hillside in Mosier. This is an ongoing, experimental, and labor intensive effort which yields a small number of bottles every year.

The heart of our work happens in the field, where we manage for biodiversity and resilience, 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 gained in our time here; each bottle is meant to be enjoyed with a good meal. The farm is certified organic.
