Free - but reserve your 30-minute tasting slot.

There are two kinds of people in the world. Folks who have met Stephen Hagen and are huge fans of him and his wines. And everyone else. The first group is more fun, and who doesn’t need more fun in their life these days? So reserve one of our 30-minute tasting slots on Thursday, August 8, and come enjoy tasting Antiquum Farm wines as owner Stephen Hagen reveals the secrets of the most insane way to grow wine we’ve ever seen or heard of: Grazing Based Viticulture.

What happens when you abandon your attempt to become a Hollywood star, come back to the family home in Oregon, plant Pinot, and then turn lose sheep, chickens, geese, goats and – most dramatically – Kune Kune pigs on your vineyard? Turns out your Pinot goes a little bonkers and suddenly you’re making wine that doesn’t taste like anything else in the Willamette Valley. Heck, in the world.

That’s Stephen’s story and he tells it much better than we do. Come meet him, get a crick in your neck from looking up at his face (he’s really tall), and taste some killer wines. We’ll be pouring:

  • Antiquum Farm Pinot Gris Daisy 2023
  • Antiquum Farm Pinot Gris Alium 2023
  • Antiquum Farm Pinot Gris Romato Aurosa 2023
  • Antiquum Farm Pinot Noir Willamette Valley Juel 2022
  • Antiquum Farm Pinot Noir Willamette Valley Passiflora 2022

You’ll love meeting Stephen, adore the wines, and very much appreciate the aggressive mix/match savings. As usual there’s no charge for our Producer Spotlight tastings held upstairs around the tasting table, but we do ask that you reserve one of the five 30 minute sessions from 5:00pm to 7:30pm so we can make sure everyone has plenty of time to enjoy and appreciate the wines. So round up a gang of fellow Willamette Valley wine fans and reserve your spots at any of the 30 minute tasting slots from 5 to 7:30pm on Thursday, August 8.
