What does that mean on the ground in Winchester? River-view homes, close-in small acreage, and quick access to both I-5 and the Highway 138 corridor. A favorite for buyers who fish.
Kimmy pairs that community knowledge with deep vineyard expertise. The Umpqua Valley AVA is one of Oregon's oldest and most underrated wine regions — home to pioneering plantings, the Elkton AVA's cool-climate Pinot, and hillsides that grow everything from Tempranillo to Riesling. Kimmy helps buyers find plantable ground and established vineyard estates across the valley.

Yes — it's one of Oregon's oldest AVAs, with the state's first post-Prohibition vinifera plantings, and its warm valleys ripen varieties the Willamette can't. The Elkton sub-AVA produces standout cool-climate Pinot Noir and Riesling.
Plan on roughly $15,000–$30,000+ per acre to establish vines (site prep, plants, trellis, irrigation) before your first real crop in year three or four. Kimmy helps buyers find ground where the site quality justifies the investment.
Oregon land-use law gives wineries meaningful allowances on farm-zoned land, but specifics depend on production and county rules. Kimmy coordinates with Douglas County Planning to confirm what a given property can host.
