Dion Vineyard Overview
Explore the enduring legacy of Dion Vineyard, a cherished family-owned gem nestled in the heart of Oregon's vibrant wine country since 1973.
History and Background
Dion Vineyard began its journey over four decades ago when Ron & Joanne Johnson, alongside Ron’s father, Al, and their young son, Kevin, planted the first Pinot Noir vines on a 5-acre piece of land. Al brought his viticulture knowledge from Yakima Valley, guiding the family through the early stages of what would become a renowned vineyard. The presence of their golden retriever added a familial touch to the founding team, epitomizing the home-grown charm of Dion Vineyard.
