Welcome to

Discover our family’s vineyard and winery in the heart of the Willamette Valley.
Family-owned and family-farmed, from grape to glass.

We grow the grapes, make the wine, and greet you when you visit

Your visit to our tasting room will be met with sweeping views of our 10-acre vineyard (hand-planted by Joel in 2005) and guided through the wines all made on-site. As a family-owned “do-it-yourself” winery, you will be served and regaled by the very people who grow the grapes and make the wine.
We look forward to meeting you!

Small-lot Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Rosé of Pinot Noir. Made just steps from the edge of our vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA.

Meet the ‘J’ and ‘L’

We’re Joel and Laurie Kiff, the ‘J’ and ‘L’ in J.L. Kiff Vineyard. We started planting our vineyard in 2005 and we made our first wine in 2010: just 130 cases! Now we made about 1,000 cases of wine each year, and we love every step of the process.

Our wine is a reflection of our family: Joel in the vineyard and winery, assisted by our son-in-law, Tyler. Laurie in the tasting room and working on marketing projects with our son, Adam. Adam and our daughter, Erin, penning and painting all the artwork on our wine labels.

A bottle of J.L. Kiff Vineyard wine is more than just wine: it’s the product of our family’s passion.

‘The Call’ is an origin story of J.L. Kiff Vineyard, before Pinot Noir was even on our minds…

“I just saw a piece of property. It’s really pretty, but it’s way bigger and way more expensive than we have been talking about. 80 acres. Do you want to see it when you come up on Thursday?”
