Four friends from Colorado found the Willamette Valley, fell in love with the land and the community, and began a journey to fulfill a dream.
The idea for establishing Quandary Vineyards came as we married our love of the area with our love of great wines. And our appreciation for Oregon’s beauty inspired us to create a new destination where friends and family can find what we’ve found in the Willamette Valley.
Welcome to Quandary Vineyards.
We started preparing the land for planting the vineyard. And we began planning a new house and a renovation of the existing house.
As with any big project, first steps are critical. We are grateful to have found an amazing vineyard management partner, Results Partners. This transformation was only possible with their guidance and skills. They’ve made the journey both smooth and fun.
We’ve come a long way, from planting our first vines to multiple harvests and a recent vineyard expansion.
From the beginning, the house and the land had great bones and that’s what we fell in love with.
From the first time we saw the area, we imagined what we could do. To create a destination where whole families could come, relax and find the peace and quiet we had discovered. Quandary Vineyards is the fulfillment of a dream that started with the vision we had and the hard work of those who came before us.
It’s exciting to see how far we’ve come. The previous owners themselves described the home (now the Gables) as their dream home. Looking out over the views, we can understand why.
Renovating the house and building a new one became the next mission, as we considered what it would mean to stay on Quandary.
The original family home, with 360-degree breathtaking views, provided the inspiration for design of The Gables and also led us to fashion The Farmhouse in the same manner.
The concept of expansive high-peaked decks came from our love of the view and a desire to share it with every guest. We’re blessed to connect with an amazing construction partner, MD Haney & Co. Their vision and love of architecture helped create a masterpiece of a house. Together, we kept the legacy of the building while modernizing it for today’s lifestyles.
Today, you can sit on the deck of either house at dusk and dawn and look out over the valley, enjoying the breeze and the sun.
We adopted the dream of the original owners and made it our own.
