Great Northwest Wine Magazine has selected Iris Vineyards in the Willamette Valley as the 2024 Oregon Winery of the Year.

Aaron Lieberman’s craftsmanship with Pamela Frye’s Chalice Estate Vineyard led to a string of awards last year, and his creativity with the wine-based cocktails adds to the appeal of their young wine bar in downtown Springfield.

Our profile of Iris Vineyards will appear in the Spring 2024 issue of Great Northwest Wine Magazine, scheduled to reach subscribers in early April.
