Lumos Wine Company started with Dai and PK in 2000 and has aged into a home-grown team of people all dedicated to hard work and good wine. Dai grows all of the grapes used in our wines in USDA/Oregon certified organic vineyards. This philosophy of using a natural approach with minimal intervention also drives the winemaking, the result being a selection of honest and beautiful award-winning wines.

The Lumos tasting room is located on our historic family farm in Wren, OR – just 16 miles west of Corvallis and forty miles east of the coast. Housed in the big ol’ barn on what is left of the H bar H Dude Ranch which flourished in the 1940’s, the tasting room sits atop the vineyard and provides a view of the Oregon coast range and Marys Peak that is unique to the valley. One of the original guest cabins still stands above the vineyard and serves as a cozy, rustic overnight rental. We invite you to visit us and learn more about our farm and winery and our colorful local history.

Current Vintage Highlights
2021 Temperance Hill Pinot Noir ~ Plush, limpid, and subtle all at once, aromas of cinnamon, marionberry, and forest air lift off this wine with sinuous ease. All these elements intermingle on the palette with flavors of cranberry, cherry, and amaro. Still young, the tannins have the sense of a scaffold encasing an architecture that, despite not yet being fully formed, already emanates dignity and complexity. — Boone McCoy-Crisp, Oct 2023
TexSom – Judges’ Selection and Best of Show Varietal – Pinot Noir | $52 | Purchase in Online Store
2019 Pumphouse Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir ~ Dai Crisp and winemaker Julia Cattrall produce elegant wines in a reductive style: Like many of their Temperance Hill bottlings, this one reflects a structural grandeur well before the wine’s elements are fully unfurled. It takes a day for the fruit to eke through in cherry-cranberry brightness, juicy and crisp, in the end, reserved. For the cellar. —P.J.C. April ’22

2019 North Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir ~ North is one of Temperance Hill’s high-elevation parcels, an exposed site rising to 850 feet, yielding a wine of exceptional tension and firm structure. It starts off opaque, with dusty scents of strawberry leather and tobacco leaf. After a day, the flavors become sleek and elegant; there’s surprising concentration to the plum and strawberry fruit, with an herbal savor and earthy plum-skin tannins. It’s got the stuff to cellar. -P.J.C. April ’22

2018 Eola-Amity Hills Double Barrel Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir ~ This wine is pleasingly savory and coniferous, an evocation of the Pacific Northwest and the Van Duzer winds. The fir, pine and cedar notes prop up delicate red-berry fruit and, for the moment, this wine is about tension and energy. Its lively, mouth-filling acidity seems to ensure a long life. -P.J.C. April ’22

Great Wines Start In The Vineyard
Temperance Hill, managed by Dai Crisp since 1999, is a 100-acre vineyard located in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA in the northern Willamette Valley. Owned by the Koo family, this second-generation vineyard was first planted in 1981 on basalt-based volcanic soil. The vineyard is primarily made up of Pinot Noir, with a few acres of Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris. With an elevation range of 660 to 860 feet, Temperance Hill is a cool site, providing excellent growing conditions for Pinot Noir. Learn More.

Logsdon Ridge Vineyard
Owned by the Rudolph family and known to our team as Rudolfo, this small 10-acre vineyard is planted entirely to Pinot Gris and has been farmed by Dai and his team since 2000. Located just north of Corvallis, it is a warm, low elevation site that ripens very early. Its crop level over the last three years has been around 2.7 tons to the acre. The vineyard supplies 6 clients, all making beautiful Pinot Gris.
Wren Vineyard
Our home site, originally planted in 1985 by Dai and his folks, has grown to 15 acres and is planted in Pommard Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Dijon clone Chardonnay. Elevation is 300 – 500 feet and even with direct south facing exposure, it is an extremely cool site prone to frost. An overhead frost protection system makes it possible to farm wine grapes here and when we do see a crop through the entire season without any frost these grapes make a most stunning wine.
