We are honored to share that the May 2021 issue of Oregon Wine Press features The Outlook at Knudsen Vineyards on the cover and highlights the Knudsen family legacy in the Dundee Hills.
The Road Home: Continuing a Family Legacy
The cover story, “The Road Home”, chronicles the Knudsen siblings’ return to continue the work begun by their parents, Cal and Julia Lee Knudsen.
The story reflects on the family’s role in the early development of Oregon wine, their enduring connection to the vineyard, and the decision of the second generation to return home and carry that history forward.
“There’s no doubt that for this family that’s played an important role in the history of the wine industry, the return home has been a sweet one.”
— Sophia McDonald, “The Road Home,” Oregon Wine Press, May 2021
For more than five decades, Knudsen Vineyards has remained rooted in the Dundee Hills. Today, the second generation continues to steward the estate, honoring the vision of its founders while shaping the next chapter of the vineyard and winery.
The Knudsen family legacy is closely tied to the history of the Dundee Hills and the growth of Oregon’s wine industry, making this feature a meaningful reflection on both where we began and where we are headed.
