Our winery and estate vineyard are located on a quiet, secluded hillside 15 miles west of Eugene. The property features a tasting room decorated in a comfortable old world style, with terraced lawns and gardens, and a labyrinth. The winery produces Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, Dry Rose of Gamay, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Dry Riesling. We also produce a Columbia Valley flight of wines that include Chardonnay, Viognier, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and bordeaux style blends. A clubroom, located in Eugene's historic 5th Street Public Market enables us to create gourmet cuisine to pair with our award winning wines. Accounts of the brothers' arrival in the American colonies are contradictory, but they do support the general storyline. I found an interesting submission that discusses this subject, apparently written in 1923, so this oral family tradition is not a recent development. This source suggests that Jean LeaValle arrived on 20 Sep 1700 on the ship Peter and Anthony, under the command of a Captain Daniel Perreau with a group of French refugees. Other sources suggest that he was accompanied by his brother Edward and that they traveled with a group of English colonists who were resettling to the American colonies and arrived in Virginia about 1715. It's probably impossible to know the absolute truth, but it seems likely that the first Leavells in the United States were these two men, that they may have been Huguenots, and that they arrived in Virginia in the early 1700's.
