Mark, Terri, Amelia, and Adeline left the hustle and bustle of the Twin Cities, MN to start their lives as farmers in beautiful Southern Oregon. With 6 acres of wine grapes, nearly an acre of lavender, about 100 table grape vines, and over 150 fruit trees, their farm is always full of life! Dos Mariposas, affectionately named after the owners’ two young daughters, translates to “Two Butterflies”. This tasting room is family-friendly with a play area for children, indoor and outdoor seating with incredible views of their lavender fields, as well as a charming pond overflowing with wildlife at the center of it all. Sit amongst their beautiful property with a glass of their delicious Pinot Noir and catch a concert during your next visit.
