01The LEED Gold Story
First LEED Gold-Certified Winery
In The World, 2006.
Stoller Family Estate became the first winery in the world to earn LEED Gold certification in 2006, awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council across the production facility, the tasting room, and the office buildings. The certification recognizes energy efficiency, water conservation, materials sourcing, and indoor environmental quality standards. The buildings use solar power, rainwater capture for irrigation, and locally sourced materials. The certification process took roughly two years of design review, on-site verification, and post-construction monitoring before the Gold tier confirmation.
The LEED Gold milestone reflects Bill Stoller's commitment to sustainability across the family farmland. Stoller has continued the investment with subsequent solar-array expansions and biological pest management programs across the 220-acre vineyard. The buildings remain a working production facility rather than a showcase build, with the sustainability features integrated into the daily winery operations. For other Dundee Hills sustainability anchors, see the Sokol Blosser chauffeur guide (B Corp certified). Public reference at stollerwinegroup.com.
LEED Gold across all buildings
Production facility, tasting room, and office buildings all certified LEED Gold in 2006. The buildings use solar power, rainwater capture for irrigation, and locally sourced materials throughout the construction.
First winery in the world
The U.S. Green Building Council awarded the certification to Stoller as the first winery globally to receive LEED Gold. The milestone established a sustainability benchmark that other Dundee Hills estates have followed.
Solar array and rainwater capture
Solar arrays on the production facility cover a portion of the energy load. Rainwater capture from the building roofs feeds the irrigation system. Subsequent solar expansions have increased the on-site renewable energy footprint.
Biological pest management
The 220-acre vineyard uses biological pest management instead of synthetic pesticides. Native plant cover-cropping, beneficial insect releases, and integrated farming practices replace chemical alternatives across the working vineyard.
02The 373-Acre Property
Largest Contiguous Vineyard
In The Dundee Hills AVA.
The Stoller property at 16161 NE McDougall Rd covers 373 acres on the south-facing slopes of the Dundee Hills ridge. About 220 acres are planted to vines, making Stoller the largest contiguous vineyard in the Dundee Hills AVA by planted footprint. Pinot Noir covers about 75 percent of the planting, Chardonnay about 20 percent, and a small Riesling block rounds out the program. The contiguous footprint allows the vineyard team to manage farming practices across the property as a single working unit rather than across fragmented blocks.
The remaining 153 acres include the LEED Gold-certified production facility, the tasting room and office buildings, the visitor lot, and natural habitat zones for the biological pest management program. The vineyard sits at elevations from 200 to 700 feet on red Jory volcanic basalt soil. The 500-foot elevation range gives the vineyard team a working spread of microclimates within a single contiguous parcel. For comparison context across the broader Dundee Hills, see the Best Wineries Dundee Oregon listicle.
220 acres planted
220 acres planted out of the 373-acre property. Pinot Noir covers about 75 percent, Chardonnay 20 percent, and a small Riesling block rounds out the planting. Largest contiguous Dundee Hills vineyard.
Red Jory volcanic basalt soil
The vineyard sits on red Jory volcanic basalt soil, the signature soil series of the Dundee Hills AVA. Jory holds water through the summer dry-down and gives Pinot Noir the silky texture and bright red-fruit profile of the AVA.
200 to 700 feet elevation
The property sits at elevations from 200 to 700 feet on the south-facing slopes of the Dundee Hills ridge. The 500-foot elevation range stretches the ripening window across the planted footprint.
Habitat zones and biological farming
The remaining 153 acres include natural habitat zones for the biological pest management program and the LEED Gold-certified buildings. The habitat zones support beneficial insect populations.
03The Wine Program
Estate, Reserve,
SV Single-Vineyard Bottlings.
The Stoller wine program runs across three primary tiers. The Estate tier (Stoller Estate Pinot Noir, Stoller Estate Chardonnay) at $40 to $60 per bottle covers the entry pattern with a vineyard-driven character and balanced oak handling. The Reserve tier (Estate Reserve Pinot Noir) at $60 to $90 anchors the mid-tier flagship with longer aging and structured tannin. The SV (single-vineyard) tier covers the cult-tier bottlings at $80 to $150 from specific blocks within the 220-acre vineyard: Cathy's Reserve, JV Estate, Helen Estate.
The single-vineyard program reflects the vineyard's 500-foot elevation range and the variation in soil composition across the 220 acres. Each SV bottling expresses a distinct block within the property and shows the terroir contrast across a single contiguous footprint. The block-level distinction is rare among Oregon Pinot programs because most estates lack the contiguous footprint to express the same level of internal variation. For other Dundee Hills SV programs, see the Domaine Drouhin Oregon chauffeur guide (Laurène, Louise) and the Sokol Blosser chauffeur guide.
Estate tier ($40-$60)
Stoller Estate Pinot Noir and Stoller Estate Chardonnay. The entry tier and the introductory pattern for first-time visitors. Bright red-fruit Pinot, restrained oak, vineyard-driven character.
Reserve tier ($60-$90)
Estate Reserve Pinot Noir as the mid-tier flagship. Selected from the best blocks across the vineyard each vintage. More structured tannin, longer aging, deeper color profile.
SV single-vineyard ($80-$150)
Cathy's Reserve, JV Estate, Helen Estate. Each SV bottling expresses a distinct block within the 220-acre vineyard. The cult-tier program for Pinot collectors building verticals.
Library and aged-vintage
Library bottlings rotate through the tasting program for collectors and trade visitors. Aged-vintage Reserve and SV verticals run on the Library Flight at advance request. The library program rotates through the cellar quarterly with seasonal release windows for older vintages on the wine-club allocation list.
04The Tasting Program

The Reserve Flight adds the SV bottlings (Cathy's Reserve, JV Estate, Helen Estate). The Library Flight adds aged-vintage bottlings on rotating release.

Portland To Dayton,
OR-99W And NE McDougall Rd.

10Who It Fits
Sustainability-Conscious Visitors,
Pinot Collectors, Group Bookings.
Stoller Family Estate visits fit four primary profiles. Sustainability-conscious visitors interested in the LEED Gold-certified buildings and biological pest management approach. Pinot Noir collectors building verticals of the Reserve and SV bottlings across vintages. Group bookings of 8 to 14 on the south-facing patio for milestone celebrations or corporate retreats. Anniversary or family-celebration couples on the Reserve Flight pattern.
The fit that does not hold: a casual walk-in tasting day. Stoller is reservation-recommended with limited walk-in capacity during peak weekends. The Marquee chauffeur math fits when the booking covers a couple, a family group, a multi-couple group, or a multi-estate tour day where the held-vehicle rate carries across the day.
