Lingua Franca
About the winery
Lingua Franca — a universal language that brings people together from diverse backgrounds. This is the philosophy that inspires us to produce exceptional wines in the Eola-Amity Hills. Prepare to elevate everything you thought you knew about Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as our wines take you to a place where the land, the vine, and a touch of mastery meet — each vintage a uniquely nuanced delight for the senses. We’ll take you through our critically-acclaimed wines and share the stories that inspired Larry, Master Sommelier, to plant our special 66-acre vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills and to partner with two Burgundian masters of the art of winemaking, Thomas Savre and Dominique Lafon, to create Lingua Franca. We host tastings Thursdays – Mondays from 11:00 am to 3:30 pm. We are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. 75 minutes | 6 guests maximum | Hosted at our Winery outside of Salem, OR. Please contact us at hospitality@linguafranca.wine for assistance making a reservation.
