Sass Winery
About the winery
Taste hand-crafted ultrapremium pinot noir, pinot gris, pinot blanc, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and rose right in the barrel room at Sass Winery. Tour and touch the vines 50 feet away and hear how our sustainably farmed, non-irrigated, volcanic-soil vineyard produces wines of elegant, expressive structure that simply couldn’t be made anywhere else. We hope our wines will linger in the heart and enrich the soul just as they linger on the palate. The finest wines are a labor of love, passion and vision bringing pure joy!
What makes it different
- Sass Winery's labels go back further than any other winery in Salem, to 1999.
- Sass Winery's founder, a former newspaper editor, purchased a grass seed farm in 1989 to become his future estate vineyard and winery.(from the winery)
