From Fields to Vines
​​
When the winery first opened, Faith Hope and Charity’s winemakers utilized grapes from Monkey Face Vineyards near Smith Rock in Terrebonne, while they patiently waited for their vines to mature. Taking into consideration the short growing season and often dramatic temperature drops of the high desert, the vineyard owners decided to focus on the growth of cold-hardy grapes which could withstand frost and have a shorter growing season.
In September of 2015, the first block of Marquette was harvested, a hybrid grape that is said to be the cousin of Frontenac and the grandson of Pinot Noir. Because of the extensive research of cold-hardy grapes done by Cornell and the University of Minnesota, successful grape growing can be made possible in areas with unpredictable weather.
2016 brought another successful harvest. Once a dream that grapes grown in Central Oregon could be made into fine wine, is now a reality. Future plans for the vineyard include an on-premise winery production, guest cottages, an amphitheater, and a farm-to-table garden. Faith, Hope, and Charity Vineyards will always stand by the belief in sustainable and natural farming practices, to continue to provide guests with the highest quality product.

Sustainability & Environmental Stewardship
At Faith Hope & Charity Vineyards, sustainability and environmental stewardship are at the heart of our winemaking process. While we are not fully organic, we are deeply committed to responsible and eco-friendly farming practices. Our grapes are grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides, ensuring that our methods support the health of the environment while producing the highest quality fruit. This approach not only reflects our respect for the land but also enhances the natural flavors and integrity of the wines we craft.
​
By prioritizing sustainable practices, we aim to create wines that you can feel good about enjoying. From the vineyard to the glass, every step is taken with care for our surrounding ecosystem and a dedication to preserving the beauty of Central Oregon for generations to come. This philosophy allows us to deliver exceptional wines while staying true to our values of environmental responsibility and mindful production.
Giving Back
Faith Hope & Charity Vineyards is deeply committed to giving back to the community that supports us. One way we do this is by partnering with local youth sports teams through a unique and impactful initiative. When teams volunteer to help in the vineyards, we pay the same rate we would for employees for each participant. These earnings are then donated directly to the team, providing valuable funding for equipment, travel, and other essential needs. At Faith Hope & Charity, we believe in creating connections that go beyond our wines, building strong relationships with the people and organizations that make our community thrive.
