The Revana Vineyard is located in the Dundee Hills appellation of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Located a mere 28 miles southwest of Portland and 40 miles east of the Pacific Ocean, Dundee Hills is famed for its Pinot Noir. This unique appellation is marked by distinct geographic elements that effectively insulate this region from the dramatic weather variations experienced in other nearby growing areas. In the north, the Chehelam Mountains block much of the cool weather that passes through the Colombia Gorge. To the west, heavy rainstorms from the Pacific Ocean decrease in precipitation as they pass over the Coast Range, providing Dundee Hills with just 30-45 inches annually, largely during the winter. Sufficiently distant from the Van Duzer corridor to the south, the Dundee Hills experiences little cold from Pacific currents that travel up the passage. Topography is defined by ridges that run north and south, with small valleys on the east, south and west sides. Because of their slope and elevation, vineyards in the Dundee Hills benefit from warmer nights and less frost and fog than the adjacent valley floors
