On a shoe string budget, armed with a passion for making elegant, earthy and intriguing wines, Craig & Claudia clung to the "back to the country" ethos of the 1970's and headed to Oregon.
Family
Broadley Vineyards is a family owned and operated winery & vineyard. Craig and Claudia founded the business in 1981 and began planting the estate vineyard when their son Morgan was 11 years old. Morgan and his wife Jessica are now the second generation at Broadley Vineyards.
A little History
Craig & Claudia moved to Oregon from California in the 1970's with a dream to plant their own vineyard and a zeal to make exceptional Pinot Noir. They found the perfect North East facing slope and called Monroe, Oregon their vineyards home. The fabled 1994 'Claudia's Choice' Pinot Noir received 97pts from the Wine Spectator and for several decades remained the highest scoring Pinot Noir ever produced in Oregon. This review put Broadley Vineyards on the map and today our loyal Broadley followers clamor for our expression of each new vintage of the Claudia’s Choice Pinot Noir.
Morgan Broadley
Morgan is our principal wine maker & vineyard manager. Morgan's farming practices are meticulous. He truly believes the wine is first made in the vineyard. If you ever get a chance to visit the private estate, it will be evident how much he loves his work there.
Jessica Broadley
Jessica joins the family business managing operations, including direct sales, working closely with our social media, web site, club program, manages our events hosted at the Broadley winery & tasting room/patio.
