Visits to Lonesome Rock are private, owner-led, and offered by appointment at their vineyard tasting house in Carlton, Oregon.

Each tasting is an unhurried exploration of the wines and the vineyard that shapes them, guided personally by the people behind the farming and winemaking.

Set at the extreme northwestern edge of the Willamette Valley, Lonesome Rock Cellars is a singular, organically farmed estate vineyard in the rugged hills west of Carlton, Oregon. Sitting high above the valley floor, the site is defined by fractured volcanic soils, steady coastal winds, and a long growing season that shapes fruit of clarity and tension. Farming decisions are guided by the vineyard itself, with an emphasis on balance, resilience, and longevity.

Sustainability isn’t an add-on — it’s how Danny and Susan Klieman care for the land they call home. Certified LIVE (Low Input Viticulture & Enology), the vineyard practices prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and balanced ecosystems. From cover crops to insectaries, water-smart decisions to minimal-input farming, each choice reflects their commitment to vineyard resilience, environmental balance, and long-term quality.
