Local Business Spotlight: Scariano Wines
One of the best parts of what we do at Pure Energy Group is getting to work with local farms and businesses. Whether it's a family farm, a nursery, or a local winery, every project gives us a glimpse into the passion and purpose behind the people who own them. We believe every business has a story worth sharing, which is why we're spotlighting a local winery right here in the Willamette Valley.
Nestled between the hills of Albany and Corvallis at 800 feet in elevation is Scariano Wines. We spoke with owner Chris Scariano to learn more about the passion and vision behind Scariano Wines. Chris shared that "Scariano Wines has been a dream in the making since 2004." That year, he and his family purchased the property and built their first home. The neighboring 45-acre field, originally a grass seed field owned by a farmer, took Chris 13 years of persistently asking to purchase the land to fulfill his dream.
That dream finally came true in 2017. The owner agreed to a deal, and Scariano Wines officially began.
When we asked Chris what makes Scariano Wines unique, his answer was simple: "It's all local! One hundred percent of the fruit comes from the acreage on the property." According to the winery's website, the vines are grown in "a diverse geology of Willakenzie loam and marine sedimentary soils," while the property's unique microclimate, cooled by northwesterly winds throughout the growing season, helps produce exceptional fruit.
If you're looking for a true farm-to-table winery experience, Scariano Wines is well worth the visit.
If you've never been to Scariano Wines, you can expect three things: stunning views, a relaxed atmosphere, and unique experiences that bring people together. And, of course, exceptional wine. Chris recommends starting with a glass of Chardonnay before enjoying one of their smooth Pinot Noirs. Even if wine isn't your thing, you'll find plenty to enjoy, from the scenery to spending time with friends and family.
