Willamette Winemaker MasterClass with Antiquum Farm's Stephen Hagen
Join us for a deep dive into one of the Willamette Valley’s most fascinating wineries with Antiquum Farm Winemaker and Farmer Stephen Hagen.
Stephen joined us a couple of years ago for one of our favorite MasterClasses, and we’re thrilled to welcome him back. His wines are incredible—but what makes Antiquum Farm truly special is the radically thoughtful approach behind them.
Stephen is the pioneer of Grazing-Based Viticulture, a farming philosophy developed at Antiquum that treats the vineyard as a living ecosystem rather than simply a collection of vines. Sheep, chickens, geese, pigs, cover crops, soil, and vines all play a role in the farm’s interconnected system. Rather than relying on fertilizers, compost, or feeds, Antiquum seeks to build a thriving biological ecosystem within the vineyard and allow the site itself to speak as clearly as possible.
The result? Some of the most distinctive wines coming out of Oregon today.
For this special evening, Stephen will take us deep into the Willamette Valley, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and—especially—Pinot Gris, exploring how farming, soil biology, site, and cellar decisions shape the character of each wine. Antiquum approaches Pinot Gris with the same seriousness as Pinot Noir, demonstrating just how profound and terroir-driven the variety can be.
If you’re geeky about the Willamette Valley, passionate about sustainable farming, or simply love serious Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir, you absolutely do not want to miss this one. Expect a deep dive, some seriously compelling wines, and a conversation with one of Oregon’s most original thinkers.
