Grace and her late husband, Ken, founded Domaine Serene in Oregon’s Dundee Hills in 1989 with an ambitious vision to produce world-class Pinot Noir. Today, Domaine Serene encompasses seven vineyard estates and is renowned for exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, helping establish Oregon among the world’s premier w**e regions.
Grace has continued to build upon that extraordinary legacy, expanding Evenstad Estates internationally with the acquisition of Château de la Crée in Burgundy’s Côte d’Or and, later, Domaine Christian Confuron et Fils, adding prestigious vineyard holdings that include Grand Cru parcels in Bonnes Mares and Clos de Vougeot.
We look forward to welcoming Grace back and celebrating her commitment to excellence.
