A small estate winery on Worden Hill in the Dundee Hills, founded by winemaker Jared Etzel with his wife Erica and brother-in-law Eugene Labunsky. Etzel grew up at Beaux Frères, which his father Mike co-founded, and previously made wine at Domaine Roy & Fils before selling it. He purchased the Rodeo Hills property in 2016, planted the vineyard, and opened the tasting room in 2023. The estate covers roughly six and a half acres producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, made with the stated intent of standing alongside the world’s finest.

Two experiences are offered, both by appointment. The Rodeo Hills Tasting begins with a winemaker-guided vineyard walk followed by a curated tasting, with the fee waived on a bottle purchase per person. The Long Lunch is a seasonal, multi-course meal paired with the wines, hosted by Etzel alongside chef Griffin Taylor, and likewise opens with a vineyard walk. The tasting room is a modern bungalow overlooking Pear Vineyard and the surrounding hillsides.
