1. Tell us about your Winery?
The old Bob Woolever’s Tire Shop
was vacant and abandoned, looking like a scar in the downtown “Funk Zone.”
Christian Garvin swung by one night on the way to dinner and thought the space
looked mighty enticing. The tire
shop had some great winemaking attributes including lots of electric power,
concrete floors and a brick structure that is ideal for climate control and
barrel storage.
Nearly eight years later, the
winery is known for two things – great wines and fabulous parties. From small batches of Pinot Noir to our sizable Red Table Wine, Oreana has a wine for everyone. Current production is about 10,000
cases.
Stop by for wine tasting, wine by
the glass, and music on the patio on the weekends! Bring your friends and
family and have a good time!
2. What makes your Winery
unique/different?
Where to begin… We are never too busy to have a good time and all that time spent listening to the grape press and waiting for wine to age gives us lots of opportunities to come up with weird ideas for parties. Previous celebrations have included: Cinema in the Cellar featuring Jaws & King Kong, an Evening of Sea Shanty talent show, The Beaver Moon Harvest Party, the annual RocktoberFest concert series, Wieners & Wine Hot Dog extravaganza, and one time a guy just played the bagpipes. It was standing room only…

3. How have you taken initiative
to become a greener business?
Stating the obvious first, we recycle all corks and bottles as we pour through them. Also, we use empty bottles and corks for new products. In our tasting room we sell cork boards and candles that are made out of our wine bottles. On sunny days, we keep the big doors open for light to save electricity.

4. What is your best selling Grapeseed product?
The Surf Body Lotion 4oz. is our best selling Grapeseed product. It is a great scent for men and women. The 4oz. bottle is perfect for traveling and we see a lot of out-of-towners in our tasting room. The lotion works well and makes skin feel moisturized and soft.

My favorite Grapeseed product is the seasonal lip balm. It comes in great flavors and is very soothing for chapped lips. I especially like the sunshine day scent, however, all of them are delightful.
