Dacha Wine Tasting

  • The Broadway Wine Merchants 17 OAKWAY CTR EUGENE (map)

Join us Thursday, July 13 from 5-7 pm for a free tasting of Dacha Wines. Dacha Wines is best known for: Minimal intervention winemaking and organic farming that is truly “hands-on. Winemaker Isabel Newlin will be with us and her Dacha Wines project is impossible to resist.

Throughout Eastern Europe, Dacha means ‘summer house.’ Practically, dachas are an escape from the city.

Isabel Newlin invites us into her home of Oregon wines. Trained in Burgundy, Isabel works with small lot vineyards in the Willamette and Umpqua Valley.

At a young age, Isabel traveled and lived one year in France with her family. A daughter of an academic, Isabel’s curiosity to learn lead her back to France on several occasions. She earned her Oenology and Viticulture degree in Beaune and got to learn hands on with Domaine Guillot-Broux. After working in wine retail and distribution in New York, Isabel escaped from the city to create Dacha in 2019 in Corvallis. Today you will find her working in small lot vineyards, in the cellar, delivering wine, and designing her labels. Isabel does it all, herself!
