Sweet Cheeks is the living embodiment of Dan Smith, a commercial refrigeration guy who took a daring leap of faith, planting his first vines on a rolling hillside just west of Eugene in the 1980s. As he farmed the land, his dream grew into Sweet Cheeks Winery & Vineyard. Today, the legacy continues as our family captures Dan’s DIY spirit, relentless curiosity, and passion for creating memorable experiences in every bottle.
Uncork easygoing elegance with each bottle, crafted with grapes from our estate and select partner vineyards in Eugene and Oregon’s lush wine country.
From layered, expressive Pinot Noirs to robust, full-bodied varietals like Tempranillo, and everything in between.
Bursting with bright aromatics and lively palates, each bottle is an experience waiting to happen.
