In June of 2023, Cathy and Arlan Mendell purchased the historic and highly acclaimed Carpenter Hill Estate and Vineyard, fulfilling a lifelong dream to own their own vineyard.

Nestled in the heart of Oregon’s Rogue Valley, Ravissant Cellars was founded with a vision: to craft world-class wines that celebrate the artistry of winemaking. Since 1998, Carpenter Hill Vineyard has grown into an iconic name, recognized for craftsmanship and innovation. Rooted in exploration, community, and a deep respect for the land, we remain dedicated to producing wines that embody the Ravissant way.
