Set within Oregon’s Dundee Hills, Archery Summit is one of the Willamette Valley’s established Pinot Noir producers. While its 1990s French-inspired winery and tasting room have long occupied a prominent position within the vineyard landscape, the arrival experience offered little connection to the surrounding setting.
In collaboration with Heliotrope Architects, Ground Workshop reimagined the winery’s arrival as a sequence of carefully composed landscape spaces that guide visitors from entry to tasting, opening the experience to the vineyards and distant hills beyond. A new entry court establishes a welcoming threshold, while an outdoor tasting terrace extends the architecture into the landscape, creating opportunities for gathering, contemplation, and connection to the surrounding wine country.
A restrained palette of concrete, metal, crushed stone, and planting introduces a contemporary counterpoint to the existing architecture. Through deliberate composition, material restraint, and thoughtful detailing, the landscape establishes a distinct identity while allowing the vineyards and expansive views of the Willamette Valley to remain the focus.
