A map of every vineyard in Oregon, and the data to understand them. We ran a statewide analysis to find each one, outlined it, and set it against the climate, terrain, and soils that shape it. A portal lets wineries add what only they know, building a database of Oregon vineyards unlike anything that has existed before.
More info
- Finds every vineyard. A machine learning algorithm trained on the fingerprint of a vineyard scans the whole state from above using high-resolution 4-band imagery. The map starts from a complete inventory rather than simply updating old maps.
- Traces the true footprint. Each vineyard is mapped to its actual boundary rather than a dot on a map, and placed within the AVA that surrounds it.
- Adds the ground, climate and soil. Elevation, slope, aspect, long-term climate normals, vintage-by-vintage weather and soil data sit alongside each vineyard, so the conditions it grows in are on the same map as the vineyard itself.
- Opens it to wineries. Through a grower portal, vintners and producers claim their vineyards and add the details only they know, the things no analysis can see from above.
- Builds one shared record. The statewide analysis and the wineries' own input feed a single database, where every site in Oregon can be understood and compared on the same footing.
