Chapter 1: Diana Lett of the Eyrie Vineyards

Published: March 1, 2021, 4:43 a.m.

We met with Diana Lett of the Eyrie Vineyards on October 5, 2020 in the yard behind her home, looking at their second oldest vineyard planting. Soon after their wedding in October 1966, Diana and David Lett started transplanting 3000 young vines from a nursery David planted near Corvallis in February 1965. Using what Diana calls her ‘wedding shovel.’ But we’re jumping ahead. Let’s get the story from Diana.
