Our Story

“It was all a dream…”

Nestled within the North Willamette Valley, where rolling hills rise to meet sunkissed skies, Nash Vineyards is more than just a vineyard; it’s the fulfillment of the shared dream of best friends Nathan Sasaki and Shawn Menashe. For over a decade, they explored the Nash property, captivated by its potential and beauty. What began as a series of visits and hikes eventually blossomed into a deep respect for the soil, the sun, and the community, inspiring them to create something extraordinary on the land they had fallen in love with. In 2021, Nathan and Shawn transformed their dream into reality. They brought to life their vision of opening this special place to their community, and drew others to discover what’s possible when we all dare to dream together. And so, the journey began...

The Buffalo

The buffalo first appeared in a dream…and is now our emblem, symbolizing the strength, resilience, and unwavering spirit guiding Nash Vineyards from dream to thriving vineyard. Just as the buffalo represents a powerful force in nature, to us it also embodies the realization of a vision nurtured over many years. The buffalo reminds us that with determination, patience, and heart, even the dreams of our youth can grow into something truly remarkable.
