Heisen House Vineyards is a small, family-run winery and cidery set on a historic property in Battle Ground, Washington, just outside Portland. The winery makes its wines and hard ciders on site using a natural, minimal-intervention approach — wild ferment, cellar aging, and no chemical additions — and draws fruit from estate vines grown on the property (Gamay Noir, Gewürztraminer, Tempranillo, and Orange Muscat) alongside grapes and apples sourced from Clark County, the Columbia Gorge, and Eastern Washington. The grounds are set up for lingering: guests can sip a sampler flight or a glass or bottle of wine or cider while relaxing among the property's seating areas, hammocks, firepits, and grassy lawns, with leashed dogs welcome. Visitors can bring their own picnic or choose from the winery's prepackaged snacks, and the surrounding area offers nearby hiking, biking, rivers, waterfalls, and lakes for making a full day of it. Beyond regular tastings, Heisen House Vineyards rents its site for weddings, family reunions, corporate retreats, fundraisers, birthdays, and other private gatherings, pairing its historic country setting with house-made wine and cider for guests hosting a celebration.
