Specialties
Seven of Hearts explores different vineyards, appellations and varietals within Oregon’s Willamette Valley and neighboring regions. Our wines tell the story of where they were grown and the conditions they were grown in. Utilizing traditional winemaking methods, our goal is small production wines of great purity, complexity, and elegance.
History
Established in 2004.
Byron Dooley’s passion for wine began in college, was fostered around the world, enriched in Napa Valley, and continues through today, as he continues to make wines that we love.
The story of how he found his way to his dream job began while Byron was attending Oregon State University. He and his wife, Dana, were first introduced to wine through wine tasting excursions that Byron can still recall today.
«I can still remember some of those early bottles and the moment of tasting them: the silky texture, complex layers of fruit, and the long lingering flavors,» Byron said. «The seed had been planted and the passion for wine grew until it eventually called to become my primary pursuit.»
You can find him today, still doing what he loves, at Seven of Hearts /Luminous Hills in Carlton.

Byron fell in love with wine in college at Oregon State University, continued to explore wine throughout a career in technology, and followed a winding road back to Oregon to make the kinds of wines he loves. He has traveled around the world exploring wines from different regions, and sees it as more of a passion than a job. His enthusiasm, dedication, meticulousness, devotion to wine, and integrity in the winemaking process are only a few of the qualities that make Byron an excellent winemaker.
