Honeywood Winery
|
|
In 1933, Honeywood Winery was founded by Ron Honeyman and John Wood. It was originally call Columbia Distillers, and produced fruit brandies, cordials, and liqueurs. Eventually, they settled on making premium fruit wines and decided a name change was in order for the winery. Contrary to the obvious Messrs, Honeyman and Wood did not use a contraction of their names to make Honeywood, and in fact, objected to the name on those grounds. An advertising consultant, who knew a thing when he saw it, provided the rationale with a line from Oliver Goldsmith's play "The Good Natured Man", wherein the products of fermentation were referred to as "smooth as HONEY... aged in WOOD... the drink of the good natured man."
By coincidence or design, Honeywood became synonymous with the elite in wines. Obviously, a winery must be close to its source of ingredients, and so it is with Honeywood. Located in Salem, in the heart of Oregon's great fertile Willamette Valley, the winery is minutes away from some of the world's finest vineyards, cane berry fields and fruit orchards.
