USA | Oregan's Premier Winery, Antica Terra, has expanded its premises with a new luxury property and precinct.
Antica Terra has announced that its new, expanded luxury property is now open. With the new Barrel Hall and Table in the Trees, the talents of its wine and culinary programmes are poised to deliver an unparalleled, world-class experience to a greater audience.
When Antica Terra winemaker and co-founder Maggie Harrison's neighbours retired last year, she inherited their acreage, trust, and vision of continuing to run a biodynamic and wholly regenerative ecosystem on their combined properties. In this expansion, Antica Terra gained one hundred and forty-eight acres of native oak woodlands, seasonal waterways, biodynamic vineyards, and gardens. Stewardship and conservation were at the heart of this acquisition. Over the last decade, detailed work has been done to rehabilitate the ecosystem, clearing invasive tree species and planting native companions for the oaks. These trees will now remain preserved in the Oregon Oak Accord in perpetuity.
With its expanded property, Antica Terra is a study of undone beauty and wild refinement. Together with design partners West of West (architecture), ORCA (environmental design), Bennett Schlesinger (light sculptures), and Making Dept (photography, ceramic vases crafted from site-based materials), they have created a place at once firmly rooted in the landscape where they live and work—yet removed from everything else. This is not white tablecloth luxury; the process is embedded in every choice. They believe in what's done well, and made purposefully, with the elegance of attention and a light hand.
The property will offer two distinct spaces, the Barrel Room and Table in the trees.
The Barrel Room will be the heart of the property, where a diverse offering of tastings and culinary experiences will be available, including The Collective; The Rarities Flight; and Very Nice Lunches - where Chef Timothy Wastell wholeheartedly embraces and emphasises the natural beauty of plants and animals and honours the hard work, heritage and seasons of agriculture in the Pacific Northwest.
Table in the Trees encompasses a site-poured concrete table that runs like a ribbon, winding through the native oak savanna crowning the property. Guests will sit in leaf-patterned sun shadows under the lace of the tall oak canopy to enjoy a hosted five-wine flight.
