Lachini Vineyards Lachini Vineyards was started by Ron & Marianne Lachini in 2001 (after planting the first vine in 1997!) It is a small, family-owned estate vineyard focused on producing the Northwest’s favorite; Pinot Noir. They also have several other varietals that are stellar. Try Lachini I had the pleasure of working at Lachini, both pouring wine & taking on my role as photographer. They are the reason I love blends with a *touch* of Cab Franc.Favorite Wines by Lachini: La Bestia & La Contrada.
