"It's an eco-friendly, recycled-material-using, cooperative winemaking facility where a bunch of top-notch Oregon winemakers all share equipment to turn out classy Pinot Noir and other varietals, including sparkling wines and dessert wines... And to top it off, these wineries all pour their bottles in a shared tasting room that's open to the public."'
– Food & Wine Magazine
The Carlton Winemakers Studio, born in the summer of '02, is the brain-child of winemaker Eric Hamacher, Luisa Ponzi (winemaker for Ponzi Vineyards) and their partners Ned and Kirsten Lumpkin of Lazy River Vineyard in Yamhill, Oregon. The Studio is the first multiple winery facility built in Oregon.
