It’s a family affair

Stardance Vineyards was started in 2003 by Glenn & Shirley Kloss. The grapes have been used by winemakers throughout the Willamette Valley region.

Glenn & Shirley's daughter Beth along side her husband Chris Franz, started the next generation of Stardance by using our Stardance grapes to express this place in our estate Stardance Wines. They’ve hand selected the grapes for each of their exquisite wines, so that each wine becomes it's own shining star.

Beth & Chris continue to be dedicated to organic practices and sustainable production when it comes to both farming & winemaking, continuing Glenn's passion while transforming it into today’s Stardance premium wines

What about the name?

Stardance’s founder, Glenn, was fascinated by Rudolf Steiner and biodynamic growing practices.  He was certain that the celestial bodies had an influence on all growing things, and he saw life as a joyous dance.
Put those together and you get Stardance.
