What People Are Saying...

“The wine community is really excited about the Springbrook development. This idea has been necessary in our area for a long time. You know, the wine industry needs a living room. We need a place where we can get together and meet somewhere in wine country. And we also need a place where we can send the people that visit us.”

—Jason Lett, Winemaker and Vineyard Manager, Eyrie Vineyards Winery and Black Cap Winery

“...it's a good bet that Ken and Joan Austin won't let one aspect of the development get lost in the government shuffle. And that would be incorporating the historical significance of the area into the development.”

—Newberg Graphic

“Although there are a lot of things to admire about this 433-acre development, one attractive feature for Oregonians is that this hotel is planned in accordance with Oregon's land-use regulations.”
