Doyle W. Hinman

Doyle, a pioneer in the Oregon wine industry, founded Hinman Vineyards in 1979 and nurtured the winery to become one of the largest in Oregon. His passion for wine was sparked by an apprenticeship in 1977 at the Geisenheim Wine Institute in Germany and transformed into 30 years of hands-on experience in the emerging Oregon wine industry. Doyle has spent the past 15 years in marketing and sales for Henry Estate Winery in the Umpqua Valley, and is among few in the region to have brought Oregon wines to foreign markets. Five H represents Doyle’s return to the production side of winemaking. He is currently a member of the Oregon Export Committee, past member of the Oregon Wine Advisory Board, past President of the South Willamette Region of Oregon Winegrowers’ Association, member of Founders Council of the Oregon Wine Board, and Governors Agriculture Advisory Council.
