Dr. Fred and Mary Benoit Guide to the Chateau Benoit Collection 1970-1999   Creator: Dr. Fred and Mary Benoit Title: Chateau Benoit Collection Dates: 1970-1999 Summary: This collection is comprised of a large variety of publications, documents, photographs, books, and other materials from Fred and Mary Benoit’s time as owners of Chateau Benoit.  Repository Jereld R. Nicholson Library Linfield College 900 SE Baker Street McMinnville, OR 97128 Reference Number: 503-883-2734 Reference Email: archives@linfield.edu  Language: English  Biographical Note Chateau Benoit was established in 1979 by Fred and Mary Benoit. Fred Benoit had always been interested in farming because his family had always been agriculturally oriented while he was growing up. After Fred retired from his career as a physician, he followed his dream of getting back to the land, and he and his wife Mary planted their first vineyard just outside of Salem. They planted not long after the modern Oregon wine pioneers had started and the Benoits were able to receive help from those who came before them. Fred and Mary were involved in several organizations during their time in the industry, including Knights of the Vine, the Oregon Winery Association, and Mary was a part of Women for Wine Sense.   After many years growing grapes for Chateau Benoit, they finally decided to officially retire and sell to Anne Amie Vineyards.     Content Description This collection contains publications, photographs and documents pertaining to the Winegrowers Council of Oregon, as well as event information from the period Fred and Mary Benoit owned Chateau Benoit (1979-1999). Some of the publications include: The Oregon Wine Publication, The Tendril, NW Wine Almanac, various books, handbooks, and more. These publications range from the years 1970 to 1999. There are numerous documents relating to different events Chateau Benoit put on, attended, or were invited to. There are also many publications and documents from the Benoit’s time as members in the Wine Growers Association.  Restrictions on Access Access is by appointment only.
