At HillCrest Vineyard west of Roseburg, Dyson and Susan DeMara share their passion for wine with their tasting room guests. Their vineyard and winery is family owned and operated and steeped in history.
Originally founded by Oregon vinifera pioneer, Richard Sommer, HillCrest is Oregon’s oldest estate winery. Sommer introduced European style grapes to the Umpqua Valley in 1961 and is credited for producing Oregon’s first Pinot Noir. The rustic tasting room serves as the perfect backdrop as the DeMara’s pour their wines and share HillCrest’s history with their guests.
They came to Creative Images last October with a desire to have labels that matched the quality of their small-lot artisan wines.
As you can see they have two lines. Their signature limited production HillCrest wines are available for tasting and purchase in their tasting room, but are not sold in stores. However, Heydon Road which honors wine pioneer, Adam Doerner—who brought grapevine cuttings to the Umpqua Valley in 1888—is handcrafted using old world techniques from Oregon’s oldest vineyards and is sold in select stores and restaurants.
Based on the labels that I designed, my coworker designed HillCrest’s website.
I then designed this ad for In the Land of Umpqua magazine.
Project Team Included:
- Creative Director: Gary G.
- General Manager: Paul Z.
- Client Services Director: Sande D.
- Graphic Designer: Karly Barrett
- Web Designers: Patrick S. and Toshie A.
I highly recommend visiting the DeMara’s at HillCrest and enjoying great wine while learning about Oregon’s wine history and how it is made.

Specifically, the foundation supports efforts to maintain the historic, […]
