When I came to the Washington countryside, I had a desire to create a place that echoed the beauty of the European homes and gardens I’d admired while growing up in Portugal.
During my childhood I had the opportunity to walk through old-world gardens and admire vine-covered houses. These we places that fused beauty with functionality; that married elegance of form with lasting function. I romanticized about creating and living in places like those.
Years passed, and life got busy with other passions and ventures. It was only when I settled in the Pacific Northwest that the lush landscape inspired me to begin building my dream.
In 2000 the villa was completed. In 2006, Purple Rain Vineyard was established as a CSA, (Community Supported Agriculture) with a plan to transform the space into gardens and a winery. In 2016 we began the transformation and renamed Purple Rain Vineyard to Monet Vineyards to reflect the current landscape.
Monet Vineyards is a private estate and my living space.
