Styring Vineyards

The Styring name is Viking in origin, documented back to the Year 700 A.D. Styr the Strong was father to Ragnar Lodbrok. We are Lodbrok’s direct descendants through his son Bjorn “Ironsides.” The history is muddled but their descendants left Denmark and Sweden to take what is now Sheffield, England. Our family history in England is linked with farming as far back as 1100 A.D. The Styrings who did not take up farming continued as cutlers (knife and sword makers) and perished “at their profession” according to family documents. Good thing our ancestors liked to farm! Today, the Styrings live on the farm in Oregon, which is open to the public on a limited basis.
