We had a great time seeing old friends and making new ones at yesterday’s annual meeting of the Willamette Valley Wineries Association meeting. As the newest winery member, we were gently reminded to get our page up on their site, which we have now done. Show them (and us) some love, will ya? Check out our WVWA page here.

That’s the question Sara asked Dave almost two decades ago, following his mental and physical breakdown from more than a decade as a successful corporate tax attorney. This, while watching Sara’s professional mentor battle pancreatic cancer at age 40.

Today — micro-boutique, un-domaine and always open by appointment — Bells Up composes 600 cases annually of handcrafted, classically-styled Oregon Pinot Noir, Rosé, Pinot Blanc, Seyval Blanc, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Schioppettino with grapes sourced exclusively from our estate vineyard and from Summit View Vineyard in Eastern Oregon.
