Join Bells Up Winery for one of our three annual open house weekend events during Labor Day weekend. On Saturday and Sunday—September 5 and 6, 2015—our winery/tasting room facility will be open from Noon to 4:00 p.m.
Located on Chehalem Mountain, Bells Up is housed in a newly renovated pole barn at 27895 Northeast Bell Road at the intersection of Zimri Drive. Tastings are $15 per person, deducted from a $75 purchase.
Three of our inaugural releases will be poured*:
- 2014 Rhapsody Pinot Blanc
- 2014 Prelude Rosé of Pinot Noir
- 2013 Titan Pinot Noir
The label is the Willamette Valley’s newest micro-boutique winery, producing 400 cases annually, and is usually open only by appointment. Owned by winemaker Dave Specter, Bells Up produces handcrafted Oregon Pinot Noir from grapes sourced from micro-growers located on the northern side of the Willamette Valley. It also offers a small selection of other Oregon-grown and produced vintages.
The name “Bells Up” is a reference to a dramatic moment in classical music where the composer instructs French horn players to lift the bells of their instruments upward and project their sound with maximum intensity. Specter, a French horn player who performed in bands and symphonic groups throughout high school and college, says the winery is his “Bells Up” moment.
Fans of the winery are always encouraged to send us selfies and other snapshots with Bells Up wines for inclusion in our social media campaign #BellsUpMoment on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
