Portland-based travel writer Margot Bigg has included us in yet another travel guide. We’re honored and thrilled to have made the cut for the newest edition of Fodor’s American Spirits: Exploring the Best Wineries, Breweries, and Distilleries in the USA. She writes:
“If you’re after a wine-tasting experience that feels less like a formal presentation of wines and more like sitting down with old friends, Bells Up is the place to go. It’s run by a husband-and-wife team Sara and Dave Specter, who personally lead wine tastings, one group at a time. Along with the expected Pinot Noirs and Blancs, Bells Up offers Syrahs, Cabernets, and the occasional lesser-produced varietal, such as Seyval Blancs. Each wine is named for a piece of classical music, which—like the name of the winery itself—is inspired by Dave’s love for the French horn.”
Making travel plans to the Willamette Valley for a vacation or staycation?
Be sure to book your private tasting experience with Dave for the most scheduling options. We will host tastings throughout the winter season and would love to welcome you and your guests to sample our latest releases.
