RISING TIDE WINE FEST

HUMAN CELLARS

Human, Vine, Nature. Bryan and Emily created Human Cellars after more than 20 years of wandering the earth, inspired by humans who have made the world a better place in their own small way. The philosophy of Human Cellars is simple- farm it following the rhythms of nature without the use of chemicals; keep it pure in the winery without fining, filtering or additions (save for a bit of sulfur); and be an active part of the community where you live.

ARABILIS WINES

Our name, ‘Arabilis,’ meaning arable or farmable land, embodies our close partnership with farmers and our aspiration to own a vineyard someday. A husband-wife team with two PhDs in wine, we combine scientific expertise with meticulous vineyard sourcing to craft acclaimed Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and traditional method sparkling wines. Each sip of our wines embodies our journey of dedication, love, and relentless hustle. 

RICOCHET

Ricochet wines are crafted with a natural-wine inclination, without dogma. Winemaker Erich Berg strives to be hands off while producing sophisticated and clean wines that reflect the Willamette Valley and the Pacific Northwest. Focused on sustainably-farmed fruit; low sulfur; wild-yeast fermentation; and the avoidance of synthetic additives. Because of this, Ricochet’s wines offer the inherent tension of each varietal. Ricochet also is driven to be a community-oriented brand, donating 5% of annual profits to local and regional non-profits that help our neighbors-in-need “bound back,” or, ricochet.

PROJECT M

Inspired by the virtues of purity, precision, elegance, and transparency, we work with distinctive vineyards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley to craft distinguished Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Sparkling Rosé.

Our highest aspiration isn’t to live out our values or dreams. Our greatest ambition is to have our wines there when you are living yours.

PROJECT M explores the awe in life’s beautiful interconnections and rhythms, an odyssey to squeeze out the last drop of potential and make the most of every moment.

SATYR FIRE

Satyr Fire is crafted for the curious drinker who seeks complex, elegant wines; they are for the adventurer who’s always eager to embark on a journey; they are for the storyteller who wishes to blur the line between reality and myth. Every wine, born from wild fermentation, tells a small portion of their story. Each bottle is a sentence, each barrel is a paragraph, and each vintage is a chapter of the unfolding tale.

LISKA

Liska Wine Co is an itty-bitty family winery in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, with a focused intent on highlighting the region’s compelling, yet under-represented, wine grape varieties. Since their inaugural 2021 vintage, Liska has crafted single-varietal wines of Gruner Veltliner, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Gamay Noir and Syrah, all from the Eola-Amity Hills and with original artwork to match their respective wines. Their goal is to continue to showcase these expressive varieties, while expanding their exploration of the Willamette Valley’s varietal outliers.

AUDEANT

Audeant – May they dare, may they venture, may this risk – a name that embodies not only our winemaking philosophy, but also the origins behind our brand.

Founded in 2016 by Teal Walker – after a visit where she found herself struck with the energy, beauty & wines of the Valley, and a happenstance meeting with Andrew Riechers, a native Oregonian with a deep winemaking history across the globe.

The small brand was formed around a handful of rows in a few of the most challenging and compelling vineyard sites in the Willamette Valley. Whether older own rooted vines, or unirrigated and organically farmed at high elevation, we believe the margins are where place and time are reflected most beautifully. We venture to risk in these places and in our lives as we dare to place our goals higher than seems reasonable.

PIKE ROAD WINES

At Pike Road, we believe great winemaking starts with great farming. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to support small family-owned vineyards to create wines of quality, value and integrity, sourcing fruit from over 20 farms in Oregon’s northern Willamette Valley covering six unique sub-AVAs: Chehalem Mountains, Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills, Laurelwood, Tualatin Hills & Yamhill Carlton. With over four decades of experience at Pike Road’s sister winery Elk Cove Vineyards, our family has a long history here in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. We are committed to preserving family farms through our longtime partnerships with growers from around the valley.

SUZOR WINES

Honoring our French heritage through Greg’s grandmother’s name, Suzor was born from a desire to create wines that resonate with vivacity and authenticity of the vineyards we source from. Fond memories of family meals in France’s Loire Valley have influenced our choice to make simply elegant, food friendly wines.

Today, Suzor Wines has grown into a family affair. Greg focuses on crafting beautiful wines and Mélissa works on growing our brand and operations while Hugo keeps everyone tiredly on their toes! Many exciting possibilities are on the horizon, but we remain focused on making wines that convey our story, with a nod to French tradition.

RIDGECREST

We are a multi-generational family winery located in the northern Willamette Valley. Ridgecrest Vineyards was founded in 1980, with the first vines planted in 1982 on what is now the prestigious Ribbon Ridge AVA. With five decades of experience farming the first vines planted on Ribbon Ridge, each bottle of Estate-grown Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Gris, Chenin Blanc and Gamay Noir we craft is reflective of the Willamette Valley’s reputation as one of the world’s truly special wine regions.

ALUMBRA

Alumbra is the Spanish word for shining light. Alumbra’s story is one of family, hard work, culture, and new beginnings. It’s a story of our father who left his native Mexico in search of a better life in Oregon. After decades of hard work and raising a family, he planted the vineyard in 2005. Elena took over the vineyard in 2014 and has since created Alumbra, a company dedicated to sustainable farming, a brand that celebrates the Latino culture of the family and farm workers who embody the soul of Alumbra. When you drink Alumbra, you become part of the story, a story of American-immigration and success that resulted in a dedication to hard work, culture, family and faith.

ELK COVE

One of the founding wineries of the Willamette Valley, family-owned and operated Elk Cove Vineyards was the first vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Adam Campbell is a second-generation owner/winemaker and fifth-generation Oregon farmer specializing in Pinot Noir and cool-climate white wines. Elk Cove sources fruit from their six 100% estate-grown, sustainably farmed vineyard sites located across the northern Willamette Valley. Elk Cove is host to the 2024 Rising Tide Wine Fest.
