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.
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.
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.
PIKE ROAD
At Pike Road, we believe great winemaking starts with great farming. 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.
LERZI WINE
Lerzi is an ode to a matriarch, our Nonna, Giuseppina Lerzi. A project grown from generations of hard work, practice and diligence, we turn now towards a more playful process. Our experimental approach joins thoughtful farming and traditional methods to make wines that bridge the gap; between mother and daughter, winemaker and chef, new and known, classic and fun. We make small lots of wines that are equal parts experiment and celebration, wines for drinking with food, with friends and with intention. Lerzi is our meeting place. It’s a representation of the place we call home, the land we are tied to through work and love, and our desire to make wines we are delighted to drink and excited to share. We farm our own vineyards using LIVE certified sustainable methods and no till, with low intervention in the cellar, guiding our wines with a gentle hand. It’s simple, as Nonna said: it’s just wine, drink it!
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.
APPROACHMENT WINES
We’re Jessica and Paden West, a winemaking couple that has over 20 years combined experience in the Oregon wine industry.
We’ve been crafting top-tier Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for ages, but let’s face it—sometimes you’ve gotta shake things up. So, we’re adding a touch of “fun” to our serious winemaker vibes.
Approachment is our excuse to unleash our creative and experimental side together as winemakers but also as partners and best friends. We are excited to make energetic, creative, thought provoking, and approachable wines in limited production.
MENDIVIA WINES
Mendivia was started by Colin and Holly Howard to celebrate our favorite Spanish cultivars from some of Oregon and Washington’s emerging AVAs. Mendivia (Men-dée-via) Wines is rooted in a love of Spanish culture, combined with mindful winemaking and appreciation of the state’s unique vineyards. Inspired by winemaker Colin Howard’s Basque lineage (his family name was originally Mendivia), the label brings together unique Spanish grape varieties with serious craftsmanship. Grapes, such as Tempranillo and Albariño, are sourced from the PNW’s warmer regions whose climates and topography are similar to those of north/ northwest Spain. The wines are compelling and energetic with the goal to always be adding something delicious and dynamic to the table. Colin brings a diverse background to his winemaking which also includes years in distilling and hospitality management, both of which inform his approach to making vibrant, food-friendly wines that capture the spirit of each vineyard.
LIMITED ADDITION WINE
Limited Addition Wine showcases the Willamette Valley’s unique and ever-changing grape diversity, while allowing our winemaker, Bree Stock MW, to explore her dedication to low-intervention winemaking. Ltd.+ wines are personal handmade wines raised from collaborations with inspired farmers to develop a diverse and sustainable wine landscape in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. These wines are made from alternative varieties through thoughtful farming and winemaking practices.
