For two weeks, sheep and goats called our vineyard home : grazing, fertilizing, and quietly doing their magic.

Grateful to for their incredible work.

Our beloved ‘Lynx rufus’ in the wild. This elegant feline, known as the bobcat, has taken up residence along the edge of the forests that surround our vineyards. Their presence adds to the mystical energy of the estate. A formidable territorial hunter, they play an active role in protecting our vineyards from damage caused by rodents and migratory birds.

Bidding for our 2024 ¡Salud! Cuvée is live now at the Big Board site. This five case composition is comprised of two of our winemaking team’s favorite fermentations from the exquisite 2024 vintage—one from the Beaux Frères Vineyard and the other from The Upper Terrace.

It is an honor each year to support the ¡Salud! organization as it provides essential healthcare services to the vineyard stewards that fuel the excellence of the Willamette Valley. Follow the link in our bio to register and bid, and thank you for joining us in supporting this crucial cause!

Damien Lapuyade joined us in the summer of 2023, becoming the fourth Winemaker of record in our thirty-year history. With an impressive background as the Winemaker at Evening Land Vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills, he quickly made a significant impact at Beaux Frères thanks to his symbiotic alignment with the Etzel family’s ethos.

From Damien:
“There’s a wildness to Beaux Frères that’s special. It doesn’t feel like a vineyard that’s been tamed—it feels like it is deeply connected to the land. The vines that weave into the forest, the energy of the place, the history in the soil—all part of what makes the wines here so alive. The property has this natural rhythm that you can feel when you’re here. That feeling speaks to the Etzel family’s thoughtful, honest approach to land stewardship and winemaking. I was drawn to that honesty. Working in a place that requires listening and adapting rather than controlling is a privilege.”
