Methven Family Vineyards Our owners, Allen and Jill Methven, share a passion for Oregon Pinot Noir.
(260)

They purchased 100 acres in the Eola Hills in 2001, built a home and began planting their vineyard. The vineyard has now expanded to 30 acres of mostly Pinot Noir, as well as Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gamay and Chardonnay. Methven Family Vineyards uses all sustainable practices and is LIVE certified as well as Salmon safe. The Estate winery/tasting room was built in the summer of 2007 and finished just in time for harvest. Our tasting room in Dundee was added in the fall of 2017, and between the two locations you're sure to find a place to settle in for a lovely tasting experience. Allen and Jill invite you, your family, and friends to come enjoy all that Methven Family Vineyards has to offer.

Hello, friends of Methven Family Vineyards!

As you know, the past three years have been full with so much change for all of us. We appreciate all of you and are very grateful for your support during this most unusual time in all of our lives.

We thank you for this!

This past year has been the most challenging for us at Methven Family Vineyards with the passing of our beloved Allen. We received so many communications from you all expressing your own heartfelt personal experience of this loss and they were very consoling to read.
This year has also been one of transition for Methven Family Vineyards with the sale of our Estate Winery and Vineyards to Domaine Drouhin of Oregon. January 31st marked the last day of our possession as we had leased the property back over the last several months to allow all of our custom crush winemakers the time needed to find a new home for their wines. We have continued to sell our wines and provide our music program through our Tasting room in Dundee.

Recently we were approached about leasing our Dundee Tasting room by a brand we are pretty excited about. We are happy to let you know that Potcake Cellars will begin occupying our space and carrying their wines on March 1st. They have an established local presence in the area and make beautiful wines. They love our tasting room and we were able to come to an agreement that works out well for both of us. They are interested in selling our wines and continuing our Cellar Club throughout this year. So with this change there will remain some familiarity which will make for a smooth transition in the long run. This includes continuing the music program.

We hope you will feel comfortable embracing this change and that you'll come in to introduce yourselves to the Potcake brand this Spring. They are wonderful people and are very excited to meet you all and continue to expand and create their brand in the Dundee Tasting Room.

Thank you for everything!

Jill and the Methven Family team

Our Story

Together owners, Allen and Jill Methven share a passion for Oregon Pinot Noir. That's why they decided to purchase 100 acres in the Eola Hills in 2001. It is there that they built their home and began planting their vineyard. The vineyard has now expanded to 32 acres of mostly Pinot Noir, as well as Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gamay and Chardonnay. Methven Family Vineyards uses all sustainable practices in the growing of their vineyard and is LIVE certified as well as Salmon safe. The Winery and tasting room was built in the summer of 2007 and finished just in time for harvest.

Chris Lubberstead, winemaker, joined with Allen and Jill in 2007 to help design the winery and tasting room. Chris has been in the Oregon wine industry for over 10 years, and has focused his career exclusively around Pinot Noir. Even his winery internships in California and Australia were picked for their specialty in Pinot Noir.

After the 2014 vintage we brought on our current winemaker Greg McClellan. Greg was brought up in a house of Francophiles with an affinity for fine wines. After college he worked in the Oregon wine industry as an intern with Ponzi and the assistant winemaker at Hamacher Wines. He then expanded his knowledge by attending the viticulture and enology program in Beaune, the heart of Burgundy. After, he returned to Oregon and continued his career making wine in the valley for the next ten years. We feel very fortunate to have someone so well versed in both fine Pinot Noir and white wine production. The Estate Tasting Room is open Friday through Sunday from 11am to 5pm and by appointment Monday through Thursday. Tours of the Methven facilities are available as well as a picnic area, indoor dinning space, bocce ball and our always outstanding view of the Eola Hills. The winery often hosts events intimate to extravagant including weddings. To schedule your event please contact our tasting room 503.868.7259.

In 2016 we added a gathering place and tasting room to the family in Dundee. Located near the Dundee Bistro and Red Hills Market this space features flights, glass pours, bubbles, and beer. Methven Family Dundee tasting room is open 12-8pm daily and we welcome guests to bring a picnic or just come relax.
