Micro-boutique, un-domaine and always open by reservation for private tasting experiences — hosted by winemaker and owner Dave Specter — Bells Up Winery composes handcrafted, classically styled Pinot Noir, Rosé, Pinot Blanc, Seyval Blanc, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon with grapes sourced exclusively from its estate, and from micro-sites in the Willamette Valley and Eastern Oregon. The winery makes ~500 cases annually.

The name “Bells Up” refers to a dramatic moment in classical music where the composer instructs French horn players to lift the bells of their instruments up and project sound with maximum intensity. Dave, a French horn player who performed throughout high school and college, says the winery is his “Bells Up” moment.

TASTING AT BELLS UP

Enjoy a full-sensory journey through Bells Up’s current wines, guided by Winemaker Dave Specter, and reserved exclusively for one group at a time (6 guests max). Relaxed and unhurried, you’ll experience our micro-boutique wine releases, learn about the vintages and their composition, and tour the barrel room as you make your wine selections. You’ll also gain insights into the two decades of life, business, and winemaking lessons that led Dave and Sara to move 2,500 miles to establish an un-domaine winery and vineyard on Chehalem Mountain. And the view doesn’t suck either.
