What Adelsheim Vineyard does

Adelsheim Vineyard is a privately held Oregon winery founded in 1971 by David and Ginny Adelsheim and now owned by the Loacker family following a full ownership transition in 2017. The company controls 368 acres of land in the Chehalem Mountains with 169.5 acres planted across six estate vineyard sites spanning the Chehalem Mountains, Ribbon Ridge, and Laurelwood District AVAs, plus grower-partner vineyards supplying single-vineyard designates. Production centers on estate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with a traditional method sparkling program, aged and bottled in a gravity-flow winery with Chardonnay barrel caves; the 2025 harvest yielded 565 tons. The commercial model is a hybrid direct-to-consumer and wholesale operation: a daily tasting room in Newberg, OR offers six tiered experiences priced $25–$95, an e-commerce store ships direct to most US states, and a four-tier wine club (Willamette, Heritage, Quarter Mile, Legacy) delivers 2–12 bottles quarterly at $91–$758 per shipment. Wholesale distribution is handled by multi-state partners including Mitchell Wine Group (Oregon), Winebow (10 states), and Johnson Brothers domestically, and a network of regional importers across 15+ international markets in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Hospitality is extended via three private event venues (The Cave, The Founders Room, The Patio) and a chef-led culinary program, with sustainability credentials including LIVE Certified Sustainable and B Corp Certification anchoring brand positioning.
