Melrose Vineyards

What Melrose Vineyards does

Melrose Vineyards is a privately held, family-owned winery headquartered at 885 Melqua Road, Roseburg, Oregon, in the Umpqua Valley of Southern Oregon. Founded in 1996 by Wayne and Deedy Parker on an original 82-acre planting, the business has expanded to approximately 250-300 planted acres across a main estate and a secondary block established in 2009, and now produces twelve estate-grown varietals including Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Viognier, Riesling, Pinotage, Pinot Gris, Syrah, Tempranillo, Baco Noir, Merlot, and Malbec, plus a limited-release Solstice Solera port-style dessert wine. Winemaking and grape processing occur on-site, and the company also sells a portion of its fruit through long-term contracts to other Oregon wineries.

The business operates exclusively through direct-to-consumer and on-site channels: an estate tasting room in a rebuilt 100-year-old barn (open seven days a week with wine and food service), a Vin65-powered online wine shop, a five-tier Cellar Club wine club releasing quarterly allocations with tiered discounts of 10-25%, a wedding and private-event venue capable of hosting up to 200 guests with catering and bar services, and a Harvest Host RV camping partnership. Marketing is driven by a dense on-site events calendar (Wine & Chill weekends, Supper Club dinners, the annual Wine in the Valley festival, Melrose Renaissance Faire, cooking classes, and live music), supplemented by email, website content, and presence on TripAdvisor, Yelp, and Google.

The company has no disclosed external funding, no parent entity, and is privately held by the Parker family. Pricing is set per bottle with case discounts available: Pinot Noir at $30 per bottle, Merlot at $22, Syrah at $25, Tempranillo at $28, Baco Noir at $20, Pinot Gris at $18, and Solstice Solera at $50. Wine club members commit to a minimum of two allocations, and event pricing ranges from free member events to $75 VIP tickets. The company has no publicly disclosed revenue figures.
