Wetzel Estate Winery

Established in 1990, Wetzel Estate Winery is a family-owned and operated vineyard rooted in a four-generation legacy of winemaking that began in Germany. Our vineyards are strategically located in Oregon's Willamette Valley, benefiting from ideal sun exposure, elevation, and the cooling maritime air currents of the Van Duzer Corridor AVA. The region's well-drained sedimentary soils, enriched by the Missoula floods, contribute to the distinct mineral complexity of our wines. We prioritize sustainable practices, holding L.I.V.E. Certification, one of the Pacific Northwest's most rigorous sustainability standards. Our portfolio includes award-winning Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling, and limited-production specialty wines such as Sparkling Wines and Northwest Comfort, our proprietary Gluhwein recipe.

With domestic and international distribution, we combine traditional techniques with modern innovation to craft wines that reflect our terroir. Our tasting room, open daily, offers over 20 rotating wines and private tours of our crush pad, barrel room, and bottling line. We host events ranging from wine/food pairings to weddings, emphasizing community engagement and education through Wine 101 classes. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our limited annual production, ensuring meticulous attention to every bottle.
