Olson-Davis

Airlie is a true destination winery. If you don't stop and linger on the first visit, you will surely return when you can pack a picnic, bring the dogs and just relax the afternoon away. Mary Olson will tell the stories of our estate and the extensive list of varietals we offer. Her beguiling tales will capture and enchant you just like the wines served in our cozy tasting room, on the spacious sunny patio and the hillside deck.

Elizabeth Clark loves wine and it shows from our premier Pinot noir to our white blend, Seven. Regardless of the varietal she strives to create balanced, fresh wines with minimal handling. This approach showcases the best the vineyard and vintage have to offer while maintaining the unique character of each varietal.

Owner Mary Olson, a USWest telephone executive, found herself transferred to Oregon in the early 90's. When she was promoted out of Oregon she talked of buying a winery in her next life and moving back. In 1997 she sold her lifetime supply of pantyhose bought Airlie and began her next chapter. Elizabeth Clark working under the tutelage of pioneer winemaker Myron Redford (Amity Vineyards) came to Airlie during the spring of 2005.

Airlie's crew combines their knowledge of managing a vineyard and passion for growing grapes to create a solid foundation for our wine. Sebastian heads up the two man team and is often seen on weekends tending the family garden at Airlie with his wife Irene and two children Melisa and Evelyn. Guadalupe makes up the other half of our two man team and is a vital addition both in the vineyard and the winery.

It's no secret that we LOVE dogs at Airlie. Rocky and Piper, the two resident Irish Setters are our canine ambassadors! Mary hasn't met a dog she doesn't like and the feeling is mutual from all the four-legged visitors that come with their owners. Remember that we have a pond. If your dog is a water lover, you might want to bring a towel or two!
