Located in the heart of Downtown McMinnville just a few blocks from our Winery, our Wine Bar is the perfect setting to taste through our wines, linger over a glass, and purchase wine to take home. More than a tasting room, the R. Stuart & Co. Wine Bar perfectly embodies our philosophy that wine should be enjoyed with friends. R. Stuart Winery is Rob and Maria Stuart, and so much more.
It's the dedicated farmers who grow the fruit, it's the cadre of people who work alongside us in our winery and tasting room, it's the teams of sales people all over the country who carry a bag on their shoulder and tirelessly tell our story, it's the devoted shop owner or somm who loves to introduce their customers to wines that will enlighten and charm them, and it's the good people of the world who open a bottle of wine and embrace it all.

Our Story
Report
After making wine for other people for more than twenty years, Rob Stuart and his partners founded R. Stuart & Co. in early 2002. With a degree in biochemistry from Rensselear Polytechnic Institute in New York, and a short but eye-opening career in the labs at Baylor University in Texas, Rob started his winemaking journey on the bottling line at Hans Kornell in Napa, California.
Reserve Pinot Noirs
Report
Because we source fruit from about a dozen beautiful vineyards around the Willamette Valley, winemaker Rob Stuart is able to create intriguing and well-balanced Pinot noirs every time. Some Pinots are so unique, so intriguing and complex, that they deserve the extra special treatment. These Pinot noirs are perfectly wonderful to drink now, but as they age they reveal their many layers of intrigue and charm.
Specialty
Report
Rob Stuart is a man of many passions - and most of them have to do with wine. Did you know that the single reason he started to make wine was to recreate the 1963 Bollinger Champagne he tasted when he was just 18 years old? And later he spent a season working in Portugal learning the secrets to making the world's great Ports.
Big Fire
Report
Years ago we had a dream that started as just a spark and eventually grew into a Big Fire. That dream was to make friendly and delicious wines that are wonderfully food flexible. We use the Big Fire labels for what we like to call our Tuesday night wines. Wines you'll open when you get home from work - enjoy a glass as you're making dinner and another one with dinner.
Our People
Report
Deven started as a harvest intern (that's pretty typical around here) but he also has a business background. For a couple of years he worked for us intermittently, eventually coming on permanently in January of 2014. While his title is Business Manager, his job is really so much more than that - working with distributors, organizing the logistics of trucks and warehousing, and paying the bills too.
