Bells Up Winery

We had such a lovely visit to Bells Up Winery. Dave was a charming and knowledgeable host. He shared his love of winemaking with us and educated us about the various wines we sampled. The setting was beautiful and we enjoyed the whole experience. Visit Bells Up and buy some wine. You won’t regret it!!

Bells Up Winery was one of our favorite stops in Oregon Wine Country. As a musician, we heard about this winery from a fellow musician and they said we had to go. My wife and I booked a trip and were pleasantly surprised to find that we had a one on one tour/tasing with Dave. It was a very personal tour and the wine is amazing! Highly Recommend!!!

Great wine!

Visiting Bells Up Winery is like visiting friends. And not just any friends, but friends who are knowledgeable, generous, welcoming, and always have great wine. In other words: the best kind of friends. Chatting with winemakers Dave and Sara while taking in that beautiful pastoral view and sipping on their diverse but carefully curated and consistently delightful wines… you can’t help but sigh with contentment. Their story, and their wine, make you believe that dreams can come true. (With, of course, talent, passion, and a heck of a lot of hard work.) But while you’ll appreciate the labor of love that has made their dreams a reality, a visit to Bells Up winery is relaxed, unhurried, and just oh so pleasant. It is something to be savored. Much like a glass of their New World Reserve Cab.

We had such a lovely tasting experience with the owners, Dave and Sara. They were knowledgeable about the wines that we tasted and they were delightful people. We can't wait to get back to visit the wine tasting room!! Definitely one of the top Oregon wines and a must have for your cellar.

You sit 1:1 with the actual winemaker and have a chat about wine, life, business, whatever. It’s like sitting down with that one super knowledgeable friend, having a chat and them casually (and not in a weird way) dropping wine and life knowledge on you. Yes, life knowledge. Dave is charming, introspective, and so passionate about his work. Oh, and the wine. THE WINE. I loved the intention behind every wine they create. Each wine is unique, but they are also working hard to create a space in Pinot country to show visitors that Oregon can produce incredible wines from other varietals with the right brains and palate behind it. No easy feat they are accomplishing. If you call and think this place seems exclusive, it’s because it is! This is the winery that the “in the know” wine folks make a point to visit.

We visited the winery in 2022 and it was our favorite winery. Sitting on the porch talking with Dave and sipping wine - truly felt like spending time with family. We are still wine club members and love the wine!

Bells Up was fantastic. Dave and Sara made us feel so special. It was like visiting with old friends. The wine was delicious and the passion they have for it was contagious. I highly recommend a stop here. I’m going back in a month and this is on my list to visit again!

Beautiful! Exquisite, fine wines!

We enjoyed ourselves so much!!!! Wine was awesome, service, even better! Thank you Sara for the fantastic experience! Sorry we missed you Dave! Sara covered for you so exceptionally! Great time! Glad to be a new member!

Absolutely fantastic experience! Sarah was phenomenal, you can tell she’s passionate about her wine and the property. She’s so friendly, knowledgeable, and takes great care in her tastings. We had a wide variety of wine while visiting, each one unique and delicious. The views on the property are wonderful. We had great conversation and learned a lot about Bells Up winery and wine making. Would love to come back and see what they have in store the next few years!

A must visit! The wines are so wonderful, David/Sara are top notch winemakers, and an intimate tasting experience that is so special. I love their story and love their wines even more. Can't wait to visit in the future!

Absolutely a must-visit winery. The tastes they've accomplished with the same varietals being sold everywhere are extraordinary. Both the owners are fun, down-to-earth, and such a joy to talk to. The property is beautiful (even after an ice storm!). If you are visiting from out of town and are looking for a high quality winery, or if you are local and haven't tried this place yet, I cannot recommend it enough. We had a total blast and are already planning our return trip.

I’ve been to a lot of wineries in Oregon and California, and this is truly a throwback one of a kind experience to taste with the owner and winemaker. I will be back and I highly recommend it! (Notably the wine is also very good)

We did a couples wine trip to Oregon in February of 2023 and Bells Up was clearly one of the highlights. Our tasting with Dave & Sara was truly enlightening and there were no questions that we could ask that did not include an insightful answer. The wines we tasted were awesome and are now a favorite part of our wine cellar stock. ( We love the musical theme to the wine names) We will go see these great people every time we go out to Willamette Valley wine country!
