Chehalem Winery, based in Newberg, Oregon, operates as a vineyard winery focused on producing single-vineyard Pinot Noirs and expressive white wines with minimal processing to reflect the character of the fruit. The company emphasizes sustainable practices across its entire operation, pursuing soil stability, biodiversity, and whole-farm stewardship that extend to non-grape crops, landscaping, building operations, labor practices, and packaging. Its approach centers on showcasing what the vineyard yields, maintaining integrity from harvest through blending and aging while adhering to certifications such as BCorp, LIVE, and Salmon Safe. The business positions itself within the Willamette Valley’s Chehalem Mountains AVA, aligning with a regional emphasis on thoughtful farming and environmental responsibility. Chehalem is a relatively small producer with a local footprint, reflecting a hands-on, vineyard-first philosophy in its winemaking. A recent community-oriented development includes the launch of a garden feature around its red barn, highlighting its engagement with regional horticulture and native plants.
