Adelsheim Vineyard

David Adelsheim planted his first vineyard in 1971 and spent the next four decades building not just a winery but Oregon's wine industry infrastructure: the VQA equivalent appellation system, early winemaker collaboration, and the advocacy that created the regulatory framework. Elizabeth's Reserve honours his wife.

Oregon's institutional founding estate; David Adelsheim's advocacy shaped the Willamette Valley's regulatory and quality infrastructure more than any individual winemaker.
