Bells Up Winery

Bells Up Winery is a micro-boutique winery located in Newberg, Oregon's Willamette Valley. Founded by Dave and Sara Specter in 2013, the winery specializes in handcrafted, classically-styled wines from estate-grown grapes and those sourced from Summit View Vineyard in Eastern Oregon. The Specters' journey into winemaking began as a hobby that brought them joy after leaving behind stressful careers; they relocated to Newberg to pursue their passion full-time. Bells Up's portfolio includes Pinot Noir, Rosé, Pinot Blanc, Seyval Blanc, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Schioppettino. The winery is known for its private tasting experiences, led by Winemaker Dave Specter, which offer a personalized journey through their current releases. These exclusive tastings are held in an intimate setting, allowing guests to learn about the vintages and make selections while touring the barrel room. The name "Bells Up" refers to a dramatic moment in classical music where French horn players lift their instruments' bells to project sound with maximum intensity; Dave Specter, a former French horn player, sees this as his own "Bells Up" moment.
