Colene Clemens

Colene Clemens Vineyards is a family-owned winery situated in the northern Willamette Valley, occupying a unique position at the convergence of the Chehalem Mountains and Ribbon Ridge AVAs. The estate spans 122 acres, where two distinct geological identities meet within a single property. The winery's signature varietal is Pinot Noir, with a focus on sustainable production methods and estate-grown wines. Their Adriane Pinot Noir series showcases bold and full-bodied expressions of the vintage, crafted from select barrels and available in small-production quantities. Visitors can experience world-class Pinot Noir overlooking the single vineyard where it was grown at the winery's tasting room, open daily from 11 AM to 5 PM. The family-owned business was founded by Joe Stark and his wife Vicki, who developed an appreciation for fine wines, particularly Pinot Noir, over the years. They acquired the estate in the 1980s, which had been a fallow farmstead and orchard, but possessed ideal conditions for growing high-quality Pinot Noir. The winery's atmosphere is described as a sanctuary with sweeping vineyard views, offering an unhurried experience for visitors.
