This family-founded vineyard was established in 1974 by Pat and Joe Campbell, back when there were only 10 wineries in the state. At first, only a trailer sat on the abandoned and overgrown homestead. But with the help of friends and loved ones, Elk Cove Vineyard grew to one of the premier wineries in Oregon.
In 1995, Pat and Joe’s son Adam Campbell joined the winery, and he’s now responsible for all of the wines Elk Cove produces. As a second-generation winemaker and fifth-generation Oregon farmer, he oversees about 380 planted acres.
Today, the Elk Cove tasting room overlooks beautiful views of those vineyards, and you can sip wines from Campbell, who Food & Wine Magazine called “one of Oregon’s top winemakers.”
