Firesteed Cellars

From the moment we began making wine in 1993; we have been dedicated to producing premium quality varietal wines in Oregon at affordable prices. Although Firesteed started small, we’ve enjoyed steady growth, great reviews and the gratifying loyalty of our customers and business partners, all thanks to the consistent quality and value of our wines.

Consistent quality is not always easy to achieve because winemaking is a timeless, mysterious and romantic undertaking, full of unpredictability and challenges. Over the years, we have learned to appreciate and work with the forces of nature, adjusting to the changing cycles of the sun and rain and the fertility of the soil in order to create varietals and blends that are wonderful in youth and often become better with every passing year.

Our first ten years of hard work, perseverance and patience were rewarded in 2002 when we moved into the Firesteed Winery and Tasting Room in Rickreall, Oregon. We invite you to visit us, tour our vineyards and taste our wines surrounded by the legendary beauty of Oregon’s Willamette Valley wine country. You’ll find us about an hour’s drive from Portland, just 13 miles west of Salem and 2 miles north of the intersection of Pacific Highway (99W) and Highway 22.

Our vineyards are located on two sites that comprise 292 acres. The 90-acre Firesteed Estate Vineyard is located in Rickreall Oregon, where it encircles our winery and tasting room. If you were to imagine the perfect spot for a winery, it would look exactly like this. And it doesn't hurt that the surrounding vineyard contains some of the most fertile land in the world and is ideally suited for growing superb wine grapes.

We started producing Firesteed wines from grapes grown here back in 1992. A decade later, we obtained a long-term lease to the land and have been farming it ourselves ever since. The grape varietals we grow here include Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. In 2006, we acquired another vineyard, Erratic Oaks, which covers an additional 202 fertile and scenic acres in nearby Dallas, Oregon.
