Panther Creek Cellars

Panther Creek Cellars, located in McMinnville, OR, has been producing Pinot Noir since 1986. The more recent history of the winery is told in the charming book written by Linda Kaplan, whose spouse, Ron, quit his law firm in Des Moines and bought Panther Creek Cellars. With little wine knowledge, the story details their trials and tribulations. The current owner is Liz Chambers and the winemaker is Michael Stevenson.

Grapes are sourced from well-known vineyards in the Willamette Valley and the winery is known for producing consistently high quality vineyard-designated PInot Noirs including wines from Shea Vineyard, Temperance Hill Vineyard, and Freedom Hill Vineyard. The winery is in McMinnville's former power plant in downtown McMinnville. The tasting room is located inside the main winery production area and is open daily. The wines are sold through the winery's online store.
