Adega Northwest

Crafting European Inspired Wines in the Boutique Urban Winery

The journey of Adega Northwest started in 2014 when winemaker Bradford Cowin and his mother Tana Mendes Bidewell, decided to open a winery dedicated to handcrafted wines from the Pacific Northwest that were influenced by European wines. The winery was named Adega Northwest in honor of his grandfather and the family's Portuguese roots (Portuguese for wine cellar). Located in Portland, Oregon, Adega Northwest is a flourishing winery that is run by Cowin and his business partner Darren Harris.
