Phelps Creek Vineyards - A Boutique Winery

Founded in 1990, Phelps Creek Vineyards is a charming boutique winery located in Oregon, producing around 5,000 cases of wine each year. The winery primarily focuses on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. Owner and winegrower Bob Morus partnered with Alexandrine Roy in 2007, a Burgundy native who brought her expertise in traditional French winemaking techniques. Initially hired to create a special cuvée, Alexandrine's exceptional skills led her to become the chief winemaker, significantly enhancing the quality of their wines.

Sustainable Practices in Viticulture

Phelps Creek Vineyards prioritizes quality over quantity by cultivating fewer grapes, which increases labor and costs but ensures high standards. The winery employs sustainable agricultural methods, emphasizing careful vineyard management. In addition to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, they also grow Pinot Gris. All grapes are handpicked and processed in the cellar to produce their premium red, white, and dessert wines.

Wine Tasting with Scenic Views

The winery's first Pinot Noir vines were planted in 1990, followed by Chardonnay in 1992. They also experiment with various white varietals on Underwood Mountain, overlooking the Columbia River. The unique terroir of the Columbia Gorge region is beautifully expressed in their wines.

The tasting room is located at the picturesque Hood River Golf Course, just a mile from the estate.

Phelps Creek Vineyards offers a relaxing atmosphere where visitors can enjoy their wines while taking in the stunning views of Hood Mountain and the surrounding landscape.

This was such a delightful tasting room, as was our attendant today. She was very knowledgeable and helpful in finding a sweet wine for my friend. The Riesling dessert wine hit the mark! They also serve lunch of which we will have to give a try on our next visit. The outdoor space is very nice too.

We did the wine tasting with Taylor as our host and she took great care of us and did a great job explaining the wines. Every single wine tasted great and the place was cozy and nice. I especially liked the Phelps creek pioneer block Riesling and the petite Verdot. We had the charcuterie board, and the truffle goat cheese was my favorite. They even had blankets you could put on upon entering and couches upstairs. Would definitely recommend this place for wine tasting and charcuterie!

I went to Phelps Creek this past weekend and it was amazing! The atmosphere itself had a very cozy and homey feel to it. With Jazz music in the background, I really got to enjoy there selective wine tasting and delicious food. The staff them self were brilliant and knowledgeable of all the wines served. I for sure give them a 10 out of 10! Take it from a local of the gorge, you don’t want to miss out on this place if you enjoy tasting amazing wine at a reasonable price!

Phelps Creek Tasting Room was the perfect place for my first tour and tasting. The wine is delicious and this place is amazing with their wine making process. They cater to other parts of the world that may have different trending styles of wine than what is drank in the US. The gal there was very welcoming. We began by exploring the beautiful and well kept grounds. After sometime exploring the grounds we made our way into the building which was a completely new level of impressive. Rustic wood finishes with metal accents that all get pulled together with the wine making experience. This is much more than good wine it's a great experience.
