Beckham Estate Vineyard is perched on the flank of Parrett Mountain in Oregon’s Chehalem Mountains AVA.
The A.D. Beckham wines are a convergence of two passions- ceramics and wine. The terra cotta amphorae used to make these wines are handcrafted in Andrew’s studio on our vineyard. While we not so patiently wait for our 4 acres of Gamay vines to fully produce, we were able to purchase some of this this gorgeous fruit from organically farmed Jubilee Vineyard in Eola Amity Hills with a small portion from our estate.
