Taub Family Vineyards was born out of a dream four generations in the making. Marty Taub played an instrumental role in the wine business from the early 1930s, and his son David built upon his dream. Marc D. Taub, the third generation, grew up with a deep appreciation for the art of winemaking and had a vision of one day making his own wines. This came to fruition in 2013, when Marc, who today works side by side with son Jake, acquired Napa Valley producer Heritance – which later evolved to Taub Family Vineyards. The winery produces elegant, pure expressions of its respective AVAs and vineyard microsites.
We look forward to sharing a night of interesting wines and beautifully paired food with you!

Luck, fate, and a single-minded determination to make world-class wine in Oregon led David and Ginny Adelsheim to purchase their first 19 acres just outside Newberg, Oregon in 1971. Drawn to the uniqueness of the land and its proximity to Portland, it was here they decided to stake their claim, plant their first rows of Pinot Noir along Quarter Mile Lane, and establish what would become the Chehalem Mountains of Willamette Valley’s first-ever winery in 1978. Adelsheim is a LIVE certified sustainable winery and a seven-time Wine & Spirits Top 100 Winery.
