Eugene Wine Cellar541-342-2600 Closed for the Harvest Season An urban winery in the midst of Eugene, EWC opened its doors 6 years ago with the vision of bringing high quality wine production to the city and making it easily accesible for visitors and customers. Bruce and Brad Biehl of Eugene Wine Cellars were introduced to the wine industry in the late 1970's after working in agriculture during their youth. Bruce leased his first vineyard in 1978 and began developing independent vineyards in the Willamette Valley while earning his degree from Oregon State University in Agriculture Resource and Economics. Since graduating school, Bruce has developed over 140 vineyard operations in 13 counties within Oregon. Meanwhile, Brad Biehl graduated from UC Davis with a Viticulture and Oenology degree, then moved to Provence in Southern France to co-manage Chateau Revelette. Brad returned to Oregon in 1990 to work with Bruce developing vineyard sites. In 1991 Brad was recruited by Ed King to build one of Oregon's premiere wineries, King Estate. In 2000, Bruce and wife Bettina opened the doors of Eugene Wine Cellars. Bruce continues his management of independent vineyards, while Brother Brad continues his consulting work with King Estate and manages Eugene Wine Cellars' premium wine production. |
