Philosophy
At Duck Pond Cellars, we believe that truly great wine is an honest reflection of its origin—shaped by the land, nurtured by sustainable practices, and crafted with care for the people who enjoy it. Since our founding in 1993 in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, we’ve stayed true to a simple yet powerful philosophy: to create wines that honor nature, express purity, and celebrate balance.
Our approach starts in the vineyard. We work with pesticide-free and sustainably farmed grapes, many from long-term grower partners who share our commitment to ecological harmony. Every decision we make—from soil health to water conservation—is driven by our respect for Oregon’s pristine environment and the belief that wine should be a transparent expression of place.
In the cellar, we practice low-intervention winemaking to let the varietals speak naturally. We avoid unnecessary additives and rely on techniques that protect the integrity of the fruit. Every bottle of Duck Pond is made with intention, integrity, and an eye toward the future.
We are proud to be a Clean Label Project Purity Award recipient, which reinforces our dedication to transparency, lab-tested purity, and consumer trust—values that we believe are just as important as flavor.
Our wines—from bright and expressive Pinot Gris to elegant, layered Pinot Noir—are made to be enjoyed by many: easy to love, easy to understand, and deeply rooted in the character of Oregon. Whether you're sharing a bottle with friends or enjoying a quiet moment with a glass, Duck Pond wines are crafted to elevate everyday experiences with authenticity and care.
For us, wine is more than a beverage—it’s a reflection of values, a connection to place, and a commitment to doing right by the earth and each other. That’s the Duck Pond way.
