Welcome pageOur WinesWine making philosophyContact Us

Welcome to Major Creek Cellars home page.  Our wines are made from the best grapes in Oregon and Washington, using traditional methods. We emphasize gentle extraction, and a balance in the wines. 

Major Creek Cellars is ideally situated between the great vineyards of Oregon and Washington, and in a newly minted American Viticultural Area, the Columbia Gorge. Major Creek itself is a tributary of the Columbia River that dug a deep canyon on the north side of the river directly south of Mt Adams, near White Salmon, Washington. The winery is located on a plateau above Major Creek and the Columbia River and is afforded dramatic views of Mt Adams and Mt Hood.


We produce mostly red wine such as Oregon Pinot Noir, Syrah and Cabernet Franc. These are varietals that demand attention but bring great rewards in flavor and in bouquet.  We also make rose and occasionally merlot, cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay if the vintage is good. Unlike other wineries, we concentrate on only a few cuvees each year to give each wine our full attention as it develops.

See "Our Wines" for our latest releases: Rose and Cabernet Franc.
