Women in Wine Collection

Please join us in celebrating Women's History Month as we honor Oregon wine pioneer Betty O’Brien, who founded Elton Vineyard alongside her husband, Dick O'Brien.

In 1983, Betty convinced her father, Elton Ingram, to plant grapevines on their family farm, laying the foundation for what would become a 60-acre vineyard on the eastern slopes of the Eola-Amity Hills. Today, Elton Vineyard is recognized as one of Oregon’s premier sites for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

In celebration of the women who have shaped Oregon wine, enjoy 15% off our Women in Wine Collection through March 31st (Owners receive 30% off and Members 25% off) plus complimentary UPS Ground Shipping to a single address in the continental United States.

2022 Elton Pinot Noir
New Release

Sourced from old vine plantings at our Elton Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills founded in 1983 by Dick and Betty O'Brien, a former schoolteacher and Executive Director of the Santiam Girl Scouts.

2022 Hannah Pinot Noir
Wine Club & Owner Exclusive

Sourced from the Hannah Vineyard adjacent to Tualatin Estate, this site is protected by coastal mountains making this area warmer and drier than the rest of the Willamette Valley.

2022 Elton Florine Pinot Noir

Made exclusively from a single block at Elton Vineyard planted in 2000 and named New Century Block, this block features tighter vine spacing creating competition among the vines to create small yields of high-quality Pinot Noir.

2022 Elton Self-Rooted Pinot Noir

As part of our Oregon mission to dedicate boutique brands on some of Oregon's most intriguing vineyard sites, we created Elton to share the legacy of the vineyard founded by Dick and Betty O'Brien in 1983. Our Self-Rooted Pinot Noir is sourced from their plantings.

2023 Ingram Pinot Noir

The vineyard is planted in deep volcanic Jory soils on east slopes that benefit from gentle morning sun in the Eola Hills. The wine is named in honor of Elton and Peggy Ingram, who reestablished the homestead farm in the 1950s, and was made exclusively as an on-premise offering. The vineyard is planted with 667, 777, 943 and Pommard Pinot Noir clones.

2023 Elton Chardonnay
91 points - Paul Gregutt

After a trip to Germany in 1980, where they stayed with a family that grew wine grapes, Dick and Betty O’Brien returned to Oregon inspired and eager to plant a vineyard of their own.

Betty’s parents, Elton and Peggy Ingram, turned over five acres of the farm for them to plant grapevines. They planted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in 1983. Elton Vineyard grew over the years from five acres to more than 60 acres.
