BOEDECKER CELLARS, LLC
PORTLAND, OR

Boedecker Cellars, LLC sprang to life in 2003 when Stewart and Athena Boedecker teamed up with a shared vision for creating exceptional wines right from Oregon's cherished Willamette Valley. After soaking up winemaking knowledge across Europe, the dynamic duo, originally hailing from the Pacific Northwest, polished their craft at Carlton Winemakers Studio for five years. They then built their winery in Portland, perfectly balancing urban convenience with vineyard proximity. To this day, both Stewart and Athena often take part in the hands-on aspect of cellar duties, underscoring their passion for every bottle produced. Stewart's journey into winemaking was as much about local mentorship - volunteering at top Oregon wineries - as it was about enhancing his education with courses at UC Davis and Chemeketa Community College. Together, they've raised Boedecker Cellars to new heights under Athena's leadership as general manager and passionate cellar enthusiast. Their winery is renowned for producing over 6,500 cases every year of award-winning wines that captivate both critics and consumers alike. An impressive ninety percent of their output consists of the complex and beloved Pinot noir grape, showcasing Oregon's premier wine region with finesse. The Boedeckers are dedicated to harvesting grapes at just the right level of ripeness, using French oak barrels sourced from Burgundy coopers to ensure each bottle is a testament to balance and complexity. Throughout their journey, the Boedeckers have garnered acclaim for standout wines such as the Shea Vineyard 2014 Pinot noir and Athena 2014 Pinot noir. Based in Portland, Oregon with file number M09000002334, this Florida LLC keeps its heart firmly rooted in the Northwest while spreading its winemaking story across broader markets.
