BOEDECKER CELLARS, LLC
PORTLAND, OR

Boedecker Cellars, LLC was established in 2003 by husband and wife team Stewart and Athena Boedecker. The company has been dedicated to producing high-quality wines with a focus on finesse and locality, rooted in Oregon's esteemed Willamette Valley. Returning from two years abroad in Europe, the Pacific Northwest natives initially honed their craft for five years at Carlton Winemakers Studio before constructing their winery in industrial Northwest Portland. Located close to downtown yet conveniently nearby vineyards, Boedecker Cellars continues to offer celebrated wines crafted by a dedicated team, often including Stewart and Athena themselves in cellar duties. Stewart gained expertise through volunteering at respected Oregon wineries and further pursued specialized education with winemaking classes at UC Davis and Chemeketa Community College. Together with Athena, they founded Boedecker Cellars, where she serves as the general manager, administrator, and a passionate 'cellar rat.' Under their vision, Boedecker Cellars produces over 6,500 cases annually of critically acclaimed wines, emphasizing Oregon's premier wine region. The winery's philosophy centers around community involvement and craftsmanship. Their team comprises family members, friends, and industry professionals who collaborate closely, especially during the labor-intensive harvest season. Ninety percent of their production is Pinot noir, reflecting Boedecker Cellars' commitment to a grape that maintains its intrigue for both the winemaker and the drinker. With meticulous attention to harvesting at optimal ripeness and using seasoned French oak barrels from Burgundy cooperages, each wine expresses complexity and balance. With accolades featuring wines like the Shea Vineyard 2014 Pinot noir and Athena 2014 Pinot noir among others, Boedecker Cellars is recognized for its distinct hand-crafted expressions. Located in Portland, Oregon under file number M09000002334, the company operates as a Florida Limited Liability Company (FORL). The winery retains close ties to its Pacific Northwest roots while producing wines that are renowned beyond regional borders.
