About Kramer Vineyards - Discover the Wonders of Wine Country

Welcome to Kramer Vineyards, a cherished and enduring family-owned winery in the picturesque northern Willamette Valley wine country. With a rich legacy spanning over four decades, our captivating story traces back to 1971 when Trudy and Keith Kramer embarked on their transformative journey into winemaking. Driven by an unyielding passion and unwavering commitment, they set out to find the perfect vineyard property to become the foundation of their winemaking legacy.

In the early 1980s, their quest led them to the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Willamette Valley, where the heart of Oregon's renowned wine region beats. Amongst the rolling hills and vine-covered slopes, they discovered the extraordinary Yamhill-Carlton AVA—an acclaimed appellation known for its exceptional wines and distinct terroir. It was here, amidst the breathtaking beauty of this cherished land, that the Kramer family's vision began to take root.

Harnessing the immense potential of this remarkable terroir, characterized by ancient marine sediment and the tempering influence of the nearby Coast Range, the Kramer Vineyards flourished. Our vines, carefully nurtured in this idyllic setting, draw sustenance from the fertile soils, crafting unparalleled character and finesse wines. Each bottle of Kramer wine tells a captivating tale, reflecting the rich tapestry of the Willamette Valley wine region and the meticulous craftsmanship of our winemaking team.

Today, we invite you to embark on a journey with us that transcends time and captures the essence of Kramer Vineyards. Immerse yourself in the beauty of our vineyards, explore our exquisite wines, and savor the stories woven into every sip.

Sparkling Wine Excellence - Beyond Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay

At Kramer Vineyards, we pride ourselves in crafting exceptional sparkling wines. Our portfolio showcases our expertise in three distinct styles:

1. Méthode Traditionelle: Inspired by the illustrious grower-producer champagnes, we follow in their footsteps, utilizing the same grape varieties and traditional production techniques. The result is a collection of sparkling wines that exude elegance and finesse, capturing the essence of the valley winery.
2. Modern Method: Our force-carbonated Celebrate wines embody the modern approach to sparkling wine production. Crafted from select varietals, these wines are harvested at optimal maturity, bypassing traditional bottle fermentation. The result is a range of sparkling wines that are vibrant, fruity, and accessible, perfectly complementing our valley winery experience.
3. Méthode Ancestrale: Embracing the rich history of sparkling wine, our pét-nat (pétillant naturel) represents the oldest style of the craft. Made with great care and reverence, our pét-nat captures the essence of fermentation. Crafted from Pinot Gris, this rustic and expressive wine delights the senses with its effervescence and alluring aromas.
