Elk Cove Vineyard Tasting
Metairie
Wednesday, March 18, 6:30-8PM
$40 per person
Come enjoy this seated tasting of 8 Elk Cove wines complemented by artisanal cheese in our Metairie tasting room. Elk Cove Vineyards is one of Oregon's oldest and most respected wine producers. Founded in 1974 by Pat and Joe Campbell, their focus has always been to produce hand-crafted, estate-grown wines that can rival the best in the world. Winemaker Adam Godlee Campbell joined forces with his parents in 1995 to produce outstanding Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. Growing up among the vines on the Elk Cove Estate instilled a tremendous amount of respect for the soil in which the grapes are grown, therefore his role as winemaker is one of stewardship over intervention. In the winery, Adam employs gravity flow and gentle handling to protect the inherent qualities of the estate-grown fruit.
