About Bells Up Winery
Bells Up Winery is a micro-production estate in the Chehalem Mountains crafting wines with a musician's sensibility. Founded by Dave and Sara Specter, the winery's name and wine labels draw from the language of orchestral music, where "bells up" is a conductor's direction for horn players to project their sound outward. Dave, a former intellectual property attorney, brings the same precision to winemaking that he once applied to legal briefs, producing Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Syrah, and a Rhone-style white blend in quantities that rarely exceed 500 cases. Perched on the slope of Chehalem Mountain, Bells Up features a spectacular 270-degree view overlooking Newberg and its estate vineyard.
Tastings are by appointment only and deeply personal, typically hosted by Dave or Sara in their intimate estate tasting room. The experience consistently earns perfect 5.0 ratings from visitors who praise the warmth, knowledge, and genuine passion the Specters bring to every pour. Bells Up is the kind of winery that converts casual drinkers into devoted wine lovers.
