Ribbon Ridge Vineyard

Ribbon Ridge Vineyard is located about 8 miles Northwest of Newberg, Oregon, in the heart of Yamhill County's burgeoning wine region. The first phase of the vineyard was planted in 2001 with the first harvest completed in September of 2003.

In 1978, Dewey and Robin Kelly purchased a 41-acre parcel on Ribbon Ridge with the expressed intent of developing a vineyard. They were the first to buy property on Ribbon Ridge for a vineyard. It would be 22 years before the vision was realized, but it was never far from their thoughts.

Dewey and Robin have been active in the Oregon food and wine industry for over 25 years. Robin is currently executive chef at the Racquet Club in Portland, a position she has held since 1981. After ten years in the restaurant business in Oregon, as a chef, manager, and consultant, Dewey has spent the past fifteen years in international marketing roles with several high-tech companies. During that time, he continued to teach cooking classes, publish food and wine-related articles, and do lots and lots of research. (Be sure to check out their Food and Wine section for links, recipes, and articles.)

In 2000, they picked up where they left off 22 years before and began developing the vineyard property in earnest.
