About Elk Cove Vineyards
Elk Cove Vineyards was founded in 1974 by Pat and Joe Campbell. Winemaker Adam Campbell joined forces with his parents in 1995 and Elk Cove remains proudly family owned.
Pat’s great-grandfather was a Swiss immigrant to Helvetia, Oregon, who grew grapes and made wine prior to prohibition. Her parents were orchardists in Parkdale, a small farming community at the foot of Mount Hood. Her father Lew, upon seeing his daughter’s new land, overgrown with abandoned prune and hazelnut trees, commented “With this soil and no water, I don’t think you can grow anything here – except maybe winegrapes.”
Pat met Joe Campbell when they were both teenagers picking strawberries for spending money. He was a small town kid from Hood River, Oregon, whose smarts landed him at Harvard, then Stanford Medical School. Joe used his academic background to teach himself the science of winemaking, collaborating with other fledgeling winegrowers to learn from their achievements and struggles.
Pat and Joe didn’t know it at the time, but they were pioneers of a new industry in Oregon. 50 years later, there are over 1000 wineries in Oregon. The wine business now ranks as one of Oregon’s top agricultural industries.
Although Pat and Joe are retired now, their vision lives on through their son Adam. Adam is now responsible for making Elk Cove’s wines. He now oversees six vineyard sites with 380 planted acres. That’s over 10 times the total acreage of all Oregon vineyards when Pat and Joe planted that very first vine in 1974.
The Campbells’ goal has always been hand-crafted, Estate-grown cool climate wines that rival the best in the world. As a winery their sustainability practices are second to none. As a second-generation winemaker and a 5th-generation Oregon farmer, Adam Campbell is proud to continue that tradition.
