About the Business
Bells Up Winery, located at 27895 Northeast Bell Road in Newberg, Oregon, is a unique institution that combines elements of a food and liquor store with a tourist attraction. Visitors can book a private tasting experience with Winemaker Dave Specter, who guides them through a full-sensory journey of Bells Up's current wines. This experience is exclusively for one group at a time, providing an intimate and personalized setting.
The story behind Bells Up Winery is one of following one's passion and finding happiness in life. After a successful but unfulfilling career as a corporate tax attorney, Dave Specter had a mental and physical breakdown that led him to question the meaning of success. With the support of his wife Sara, Dave turned his basement hobby of winemaking into a full-time pursuit, ultimately establishing Bells Up Winery in 2013.
The name "Bells Up" is a nod to Dave's background as a French horn player, symbolizing a moment of intensity and passion in classical music. The winery, perched on Chehalem Mountain with stunning views of the Willamette Valley, produces approximately 600 cases of Oregon-grown varietals annually. All wines are sold directly from the tasting room, creating a direct connection between the winemakers and visitors.
For a truly memorable and immersive wine experience, Bells Up Winery offers a blend of passion, expertise, and personal touch that sets it apart from traditional wineries. Book your private tasting today to discover the unique story and flavors of Bells Up wines.
Reviews
"Absolutely a must-visit winery. The tastes they've accomplished with the same varietals being sold everywhere are extraordinary. Both the owners are fun, down-to-earth, and such a joy to talk to. The property is beautiful (even after an ice storm!). If you are visiting from out of town and are looking for a high quality winery, or if you are local and haven't tried this place yet, I cannot recommend it enough. We had a total blast and are already planning our return trip."
"We did a couples wine trip to Oregon in February of 2023 and Bells Up was clearly one of the highlights. Our tasting with Dave & Sara was truly enlightening and there were no questions that we could ask that did not include an insightful answer. The wines we tasted were awesome and are now a favorite part of our wine cellar stock. ( We love the musical theme to the wine names) We will go see these great people every time we go out to Willamette Valley wine country!"
"Absolutely delicious tasting wine at a very small winery of only 10 acres. The owner and his wife are the only two employees and do everything from planting vines to fermenting the wine. We very much appreciated this as it added a very personalized contribution to the creation of the wines Bells Up Winery sells. The owner creates a very welcoming atmosphere for the wine tasting and is extremely happy to answer any questions about the wine, Bells Up’s history, or even about his personal life. I highly recommend visiting for a tasting or even just ordering a bottle of my favorite, the Firebird, to try for yourself."
"Schedule a private tasting at Bells Up Winery and you won't be disappointed. The Specters provide a unique experience that builds a long-term relationship with wine and with them. I learned how to describe wine in a new way that made sense to me. This was a memorable event."
"Bells Up is a fantastic small winery. Dave and Sara are equally fantastic and provide a very intimate and personalized visit and tour. My wife and I stumbled upon Bells Up celebrating our anniversary and fell in love with the wine and their story. Can’t wait to visit again!"
