Ambar Estate
At Ambar Estate, the first Regenerative Organic Certified® vineyard in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, every vine is tended with care and intention. Owners Robert Townsend and Pamela Turner established the estate out of a deep passion for responsible farming and a belief that great wine begins with healthy soil. Planted to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, the vineyard thrives through regenerative practices such as diverse cover crops that attract native pollinators, minimal tilling, and the integration of grazing animals. Under the craftsmanship of winemaker Bryan Weil, Ambar’s wines are guided gently from vineyard to bottle, expressing purity, energy, and a true sense of place.
