Our Story

Our Story

Tucked in the heart of Southern Oregon, Cooper Ridge Vineyard was established in 2008 with a passionate goal: to craft limited production, premium Oregon wines. What once were walnut orchards has now transformed into thriving vineyards, producing award-winning Merlot, Viognier, Syrah, Tempranillo, Riesling, Grüner Veltliner, and Pinot Noir.

​

In May 2015, the dream was realized with the opening of the Cooper Ridge Vineyard Tasting Room. Since then, it has become a beloved haven for the local community and visitors alike, offering a serene setting to savor exquisite wines while enjoying breathtaking panoramic views of the Umpqua Valley. It’s a place where cherished memories are made, and new friendships are formed.

​

Owners, Steve and Paula Wilson are originally from San Diego and have two children, Emily and Ben. They discovered the enchanting landscape and welcoming community of Roseburg on a summer visit searching for the perfect winery to call their own. Steve’s love for wine extended beyond the glass, leading him to pursue wine education and hands-on experience in local wineries. Paula, an educator, enthusiastically supported Steve’s dream, which quickly became her own. Together, they embarked on this exciting journey, turning a shared passion into a cherished reality.

​

At Cooper Ridge Vineyard, we are more than just a winery. We are a family, a community, and a testament to the beauty and joy that great wine brings to life. Join us and become a part of our story.

Cheers!

Steve, Paula, Emily and Ben Wilson
