Compris Vineyard is a labor of love founded by Dru and Erin Allen, a couple whose journey into the world of wine began not with grand aspirations but with a shared passion sparked in 2002 at a friend’s wine garage. This serendipitous experience set them on a path that would take them from discovering beautiful wines and unforgettable bottle shops to cultivating lasting friendships—and ultimately, founding their own estate winery in the heart of Oregon’s Willamette Valley.
It was the warmth and authenticity of the Willamette Valley wine community that captured Dru and Erin’s hearts. The wines, as rich and complex as the people they met, resonated deeply with them. In 2020, amidst the uncertainty of the pandemic, they discovered a 12.5-acre vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains that would become Compris. With Don and Vicki, the vineyard's original owners, passing the torch with great care, Dru and Erin took on the mantle of stewardship, continuing the legacy of mindful farming and sustainability that was at the core of the land’s care.
Compris is a celebration of connection—between people, land, and the craft of winemaking. Our mission is simple: to create exceptional wines in a welcoming space that invites everyone to feel included, understood, and valued. We believe wine, much like music, is a universal language—a catalyst for joy, shared experiences, and meaningful connections.
At Compris, we’re intentionally unconventional. We’re not bound by tradition but inspired by it, pushing boundaries and exploring new ways of experiencing wine. Whether you’ve been a wine enthusiast for years or are just starting your journey, we want to welcome you to our 12.5-acre vineyard. Let us share our story, our passion, and our unique wines with you. Make some new friends, enjoy the beauty of our estate, and taste something a little different.
