A foggy sunrise overlooking Compris Vineyard.

Dear Compris Family and Friends,

As winter settles in and another year comes to a close, we find ourselves looking back with full hearts. We’re grateful for the people we’ve met, the experiences shared, the places this journey has taken us, the causes we’ve had the privilege to support, and, most of all, for each other. Every moment has shaped us and enriched our lives in ways we continue to appreciate.

Five years into this wine-growing path, the joy of tending our vines and guiding each wine into bottle still feels fresh. Living among the vines and welcoming you into a small piece of our home is something we never take for granted. Thank you - to our wine club family, guests, tour partners, lodging partners, industry friends, family, friends, and our small but mighty team. Your support and encouragement make it possible for us to do what we love.

Wine has a way of bringing people together from every walk of life. Our stories may differ, but they meet over a shared glass, weaving new memories and new paths. As you gather with friends, family, and coworkers this season, we hope you’ll pause, raise a glass, look one another in the eyes, and toast with gratitude. And if you need a place to gather, we’d love to be that space - take a short venture into wine country, soak in the quiet of the landscape, and enjoy the warmth inside.

Our new tasting flight has a wine for everyone this season, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Thank you for supporting our small vineyard and big passion - it truly means the world to us.

With gratitude,

Dru and Erin

Pouring Purpose Into Every Bottle

At Compris Vineyard, we know that life is best when shared—whether it’s a great bottle of wine with friends or a warm home with a four-legged companion. This quarter, we’re raising our glass in support of Newberg Animal Shelter, a local no-kill shelter dedicated to giving animals the care, compassion, and second chance they deserve.

The shelter relies on donations, adoption fees, and community support to continue its mission of placing animals in loving homes, providing pet food for local food banks, and ensuring every adoptable pet is spayed or neutered. This month, a portion of proceeds from every bottle of our As One Pinot Noir will go directly to Newberg Animal Shelter.

Just as every vintage tells a story, every animal waiting for adoption has one too—and you can help write their next chapter. Please consider visiting, donating, or volunteering to support this important work. Donate Now!
