Mac and Zeke came to Oregon in search of honest wine — something wild, soulful, and unmistakably Oregon. What they found wasn’t just great grapes, but a community of winemakers as bold and down-to-earth as the land itself. Bearboat is a tribute to that spirit.
It’s not just the cool maritime climate or volcanic soil that makes Oregon wine magic — it’s the people who craft it, season after season, with heart and grit. We bottle that magic. No fluff, no fuss — just really good wine made by folks who care.
We hope you enjoy the ride.
– Mac, Zeke & the Bearboat crew
Our wines begin where the mountains meet the mist — in vineyards rooted in volcanic soil and surrounded by wild, untamed beauty. These vines grow with a quiet resilience, shaped by Oregon’s rugged landscape and independent spirit.
We work with a winemaker who was raised on this land and understands its rhythm. He doesn’t force the fruit — he guides it. With minimal intervention and deep respect for the craft, he allows the grapes to express the true character of where they’re grown. The result? Wines that speak for themselves. Honest. Vibrant. Unmistakably Oregon.
