ABOUT US

Maypop Wine Co is the vision and work of Vince Kelsey & Shea Guevara. With a combined 18 years of professional winemaking experience, the couple both grew up tending vineyards and making wine with the patriarchs of their families in California. From agrarian roots, they both consider themselves climate refuges and have settled in the Willamette Valley with a profound sense of abundance and appreciation for this land of milk and honey.

Each Maypop wine is a celebration of the relatively underground varietals largely outshined by the regions storied Pinot Noir. While Pinot Noir put the valley on the global spotlight, which is another reason to celebrate, the Willamette region provides ideal growing conditions and incredibly unique microclimates for many varietals.Maypop has chosen to showcase those, hoping with time and the continuing diversity of plantings that our highly mono-varietal valley will evolve into an even greater success story.

2024 was the inaugural vintage of Maypop, with the opportunity to work with varietals such as Albariño, Gewurtztraminer, Riesling, Chardonnay, Gamay as well as cider apples and mead. The scope of winemaking includes methode champagnoise, both neutral barrel and stainless vessels, and whole cluster fermentation.
