About Us

Located in the heart of Oregon’s renowned Willamette Valley, Panther Creek Cellars has been captivating wine enthusiasts since 1986. For nearly four decades, we’ve been crafting Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay wines that capture the very essence of our region.

Our winemaker, Derek Einberger, is the creative force behind our distinctive blends and exceptional single-vineyard wines. With a deep-rooted passion for winemaking and a keen understanding of the Willamette Valley’s unique terroir, Derek’s expertise and vision drive our commitment to excellence. His meticulous approach and innovative techniques ensure that each wine not only reflects the personality of its vintage but also highlights the distinctive character of our vineyards. Under Derek’s stewardship, Panther Creek Cellars continues to push the boundaries of what Oregon Pinot Noir can be, making each bottle a testament to his dedication and craftsmanship.

Our wines are designed to shine both on their own and alongside a variety of dishes. We embrace the beauty of Pinot Noir in all its stages: from its youthful exuberance with ripe, sweet fruit to its mature, complex elegance as it ages. At Panther Creek, we’re passionate about crafting wines that offer enjoyment at every sip.
