Penner-Ash Wine Cellars

In 1998, Lynn and Ron Penner-Ash founded Penner-Ash Wine Cellars in the Northern Willamette Valley’s Yamhill-Carlton sub-AVA. The pair built their LIVE (Low Input Viticulture & Enology) Certified sustainable gravity-flow winery surrounded by a 15-acre Estate Vineyard. The building seems to spring from the land itself – a reflection of the values, spirit and winemaking philosophy of Penner-Ash. Thanks to longstanding relationships with grower neighbors and friends, Penner-Ash sources fruit from the Willamette Valley’s most distinguished vineyard sites. Today, Lynn works side by side with winemaker, Kate Ayres, who has been entrusted to carry forward the longstanding relationships with grower neighbors and friends that Lynn has fostered over the past twenty years.
