Flâneur

Flâneur Winery & Vineyards was established in 2013 by Marty Doerschlag. Flâneur, a term used to describe leisurely wanderers in Paris in the mid-nineteenth century by renowned poet Charles Baudelaire, encapsulates the idea that the mind functions best at a slow pace, and that curiosity can uncover a life of significance. It was that aspirational, connoisseurs approach to life that resonated with Marty and led him to establish roots in the wine industry in Oregons Willamette Valley.In 2016, Flaneur Wines advanced their winemaking program by adding Grant Coulter as the Winemaker & Director of Vineyards. Prior to joining the team, Grant spent nine years as the award-winning winemaker for Beaux Freres Winery where he developed a large following and crafted the #3 Wine in the World in Wine Spectators 2016 Top 100. His experience, along with his never-ending creativity and innovative approach, make him one of the most exciting rising stars in the Willamette Valley wine industry.Now in their eighth year of production, Flaneur Winery & Vineyards was built with a focus on innovation, authenticity and hospitality.Today, they craft wines from 44 acres of organically dry-farmed estate vineyards; the Flanerie Vineyard in Ribbon Ridge and the La Belle Promenade Vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains. In 2019 they opened Flaneur Wines at the Carlton Grain Elevator to further advance their place as a premier winemaking operation and provider of truly bespoke hospitality in Oregon, and beyond.
