If you’re looking for a wine experience that’s anything but ordinary, Abbey Creek is the place to be. Owned by Bertony Faustin, Oregon’s first Black winemaker, this spot is all about shaking things up and making wine more fun, welcoming, and full of personality. For Bertony, it’s not just about the wine, it’s about creating a space that feels real, unfiltered, and completely authentic. “I wanted to build this space as if I was the only one who would ever see it. I built it for me,” he says. And you can feel that energy in every detail, from the carefully crafted wines to the music bumping through the speakers and the people who come through the doors.
This isn’t your typical wine tasting room. There’s no hushed, fancy atmosphere or intimidating wine talk…just a place where you can be yourself, enjoy incredible wine, and have a great time doing it. Hip hop fills the space, winemaking happens right in front of you, and the whole vibe is laid-back and welcoming. Whether you’re a wine aficionado or someone who just wants to sip on something good without all the pretense, Abbey Creek is the kind of place that makes you feel at home.
But what really makes this place special is the passion behind it. Bertony didn’t just get into winemaking to follow tradition, he got into it to break it. He brings his own perspective, his own voice, and his own style to an industry that can sometimes feel exclusive or old-school. And that’s what makes Abbey Creek stand out. Every bottle tells a story, every visit feels like an experience, and every moment spent here reminds you that wine isn’t just about what’s in your glass—it’s about the people, the culture, and the energy behind it.
Whether you’re there for the wine, the atmosphere, or just to try something different, Abbey Creek is the kind of place that sticks with you long after you leave. It’s wine with soul, and it’s well worth the visit.
