About Et Fille Wines
Et Fille Winery is a family-driven winery rooted in heritage, craftsmanship, and connection. Founded in 2003 by a father and daughter winemaking team, the name Et Fille meaning “and daughter” reflects both its origins and its enduring legacy. Today, the winery is led by second-generation winemaker Jessica, who creates elegantly complex wines inspired by her late father’s vision and the promise of future generations.
Et Fille crafts its wines from sustainably farmed vineyards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, with a commitment to thoughtful winemaking that honors both the land and the people behind it. The winery is dedicated to sustainability, community engagement, and advancing diversity and equity within the wine industry.
