Elk Cove Vineyards was founded in 1974 by Pat and Joe Campbell. Winemaker Adam Campbell joined forces with his parents in 1995 and Elk Cove remains proudly family owned.It's 1974. The Campbell family winds up a gravel road to an abandoned and overgrown homestead in the foothills of the Coast Range Mountains.Six year old Eartha asks "Where's the house?" "It's behind us!" Joe and Pat happily reply - referring to the trailer that would be their home for the next year. They are Oregon winegrowing pioneers.

Pat and Joe chose the property for its shallow soils, steep hilly terrain and beautiful views. After converting the existing homesteader's barn into a winery, they built a new home from reclaimed lumber.They invited friends to help on the weekends, enticing them with manual labor and wine futures. Joe worked nights in the ER, Pat managed the business, and they both worked long hours in the vineyards and made the wines together. There were fewer than ten wineries in Oregon at the time.
