Audeant Winery

Founded in 2016 by Teal Walker and Andrew Riechers, Audeant Winery is a passion-driven project born from their love of Oregon’s Willamette Valley and its exceptional wines. With Andrew’s extensive winemaking experience—from Antica Terra (Oregon) to Summerland Winery (California), Burn Cottage (New Zealand), and Domaine Naudin Ferrand (Burgundy)—the duo sources fruit from prestigious vineyards like Luminous Hills, Carlisle’s Crest, Nysa, and Cherry Grove, farming 6 hectares of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay organically with a focus on old vines and long-term quality. The name Audeant, meaning “may they dare” in Latin, reflects their bold, risk-taking philosophy in winemaking and life, as they strive to become a top-tier producer of benchmark Oregon wines. Discover their extraordinary Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay—crafted for legacy, not shortcuts.
