In 2023, Balsall Creek launched with our first offerings to our avid following of wine enthusiasts. We also officially broke ground on the Balsall Creek Tasting Room on Calkins Lane in Newberg, Oregon. Our building and design teams are hard at work, aiming to have our doors officially open to the public in April 2024. We are looking for organized, self-motivated, results-driven individuals to deliver our brand message and present our wines. We are in search of driven, energetic people with infectious personalities to grow advocacy with our guests.
