In 2022, Jeanne Feldkamp and Dan Diephouse purchased 57 acres of land in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, a region known for its pinot noir and chardonnay. Feldkamp and Diephouse use both varietals for their label, Corollary, which began producing wine in 2017. But the winery is not known for its varietals; it’s known for its hyper-specific focus: sparkling wine. Earlier this year, the two finally opened Corollary’s sleek Amity tasting room, which exclusively serves bruts and bubbles made with Pacific Northwestern grapes. And while the company uses traditional methods to create their wines, there’s nothing conventional about Corollary’s venue.

Corollary’s tasting room sits in a prime spot for growing sparkling wine grapes. Cooled by the gust of ocean wind that blows through the Van Duzer Corridor, fruit ripens slowly and develops more acidity—a sought-after quality in bubbles.

Feldkamp and Diephouse wanted their tasting room to feel inventive and distinctive, while also highlighting the surrounding environment. Designed by Waechter Architecture and Feldkamp’s own interior design studio, Heirloom Modern, Corollary’s tasting room layout is open and airy, allowing the team to host tastings in a space that blurs the line between indoors and outdoors. That design choice can be tricky here, considering Oregon’s persistent rain; it has put a literal damper on Corollary’s outdoor tastings in the past, Feldkamp admits. To remedy, the building is equipped with overhead heaters and metal mesh curtains, shielding visitors from the wind and rain. And the indoor tasting area’s large sliding door remains open when the weather is nice. “Most of our tastings we want to do outdoors,” Feldkamp says.

The space’s emphasis on the surroundings is not only aesthetically beautiful; it’s also a way for Corollary to naturally integrate educational elements into their tastings. “It’s a good vantage point for explaining and pointing at some of our vineyards, like we when we're pouring a single vineyard wine,” Feldkamp says.

But inside the space—and inside their bottles—the bubbles remain a focal point. Tastings involve sparkling wines like the 2020 Cuvée One Brut, a high-scoring blend with floral, citrusy notes, or the 2020 Momtazi Carbonic Rosé, made with 100 percent pinot noir grapes. And, as a cute nod to their love of fizz, the bathroom walls are coated with images of bubbles, specifically bubbles from Corollary’s wine, photographed through a microscope and, in the words of Feldkamp, “just blown up like five million times.”

Corollary’s tasting room is open by appointment only at 6850 SE Sartore Rd in Amity.
