the hearts behind big table farm
- meet the people who make it all happen -
brian marcy
- winemaker -
In 1996 Brian worked his first harvest. Having studied fermentation science at Davis, he took to the process of wine-making easily and loved it.
Brian lived and worked in Napa and Sonoma, for 10 years before He and Clare took the leap to come to Oregon.
Brian's time in Oregon has been informed by living and breathing not only wine-making but farming here in the Willamette Valley. This close relationship with his farm and our vineyards has been an important contribution to Brian’s ability to optimize each vintage.
Brian is a relentless artist in his diligent pursuit of perfection, always striving to improve our wines each year.
clare carver
- artist and farmer -
In addition to partnering with Brian to market the wine and manage their 70 acres, Clare is also a painter and wine label designer.
Her fine art speaks for itself and can be found at www.clarecarver.com
Clare's first passion is her painting, but she finds great joy in caring for all the animals on the farm and working with her draft horses.
