About Us

pho_melPro­vid­ing a firm con­nec­tion between those who grow the grapes, those who make the wine, and those who then enjoy drink­ing the wine is a foun­da­tion of Melia Wines’ business.

While rais­ing kids, run­ning other busi­nesses, and being involved in the com­mu­nity of Port­land Ore­gon, Melissa and her hus­band Ken are the cur­rent own­ers and farm­ers of 31 acres in the spec­tac­u­lar Russ­ian River Val­ley of Sonoma County Cal­i­for­nia. This land has been in the Siebert fam­ily for many gen­er­a­tions, and con­tin­ues to be enjoyed by mem­bers of the sec­ond, third, and fourth gen­er­a­tions of the family.

The ranch includes 15 acres of pre­mier Russ­ian River Val­ley appel­la­tion Pinot Noir grapes, which are made into pre­mium wines by La Crema, Rod­ney Strong, Moss­back, Par­adise Ridge, River Road, and Ancient Oak Cel­lars winer­ies.  It is this con­nec­tion to the Sonoma County wine busi­ness that launched Melissa on her way to pro­vid­ing excep­tional wines – from her Sonoma County com­mu­nity and oth­ers – to mem­bers of her com­mu­nity in Port­land and beyond.

The per­sonal con­nec­tion to this vine­yard leads to a com­mit­ment to sup­port small, family-owned winer­ies and vine­yards that use sus­tain­able practices.
