This year, Natalie’s Estate Winery reached a beautiful milestone: being named a 2025 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award winner and ranked 1 out of all attraction in Newberg, Oregon. This is the third straight year that the winery has won this recognition.

It’s a recognition that speaks volumes, not just about the quality of their wines, but about the quiet, consistent hospitality they’ve extended over the years. For those who have visited, it’s no surprise. A tasting at Natalie’s doesn’t feel like a tourist stop. It feels like coming home.

From all of us at Sacred Fire Creative, congratulations to the Natalie’s Estate Winery team. We are so thrilled to celebrate this moment with you.

A Family Story, Bottled and Shared

Natalie’s Estate Winery began as many great things do: with family at the center.

In 1999, Boyd and Cassandra Teegarden planted the first seeds of the winery in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Named after their daughter Natalie, the winery was more than a business. It was a legacy in the making.

Boyd brought his experience from the wine industry, while Cassandra applied her international business acumen. Together, they built something deeply personal. Not just a winery, but a place where connection, craftsmanship, and community would be the cornerstones.

From the beginning, they committed to doing things the hard but meaningful way: hand-harvested grapes, small-batch production, traditional European winemaking techniques. They didn’t chase trends. They built trust.

From a Quiet Hillside to a National Stage

What started as a humble estate in Newberg has grown into a name recognized across the Pacific Northwest. And now, the world.

Over the years, Natalie’s Estate has become known for its bold red varietals, including Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Barbera – wines that are more commonly associated with California, but lovingly crafted in Oregon with care and finesse. Their recent 25th anniversary saw the introduction of a vibrant new Sauvignon Blanc, another step in their journey evolving while staying true to their roots. 

Visitors today are welcomed not by hired staff, but by Boyd and Cassandra themselves, who still host tasting by appointment. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or a curious first-timer, every experience is personal, educational, and unhurried. It’s about relationship, not transaction.

This commitment to intimacy, quality, and generosity is what earned them the Travelers’ Choice Award, and why so many guests leave feeling like family.

Deeply Local, Proudly Connected

Beyond the wine, Natalie’s Estate Winery continues to invest in the community that shaped them.

Their partnerships with local artisans and nonprofits reflect a belief that business should serve more than just the bottom line. A portion of their wine label collections, such as the Big Sky Collection, featuring original Montana artwork, goes toward supporting river conservation charities.

Events like their wine-and-cheese pairings with Face Rock Creamery aren’t just indulgent. They’re a celebration of local craftsmanship and collaboration.

For Natalie’s Estate, wine has always been a vehicle for connection, creativity, and contribution.

A Toast to What Matters

It takes time to build a business like Natalie’s Estate Winery. Time, care, and a willingness to grow while staying grounded. Over 25 years, Boyd and Cassandra have done just that, nurturing not only vines, but relationships, traditions, and a reputation for excellence.

Being named Newberg’s #1 attraction on TripAdvisor is more than an accolade. It’s a reflection of what happens when you put people first and lead with heart.

At Sacred Fire Creative, we believe in honoring businesses that stay true to their story while uplifting others along the way. Natalie’s Estate Winery is one of those rare gems, and this recognition is richly deserved.
