Bryan Weil
Winemaker
Bryan’s progressive path to winemaking was one that allowed him to combine a passion for food and wine with his acute precision in science and craftsmanship. Bryan admires the diversity of the Willamette Valley and his precision and keen judgement show in the end result.
Born and raised in Salem, Oregon, Bryan began his career in culinary school, where his appreciation and love for Oregon Pinot Noir flourished. Bryan earned a degree in Enology and Viticulture with a minor in Chemistry from Oregon State University. His experiences in the vineyard and cellar span three continents, with work at Domaine Serene, Tyee Wine Cellars, Rain Dance Vineyards, Hogue Cellars, and Kim Crawford. As Winemaker at Alexana Winery, Bryan assisted in the completion of Alexana’s sister winery, Corazon Del Sol, in Argentina. In addition to his work at Ambar, Bryan is Managing Partner and Winemaker at Vinovate Custom Wine Services.
