Celebrating Three Years of Excellence in Organizational Culture & Leadership
September 29, 2025 (Dayton, OR) — The Stoller Wine Group is proud to announce it has been awarded a 2025 Top Workplace by The Oregonian, the only winery to make the list. This is the third consecutive year the family-owned company has earned this honor, based on employee feedback from a third-party survey administered by Energage LLC. The confidential survey measures the employee experience, including employees feeling “Respected & Supported,” “Enabled to Grow,” and “Empowered to Execute.”
The Stoller Wine Group’s year has been defined by milestones focusing on themes of growth and resilience. The company expanded its hospitality footprint with the opening of two new tasting room locations, advanced its family of brands by acquiring Elouan, and successfully introduced a bold new identity for Chemistry, all while keeping employee engagement and satisfaction at an all-time high. Guided by the legacy of its late Founder and Proprietor, Bill Stoller, the company continues to embrace his challenge to think in centuries, not years, which anchors the organization’s long-term vision and commitment to creating a culture of innovation, excellence, and leadership.
“Bill firmly believed success always comes down to our people and we take pride in creating a space where their voices are heard,” said Stoller Wine Group President Gary Mortensen. “To be acknowledged by The Oregonian based on our employees’ feedback is a testament to the values that guide us and the relentless pursuit of collaboration that connects us.”
With every bottle produced, Stoller strives to uphold the pillars of quality, sustainability, and community that have defined the organization’s growth. The dedication to these principles is reflected in perennial recognitions from the Portland Business Journal’s Most Admired Companies, inclusion on USA Today’s 10Best Tasting Rooms Readers’ Choice Poll, and placement on The Oregonian’s Top Workplaces list. Beyond hospitality and company culture, the organization continues to lead in corporate accountability and sustainability, with Stoller Family Estate’s Reserve Winery being the first LEED Gold-certified winemaking facility in the world, and the portfolio maintaining B Corp, LIVE, and Salmon-Safe certifications.
Together, these achievements reflect Stoller’s enduring legacy and vision for the future, continuing to shape what it means to be a leader in Oregon’s wine industry. The Stoller Wine Group family of brands, including Stoller Family Estate, Chehalem, Chemistry, Elouan, History, Stoller Swing, and Canned Oregon, holds the #4 spot in the Oregon supplier business and is consistently growing faster than most of its peers, according to the U.S. Nielsen data for the 52 weeks ending August 9, 2025.
