Gavin Joll

Gavin has worked in the Oregon wine industry since 2004. A native Oregonian growing up in Springfield, he graduated from Willamette University and began a career in the financial services industry. While helping people with retirement planning during the week, he moonlighted at a local vineyard on the weekends. This experience sparked a curiosity and passion for viticulture, winemaking, and the overall wine business. After evaluating his future, he accepted a management position with a small, start-up winery in Oregon’s Dundee Hills; leading to a successful thirteen-year tenure of leading, developing and growing the brand. He has also volunteered as a board member for the Dundee Hills Winegrower’s Association and has served as an industry consultant, assisting wineries with strategic planning, marketing, and vineyard development.
