Z'IVO
Z’IVO is named in honor of the Zelko family Czech heritage. In Czech, the word means “alive” so Z’IVO can be interpreted as wines that are vibrant. Led by slightly crazed winemaker John Zelko, Z'IVO has been quietly producing world class Pinot Noir in Oregon's famed Willamette Valley for over a decade. Recently we have added some White wines from Oregon and Washington.

Fun Fact?
The Zelkos preferred the wines from what is now the Eola-Amity Hills AVA because they liked “the gutsy, earthy backbone and black fruit flavors.” Among the many winemakers sprinkled throughout these hills, there is a love of the Earth and a deep desire for sustainability and preservation of our environment. Z'IVO's estate vineyard is LIVE certified. LIVE (Low Input Viticulture and Enology) requires sustainable farming practices, such as reducing, or eliminating, the amount of raw materials (water, fertilizer, chemicals, pesticides) used in vineyard and winery production. It is a whole farm certification (based on a points system) that is a multi-year certification process.
