The Story

Out of Necessity is a family-run Oregon winery rooted in the Willamette Valley, with a deep commitment to their land, their craft, and their story. Founded in 2014 on Ribbon Ridge, where Camille and Merritt Kain organically farm their estate vineyard and raise their family among historic barns and forested land. Their 2021 and 2022 vintages offer expressive wines shaped by a philosophy of thoughtful, low-intervention winemaking.

The Values

Out of Necessity is rooted in land stewardship, authenticity, and intention. Guided by sustainable, organic farming, they produce wines that reflect the true character of their Ribbon Ridge estate. Every vine is family-farmed with deep respect for the ecosystem, grounded in the belief that healthy soils yield the most compelling wines. With minimal intervention in the winery, they honor the voice of each vintage. Out of Necessity is built on integrity, care, and the conviction that exceptional wine is grown, not manufactured.
From the winery
Welcome. At Out of Necessity, we believe great wine comes from the honest work of farming and family. We see winegrowing as an act of both humility and opportunity—often doing things the hard way because we believe the wine is better for it. From planting vines to bottling wines, we invite you into our process and our story. Thank you for being part of it.
