Our Team
Tasting House Lead/Cellar Master - Avery Javier
Avery entered the Willamette Valley wine scene in 2021, bringing with him a background in viticulture and enology, along with winemaking experience in New York’s Finger Lakes AVA, and Australia. Drawn by Oregon’s remarkable ability to consistently produce world-class vintages of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and sparkling wines, he was equally captivated by the state’s stunningly diverse landscapes. What truly made Oregon home was the welcoming, collaborative community of peers who embraced his passion. Avery finds joy in sharing memorable experiences through wine, food, and meaningful conversation. He looks forward to being part of your visit to Anacréon Winery!
Winemaker Anna Matzinger
Anna Matzinger is an esteemed Oregon winemaker, who brings a unique point of view along with a depth of experience to Anacréon. Anna’s pursuit to understand the intricacies of wine as a reflection of place and what it means to craft intentioned and expressive wines began in California in the mid-1990s. Her journey led to wineries and vineyards in New Zealand and Australia and ultimately to Oregon’s Willamette Valley where she has been mastering her craft for over two decades. Notably, much of that time was spent as winemaker and general manager for Archery Summit whose wines during Anna’s tenure garnered numerous accolades and helped to elevate our region’s recognition for producing distinctive, world class wines.
In addition to collaborating with Danell and Kipp on the Anacreon wines, Anna crafts wines under her own label Matzinger Davies together with her winemaker husband Michael Davies.
