The Team

Doug Shumaker

Owner

Doug grew up on a farm outside Banks, Oregon, a small rural community in Western Washington County. Doug completed his calling to become a physician when he graduated from medical school in 1994. However, he was determined to return to his rural roots and bought a 5-acre property in North Plains in 2001 and eventually planted the vineyard in 2014.

Doug retired from the clinical practice of medicine after 23 years as a gastroenterologist and physician leader. He now devotes his time to growing Shumaker Vineyards while maintaining his values of land stewardship and community involvement.

Halle MacKenzie (née Shumaker)

Director of Sales and Marketing

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to be a part of the ShuVin team. I’m Doug and Melissa’s oldest daughter and have been helping out over the years but officially joined the team in 2024. I graduated from Gonzaga University in 2018 with a Marketing and Finance degree. After 5 years in the corporate world, I left in July 2023 after having my first baby, Carter, to stay home with him (and our Mini Goldendoodle Marvin). Outside of work, I love traveling, going to breweries with friends, watching sports, skiing, reading, and am attempting to make my own sourdough bread.

I’m so proud of what my parents have created here so far. I truly believe in our product. I might be a little biased, but I really think we make some of the best wine and I can’t wait to see where the journey will take us!
