Rooted in Nature. Guided by the Sea.
Maren is a modern, feminine wine brand inspired by the elements — quiet strength, graceful simplicity, and the sea’s calm rhythm.
Minimal intervention, maximum expression.
A Different Kind of Wine Brand
We believe wine should be elegant without effort, artful without pretense, and made for every table. Our approach is sensory-forward, sustainable, and rooted in clarity — letting nature lead the way.
Our team
Greg Bybee
Greg Bybee has spent over fourteen years in the wine industry and believes in the potential of wines from the Pacific Northwest. Catching the wine bug in 2008, he packed his bags for California, where he spent five years at Rochioli Vineyards in the cellar and tasting room, learning about how world-class Pinot is made. He was a founding member of Vivino’s e-commerce business and the wine curator for eight years, selecting wines for the community. This is where Greg, working with the Vivino data, understood what wine lovers really want from their Oregon wines. He then jumped into wine making full steam.
Ryan Kelly-Burnett
Ryan brings a global perspective to his craft, shaped by wine making stints at Antica Napa Valley, Mud House in New Zealand, and a leading estate in Tasmania. His hands-on experience across both hemispheres refined his understanding of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from vineyard to barrel. Today, as Winemaker at Dominio IV, he works alongside Patrick Reuter, who trained under Burgundy legend Armand Rousseau, deepening Ryan’s connection to site-driven, elegant wines. His approach blends New World precision with Old World restraint, resulting in wines that are expressive, balanced, and unmistakably Oregon
