Our Staff

Amigos, I am Mauricio Collada Jr, Owner, and president of Cubanisimo Vineyards. I was born in Habana, Cuba, and my parents left everything they had to bring their 5 kids to start anew in the USA. My adopted country has given me many opportunities to work hard so as to be able to reach for success. I became a neurosurgeon, established a wonderful family, and fell in love with Oregon Pinot Noir, and the Oregon wine industry. Today I still enjoy the practice of neurosurgery, but also cherish the opportunity of making friends, and sharing our beautiful estate and our fabulous wines while celebrating my ethnicity.

Hi! I’m Debra Collada, owner, along with my wonderful husband, of Cubanisimo Vineyards. I wear two hats, that of managing Mauricio’s medical practice and also assisting with the management of our events here at Cubanisimo. I am excited for a wonderful future, meeting many new friends, and enjoying our wines together!

Hola Amigos! I am the Vineyard Manager at Cubanisimo. I have been here since I was 18 years old and couldn’t imagine being anywhere different. I take pride in each and every vine and get excited to watch each year come to fruition. One of my favorite things is knowing how much work goes into the vineyard and watching you all enjoy the finished product!

As the Winery Manager, I am proud to represent the spirit and hospitality of our vineyard. A native Oregonian, I have a deep-rooted appreciation for the Willamette Valley and all it offers. Though I am relatively new to the wine industry, my enthusiasm and commitment to learning continue to grow each day. I am passionate about helping guests discover wines they’ll love and creating a memorable and welcoming experience for every visitor.

Among all our exceptional wines, two of my personal favorites are the  2017 Estate Pinot Noir  and the Rosado—each embodying the quality and character that make Cubanisimo so special.
