In 1856, Charles F. Orvis founded the Orvis Company in Manchester, Vermont, offering superior fly-fishing equipment and priding himself on customer satisfaction and service. Today, Orvis is the trusted source of discovery and adventure in the natural world. For more than a century and a half, we have loved the wild, explored it, and protected it. At our core, we are a fly-fishing and wingshooting brand, inspired by nature, driven by curiosity, and fulfilled by adventure. As the world leader in fly fishing, we are also proud to share our offerings in a wide assortment of men’s and women’s sportswear, fine gifts and home furnishings, luggage, and travel accessories. We are an industry leader in dog beds and innovative dog products. Our culture of “We Love Dogs” inspires us to be a central source of education and information for all dog lovers. We also offer fine shotguns, gear, and technical apparel for wingshooting and sporting clays. Orvis sporting services include fishing and shooting schools, an international sporting and eco-travel agency, the Orvis-Endorsed network of lodges, outfitters, and guides, and Orvis-Endorsed hunting dog trainers and breeders. Each product and the services we offer is rooted in our heritage, inspired by our love of the wild, and backed by superior customer service and a 100% guarantee of satisfaction.

Privately owned by the Perkins family since 1965, Orvis is headquartered in beautiful Southwestern Vermont with major operations in Roanoke, Virginia, and the United Kingdom. Today Orvis is an international, multi-channel retailer with approximately 1,500 US employees. The Orvis blog (news.orvis.com) offers a wide variety of editorial and educational content to more than 2.5 million visitors per year, with extensive articles and videos about fly fishing, wingshooting, dogs, conservation, and more. Our Learning Center (howtoflyfish.orvis.com) provides the most comprehensive collection of online videos and resources devoted to teaching the world how to fly fish.

Several decades ago, Orvis embarked on a mission to make planning a world-class fly-fishing or wingshooting adventure easier. We found a unique way to do this by creating the Orvis-Endorsed Program.

The Orvis endorsement ensures that you will encounter unparalleled service, respect for natural resources, and an experienced, professional staff. With Orvis as your guide, you can rest assured that your next fly-fishing or wingshooting adventure will be one to remember.

“The standard that Orvis adheres to in their ratings and endorsements assures me that I will have a good experience.” — Peter C.

Our Orvis-Endorsed Partners represent the best fly-fishing and wingshooting lodges, outfitters, and guides in the most exceptional destinations throughout the world. These operations are vetted and selected by experts who bring their vast expertise in fly fishing, wingshooting, and travel to choose the finest experiences worldwide. Not only do we choose partners who are best-in-class, but we are proud to work only with partners who share Orvis’s values: authenticity, passion, personal connections, inviting environments, and a commitment to fun. In addition, it is vitally important that our Orvis-Endorsed Partners not only conduct themselves with the health of the natural environment top of mind but also serve as leaders for conservation.
