The mission of the Willamette Valley Wineries Association is to promote, preserve and advance the prestige of Oregon's Willamette Valley AVA and its wines through the support of our members, community and environment. The Willamette Valley AVA is universally recognized as the premier New World winegrowing region.
Every year 270 hand-selected members of the wine trade come to the Willamette Valley for three days of unparalleled wine education and the chance to learn about Oregon Pinot noir from its top winemakers and key players. Willamette Valley wineries hit the road to bring some of our best wines to cities around the country including New York, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, and Houston.
There's no question Pinot noir is the Willamette Valley's flagship grape, representing 69% of our planted acreage in 2019. But we're also known for great Pinot gris, Chardonnay and Riesling, and grapes less commonly associated with the Willamette Valley are starting to develop a serious following--including Syrah, Gamay, Melon de Bourgogne, Pinot Meunier and Gruner Veltliner.

This was my first time going to a winery/tasting and it was the best experience i have ever encountered in my many travels around the U.S, we especially had the best experience due to Sam and Spence they were very friendly, knowledgeable and over all amazing inside and out! I highly recommend this winery for newbies in the area or travelers as well 💕 when i travel here again i will definitely be returning!
