Willamette Valley Vineyards Wine Tasting 5:00-5:45PM

As you are driving north on I-5 in the heart of Willamette Valley, just before crossing over the 45th Parallel, you see this magnificent entrance. That is exactly where I blew out a tire on my first day of work and had to walk up the hill from 200 to 800 feet in elevation to meet founder, Jim Bernau.

I am thrilled to share the history of the vineyard and these wines with you that became my passion and life during my years in Oregon. As one of the region’s leading wineries and named “One of America’s Great Pinot Noir Producers” by Wine Enthusiast I am confident you will love them as much as I do!

Founded in 1983 by Oregon native Jim Bernau with the dream of creating world-class Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley Vineyards has grown from a bold idea into one of meticulously farming by hand nearly 500 acres in the valley.

“Our mission in growing cool-climate varietals is to create elegant, classic Oregon wines from the Willamette Valley Appellation. As native Oregonians, we treasure our environment and use sustainable practices in growing and vinifying our wine grapes.”

Jim Bernau, Founder/CEO

It’s Willamette, Dammit!

Please join me with my friend Mary Joli from Willamette Valley Vineyards and Travis Brown from Breakthru Beverage as we explore these wines that we have hand-selected for you.

The Fine Print:

– We will continue limiting the number of members at each event in order to continue delivering the best experience possible. With smaller & more focused groups, our clients are able to gain a deeper understanding of the featured items.

– IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND, please call or email us ASAP so that we may offer your space to those awaiting a reservation. Due to an increase in no-shows and last-minute cancellations, we will be implementing a $25/person fee for cancellations under 24 hours. We understand that things come up, we just want to have the opportunity and time to offer the spot to someone else!

We look forward to seeing you!
