About

Founded in 1983 by CEO Jim Bernau with the dream of creating world-class Pinot Noir while

serving as stewards of the land, Willamette Valley Vineyards has grown from a bold idea into

one of the region’s leading wineries, earning the title “One of America’s Great Pinot Noir

Producers” from Wine Enthusiast Magazine. In addition, all the vineyards have been certified

sustainable through LIVE (Low Input Viticulture and Enology) and Salmon-Safe programs. The

winery owns or leases 1,000 acres of vineyard land and offers elevated wine experiences at 10

tasting rooms in Oregon, Washington and California - made possible by the stock ownership of

many wine enthusiasts.
