Founder Jim Bernau began planting in 1983. His mission was to make Pinot Noir that would be a classic, elegant representation of the Willamette Valley growing region. Over the past 30 years, with determination and the help of many extraordinary people, Jim''s dream became a reality. We are now producing high quality, sustainably grown Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varietals in sufficient quantities to be available at the finest restaurants and wine shops throughout the world.
We believe wine tastes better when made from naturally grown winegrapes. WVV is now the leading producer of Oregon Certified Sustainable Wine, with all of our vineyards and winery certified LIVE (Low Input Viticulture and Enology) and Salmon Safe. Tending the vines by hand and using minimalist winemaking techniques in small-batch fermentations, we strive to capture the unique sense of place with distinctive elegance and aromatic complexity.
