About Us

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 the region’s leading wineries, earning the title “One of America’s Great Pinot Noir Producers” from Wine Enthusiast Magazine. The Estate Tasting Room features a cozy setting with elegant fireplaces, an expansive patio and an impressive 65-foot lookout tower showcasing incredible views of the vines and Mary’s Peak. Since the winery's founding in 1983, stewardship of the land has been a key principle in their winemaking and farming practices. Founder Jim Bernau believes wines made with consideration for the environment and community simply taste better, which is why they take purposeful steps to achieve the highest standards for environmental certifications and preservation. Willamette Valley Vineyards' estate vineyards and are LIVE (Low Input Viticulture & Enology) and Salmon-Safe certified. Willamette Valley Vineyards was the first winery in the world to use natural cork certified by the Rainforest Alliance and Forest Stewardship Council® for their wine closures. Among their many sustainable practices, including being wind and solar-powered at the Estate, they are proud to partner with the Cascades Raptor Center to place rehabilitated barn owls and kestrels into their vineyards for natural pest protection.
