At Willamette Valley Vineyards, our mission in growing cool-climate varietals is to create elegant, classic Oregon wines. We use sustainable practices in growing and vinifying our winegrapes. A combination of determination and extraordinary people has brought us from an idea to one of the region's leading wineries, earning the title "One of America's Great Pinot Noir Producers," from Wine Enthusiast Magazine. Our Founder, Jim Bernau, believes Pinot Noir made with consideration for the environment, employees, and community simply tastes better. With that purpose, Willamette Valley Vineyards and Jim Bernau have been recognized for socially responsible winegrowing by LIVE (Low Impact Viticulture and Enology) as well as receiving the Sustainable Standard-Setter award from the Rainforest Alliance for their use of FSC Certified cork. In 2014, Jim was honored with the Los Heroes de Salud! award for his contributions in providing healthcare to Oregon’s vineyard workers.
