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.
For the past 30 years, Domaine Serene, under the guidance of the Evenstads, has been focused on excellence in a never-ending quest to produce world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Their mission is to produce outstanding quality through continuous improvement and a commitment to extremely high internal standards. Domaine Serene’s wines represent the achievement that is possible in Oregon, one of the finest regions in the world for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Adelsheim Vineyard, located in Newberg, Oregon, was founded in 1971 with an ambitious idea: that the Chehalem Mountains could produce world-class Pinot noir and Chardonnay. More than five decades later, that belief has helped shape the Willamette Valley into one of the world’s great wine regions.
As the first winery in the Chehalem Mountains AVA and a founding producer in Oregon’s modern wine movement, Adelsheim has played a role in nearly every chapter of the region’s story. Our wines reflect the distinctive soils and climates of the Chehalem Mountains, crafted to express a true sense of place.
Stewardship is central to our work. Adelsheim is a LIVE Certified Sustainable winery, committed to responsible farming, thoughtful winemaking, and strengthening our community through education and collaboration. In 2025 we became a certified B Corporation.
Recognized seven times as a Wine & Spirits Top 100 Winery, Adelsheim continues its founding mission: crafting exceptional Oregon wines while helping shape the future of the region we helped pioneer.
