AMERICA'S COMMUNITY-FUNDED WINERY
Founder Jim Bernau believes that one of the healthiest forms of business is community ownership. His vision — bringing wine enthusiasts together to craft world-class wines through shared ownership — has grown into a community of more than 27,000 Owners.
Willamette Valley Vineyards became the first SEC-authorized, community-funded business in the United States following a successful Regulation A self-underwritten public offering in 1989. Since then, the winery has continued to grow with the support of its Owners through Preferred Stock (NASDAQ: WVVIP), funding new vineyards, wineries and wine experiences.
OREGON'S LEADING PRODUCER OF WILLAMETTE VALLEY APPELLATED PINOT NOIR
The winery sources its barrel-aged Pinot Noir from its estate-grown vineyards and meticulously farms nearly 500 acres in the hills of the valley.
STEWARDSHIP OF THE LAND
Since the winery’s founding in 1983, stewardship of the land has been the key principle in our winemaking and farming practices. The estate vineyards are certified sustainable through LIVE (Low Input Viticulture and Enology) and Salmon-Safe.
In addition, Willamette Valley Vineyards was the first winery in the world to use cork certified through Preferred by Nature™ to Forest Stewardship Council standards. Our initiatives to prioritize sustainable packaging include lightweight packaging and reusable Revino bottles for our on-premise Whole Cluster Pinot Noir.
