About Willamette Valley Vineyards
Producer Story
Founded in 1983 by Oregon native Jim Bernau with the dream of creating world-class Pinot Noir. Jim cleared
away an old pioneer plum orchard in the Salem Hills and watered the vines by hand using 17 lengths of
garden hose to get the grapelings through their first summer. 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.
