Memorial Weekend in the Wine Country

Join us May 26-28, 2012, for the 22nd annual Memorial Weekend in the Wine Country when more than 150 wineries and tasting rooms will be open across the Willamette Valley. Take this opportunity to visit some of the region’s small, family-owned wineries rarely open to the public as well as larger wineries and tasting rooms.

Taste new wines from your favorite labels, sample from the barrel with winemakers and enjoy specialty food pairings and live music. Take part in a vineyard tour or enjoy a picnic while savoring the region’s acclaimed Pinot noir, Pinot gris and other exciting wines. And don’t miss out on the on the stunning views and special offers available during this weekend celebration.

Help us cultivate a spring to remember. Willamette Valley Wineries will donate a portion of event fees (or other proceeds) to Ecotrust’s Farm to School Programs. These programs work to bring more locally-grown, healthy products to the school lunchroom, educate children about agriculture and support regional farmers. Visit your local vineyard and winery and support our local schools and farmers!
