Events

We offer regular opportunities for members to network, learn, and connect with the industry, including:

Every Friday at 10am, WVWA members are invited to gather virtually to hear from special guests, network with peers, learn about industry trends, and get important information. Check your email for weekly invitations.

WVWA works with a professional public relations professional for pro-active pitching, media hosting, story coordination, and press familiarization trips. We stay on top of national media opportunities so you don’t have to. Check your email every other Monday for our media opportunities document. We also provide media trainings as well as member toolkits to provide marketing support, crisis management and industry best practices.
Contact Julia Burke at julia@willamettewines.com to request access to our media opportunities document.

We execute opt-in seasonal campaigns (May in Wine Country, The Giving Season and Cellar Season) to bring opportunities for additional visibility for our members throughout the year.
Additionally we host trade-specific annual events like Oregon Pinot Camp and the Willamette: The Pinot Noir Auction, and roadshow events like Pinot in the City throughout the country to reach more trade, media and consumer channels.
Be sure to join us for our annual meeting in the first quarter of each year.
We regularly host networking events like Harvest Happy Hours to allow our members to gather and connect.
