Three Local Wineries Talk COVID, Wildfires
July 11, 2021
The Willamette Valley is known for many things, including its fields of sheep, grass seed, and filbert or hazelnut trees. But as soon as you leave the valley floor and get into the hilly terrain of the region, crop land becomes dominated by one thing wine grapes.
The Valley is famous for its wineries, nestled amongst rolling vineyards and producing some of the nation’s best pinot noir and pinot gris, among others. The wine industry of the Valley is booming and, according to the Willamette Valley Wineries Association, includes almost 700 wineries, adding up to two-thirds of all the wineries in Oregon.

Tiquette Bramlett has been appointed president of Vidon Vineyard.
Just miles away in Newberg, Tiquette Bramlett is making national wine history as the new president of Vidon Vineyard. Though there are numerous Black-owned wineries and wine labels throughout the countryâincluding woman-owned Eunice Chiweshe Goldstein Winery and Stoney Wines in OregonâBramlett is the first Black woman hired to lead a non-Black-owned winery in the country. She boasts six years of experience in the Willamette Valley wine scene. She started out at Anne Amie Vineyards in Carlton, and was most recently the brand ambassador at Abbey Creek Vineyard in North Plains.
