Ripe Pinot Noir clusters hanging on the vine before harvest

New Willamette Valley Harvest Website

Harvest has officially kicked off in the Willamette Valley, and the Willamette Valley Wineries Association’s new harvest website will help us all feel a part of it. Featuring winemaker stories, blog posts, delicious recipes, grape-friendly Spotify playlists, and event listings that all revolve around harvest, it’s like we’re practically in the cellar — except for the punchdowns.

The familial nature of harvest also reaches beyond the intimate work environment of the cellar and into community meals, shared equipment and celebratory events open to all. And while wine is the main focus, harvest season includes the entire Willamette Valley farming community and their bountiful crop of outstanding produce. The age-old combination of good wine, good food and good company is on full display during this plentiful time of year. For social media fans, follow harvest conversations at #wvwines2017 on Facebook and on Twitter @wvwines.

Website visitors could enter to win a curated wine country package for two featuring lodging, a winemaker’s dinner, dinner at a select Willamette Valley restaurant, wine tasting passes at hand-picked wineries, and $150 toward a car rental. The contest ran until November 1, 2017.

From the archive: this story first ran in September 2017. Details such as dates, hours and offers may have changed. Keep exploring with our Willamette Valley Pinot Noir guide and Columbia Gorge weekend.
