40th Anniversary & Annual Owner Celebration

Please join us for the 40th Anniversary & Annual Owners Celebration taking place Wednesday, July 12th through Sunday, July 16th at your Willamette locations.

This is a big year for your winery. We are celebrating the 40th anniversary of Willamette Valley Vineyards, the 40th anniversary of Elton Vineyard and the 50th anniversary of Tualatin Estate Vineyard.

We hope you will attend, especially Sunday, July 16th, when we will gather at sparkling winery Domaine Willamette at 2 pm for a Historic Group Photo to commemorate these anniversaries.

- Lottery Events -
Due to the limited size of some events, the opportunity to reserve select items will be available using a lottery system. We will strive to keep this fair by spreading reservations among as many Owners as possible. The lottery sign-up form was available from Sunday, March 5th through Sunday, March 12th. Randomly selected owners were contacted via email and have until May 31st to finalize reservations.

Please note that you will book and pay for each event separately through our Tock reservation systems. Please use the primary email associated with your Willamette Valley Vineyards account when you log into Tock.
