Winery Highlights
America’s Community-Funded Winery
Founder Jim Bernau believes that among the healthiest forms of business are those owned by the community. His vision — bringing wine enthusiasts together to craft world-class wines through shared ownership — has grown into a community of more than 27,000 Owners.
Willamette Valley Vineyards became the first SEC-authorized, community-funded business in the United States following a successful Regulation A self-underwritten public offering in 1989. Since then, the winery has continued to grow with the support of its Owners through Preferred Stock (NASDAQ: WVVIP), funding new vineyards, wineries and wine experiences.
Oregon’s Leading Producer of Willamette Valley Appellated Pinot Noir
The winery sources all of its barrel-aged Pinot Noir from its estate-grown vineyards and meticulously farms nearly 500 acres in the hills of the valley.
Stewardship of the Land
Since the winery’s founding in 1983, stewardship of the land has been the key principle in our winemaking and farming practices. The estate vineyards are certified sustainable through LIVE (Low Input Viticulture and Enology) and Salmon-Safe.
In addition, Willamette Valley Vineyards was the first winery in the world to use cork certified through Preferred by Nature™ to Forest Stewardship Council standards. Our initiatives to prioritize sustainable packaging include lightweight packaging and reusable Revino bottles for our on-premise Whole Cluster Pinot Noir. Learn More.

Domaine Willamette
at Bernau Estate Vineyard in the Dundee Hills
Established in 2022 by Jim and Jan Bernau, Domaine Willamette was founded with a singular purpose: to craft world-class mèthode traditionnelle sparkling wines. At its heart is an underground aging cellar nestled in the acclaimed Dundee Hills AVA.
Domaine Willamette is located at Bernau Estate Vineyard, a 20-acre site meticulously farmed to biodynamic standards and certified by Demeter. The vineyard is planted with Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay — classic varietals that form the foundation of exceptional sparkling wine.
Guests are invited to experience Oregon-inspired hospitality through curated wine and food pairings, immersive educational tours and views of the Willamette Valley — all set amid gardens that reflect the beauty of the region.
Willamette Wineworks
Willamette Wineworks®, a microwinery located in the Roundhouse building in Historic Folsom, California, features food and wine pairings and a unique Barrel Blending System allowing you to create your own wine blends. Founder Jim Bernau’s family in Folsom helped bring this idea to life, enabling us to take the Oregon wine story on the road.
Folsom’s winemaking history dates back to the mid-1800s with the planting of Natoma Vineyard. In the early 1900s, this vineyard boasted 2,000 acres as one of the largest vineyards in the nation, but when gold was discovered on the property, the vines were replaced with dredgers. Join our dream to reestablish Natoma as a celebrated wine brand in California.
Maison Bleue in Walla Walla
Founded in 2007, Maison Bleue is dedicated to the production of terroir-driven wines from the Rocks District of Milton-Freewater AVA focused primarily on Rhône varietals. Our Maison Bleue Estate Vineyard was planted in 2018 with 15-acres of Syrah, Grenache and Viognier. It is located at the entrance to the Rocks District of Milton-Freewater AVA and sits at one of the higher elevations to minimize frost damage. The site also features some of the largest stones in the appellation, because it was in the center of the path of the Walla Walla River where the water was moving the swiftest to leave these large deposits.
Wines may be purchased online or in the Walla Walla Tasting Room located at 20 N. 2nd Avenue, Walla Walla, WA 99362.
Pambrun in Walla Walla
Pambrun wines are grown on our 19-acre vineyard planted alongside those Cabernet Sauvignon visionaries at SeVein. Located on the Oregon side of the Walla Walla Valley, SeVein is a collection of some of the highest quality vineyard land in the world anchored by the renowned Seven Hills Vineyard. Named in honor of Pierre Pambrun, Walla Walla’s first citizen who led the Hudson’s Bay trading post and was Founder Jim Bernau's fourth great-grandfather. In April 2018, we released the inaugural 2015 vintages of Pambrun Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chrysologue (a red blend).
Wines may be purchased online or in the Walla Walla Tasting Room located at 20 N. 2nd Avenue, Walla Walla, WA 99362.
Elton in the Eola-Amity Hills
Dick and Betty O’Brien planted Elton Vineyard in 1983 and spent their lives growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Eola Hills south of Dundee. It was named one of Oregon’s top ten vineyards by Wine Press Northwest and in Wine & Spirits as one of the five key vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. They have enjoyed providing their winegrapes to some of Oregon's most talented winemakers over the years, including Isabelle Meunier. Between Isabelle's first Oregon vintage in 2007 through the 2015 vintage, only 22 Oregon wines were awarded a score of 95 points or more by Wine Spectator. Isabelle produced 11 of those wines. Associate Winemaker Gabi Prefontaine has worked alongside Isabelle to now lead the Elton wines.
Elton focuses on small lots of premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay starting with the 2015 vintage. Wines may be purchased online or by attending a signature event, like the annual Garden Party held in the O'Brien Garden.
