Joe Perez, a Founding Owner at Willamette and a long-standing Oregon Wine Enthusiast member, has been working with the Cascades Raptor Center to release rehabilitated barn owls and kestrels into our vineyard.
Our vineyard stewards gathered at Bernau Estate Vineyard in the Dundee Hills to pick Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes for Domaine Willamette’s biodynamically farmed sparkling wines.
It may look like little is happening during the dormancy phase, but beneath the surface, the vines have been working hard to tolerate and acclimate to the cold days of winter.
Guests at the Estate in the Salem Hills can now take a seat at the Chef’s Counter for a tasting experience filled with wine, small plates and plenty of conversation.
