The Allison Inn & Spa in Newberg, Oregon

Willamette, in its fourth year, is the leading event to showcase Pinot noir of the Willamette Valley while helping support the promotion of this exceptional Oregon wine region.

At Willamette: The Pinot Noir Auction, influencers of the wine trade get to experience what makes Oregon remarkable, exemplified in unique expressions of the best Pinot noir from local wineries. For two days, 89 of the region’s wineries and winemakers will host a series of special tastings and gatherings, culminating in a live auction. Members of the trade and their guests will try Pinot noir of outstanding quality, produced in extremely limited quantities, and representing a wide range of terroirs and styles. Willamette guests have the opportunity to acquire an exceptional lot of one-of-a-kind Pinot noir and an unforgettable impression of the Oregon wine community.

All proceeds from the auction support the marketing, branding, and education efforts of the Willamette Valley Wineries Association.

Lingua Franca's Founder, Larry Stone, is on the Willamette Valley Wine Assocation Board of Directors. In addition to being featured in the auction's Pinot Noir Lots, Lingua Franca will be collaborating with Adelsheim in the Chairpersons' Chardonnay Collaboration Lot.
