The Willamette Valley is confidently rooted in its land, its history, and its own good fortune. (Just recently, we joined Napa Valley as one of only two wine regions in the U.S. formally recognized by the European Union through Protected Geographical Indication status.) Our valley is celebrated for its wines, yet there is much more to our authentic, harmonious and inclusive communities and Indigenous lands — where adventure weaves its way throughout, offering surprises and delights to those who seek the treasures here. Our brand identity needs to reflect the diversity of our offerings, and with this reimagined brand we can continue to celebrate our traditions while embracing every aspect of what makes this area or Oregon so magical.
