On January 7, 2009, The McMinnville Winegrowers Association formally became an organized group. The Association is comprised of 6 Major Wineries and 8 Vineyards that are within the boundaries of the McMinnville AVA and is certain to become an area to Explore and Discover. The McMinnville AVA lies due west of the town of McMinnville, Oregon, in the Coast Range Foothills of Yamhill County. This AVA is the most westerly of all Oregon AVAs and is geologically and climatically very different from any other in the Willamette Valley. An AVA or “American Viticultural Area” is defined as a delimited, grape-growing region distinguishable by unique geographical features and recognized by the Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco as having unique characteristics. We are excited to have the opportunity to show the unique aspects of our AVA to the public and to bring together such a diverse and dynamic group of wine professionals,” notes Scott Neal, President of the McMinnville Winegrowers Association. The McMinnville AVA is primed to arouse the interest of the most distinguished Pinot palates.
Look for future events including: “Discover the McMinnville AVA, A Passport to Our Wineries and Vineyards” on July 18, 2009 to celebrate the Oregon 150. Wineries Include: Brittan Vineyard, Coeur de Terre Vineyard, Coleman Vineyard, Maysara Vineyard, Stony Mountain Vineyard, Youngberg Hill Vineyard and Yamhill Valley Vineyards.
Vineyards Include: Bass Hill Vineyard, Bellevue Cross Vineyard, Fox Ridge Vineyard, Four Winds Vineyard, J Wrigley Vineyards, Hyland Vineyards, Meredith Mitchell Vineyard and Sunny Ridge Vineyard.
