WVV Makes Strategic Move

WILSONVILLE, Ore. - (Business Wire) In a unique strategic move, Oregon’s leading winery has moved some of its offices from the winery to the building owned by the Oregon Restaurant Association (ORA). The new Willamette Valley Vineyards (WVV) offices are also across the hall from the Northwest Grocer’s Association headquarters.

WVV Founder & President Jim Bernau said the two business associations represent more than 90 percent of all fine wine sales in Oregon. He added that the move was made to further the ties between industry partners, but also to reduce the carbon footprint of the winery.

"The ORA and NWGA are among the most effective business associations in the country," Bernau noted. "I have enjoyed my work with them over these past 25 years and I look forward to strengthening our industries, employment and charities."

Bernau was named the ORA’s "Purveyor of the Year" last year.
