Event Details
We are greatly looking forward to our trip with all of you to the Willamette Valley. We have
been able to secure some wonderful tastings at the top boutique wineries in the region – you will
all leave the weekend as Oregon Pinot experts!
We are working with the team at Alexana Winery and can't wait to blend our own Pinot Noir.
Their 2020 vintage is really special and Michael and Bryan are going to the winery next week to
select the base wines from different blocks around the property.
The entire weekend will be casual attire and we plan on being outside as much as possible so
please be prepared for the unpredictable weather of the Pacific Northwest. Temperatures should
range between 47°F and 72°F.
