A combination of determination and extraordinary
people has elevated the Willamette Valley Vineyards to "one of
America's Great Pinot Noir Producers". Founder, Jim Bernau,
purchased the estate site in 1983 and painstaking cleared the
land of scotch broom and blackberry vines. After years of
preparation, Jim fulfilled his dream of creating a world class
winery in the Willamette Valley. Today, Willamette Valley
Vineyard's cool-climate varietals can be found in the best
restaurants and bottle shops throughout the world.
The winery will be kicking into harvest so you will
get to see what it takes to get the grapes from the vines to the
bottle. The evening will be filled with tours of the winery.
blind tastings putting your nose & taste buds to the test and a
dinner paired with the different wines produced by Willamette Valley
Vineyards.

We know you will be
on your last leg and ready for the plane so we are going to give
you an evening to just sit back and relax with the sultry sounds
of Linda Hornbuckle. You will feel like you are stepping into a
"jazz bar" so kick back and just relax.
Linda’s
music is considered to be a
soul-tinged hybrid of Blues, R&B and Soul that incorporates
elements of her Gospel background with a full-bodied funk. Her
style showcases her phenomenal vocal style which sweeps across a
smoky soulful landscape with confident world-class control.
Linda Hornbuckle
is the Northwest’s “Diva of Soul” who is electric before an
audience, being able to move them emotionally & spiritually to the
point where it becomes a magical musical experience.
