THE GIVING SEASON
It's time to give back.
#WVGIVINGSEASON
Between the breathless rush of harvest and the calm of Cellar Season, we welcome the festive energy of the holidays—and with them a chance to step back, appreciate the beauty and camaraderie around us, and give back to the communities we call home.
The Giving Season is our gift to you. Through pandemic recovery and challenges throughout the year, we found ways to draw on the community strength we've built to emerge more resilient than ever. Each step of the way, you've been part of that community, and now is our chance to express our gratitude.
The Giving Season combines Wine Country Thanksgiving, Willamette Cares Food Share, and the holidays. Our wineries and wine country businesses each have a special offer for you, to show our appreciation for Willamette Valley wine lovers everywhere.
Giving Season Offers
Our participating wineries and wine country businesses have each chosen a special offer just for you! In the spirit of gift giving these may include wine gift ideas or a holiday gift pack, a shipping deal, or a collectible wine release, for that perfect gift for the wine lover in your life. While all participating businesses have made a donation to Willamette Cares Food Share, note that many offers give you a chance to contribute an additional donation to the Oregon Food Banks.

Giving Season Events
From October 26 through December 31, our participating wineries and wine country businesses are welcoming you to Willamette Valley wine country with Wine Country Thanksgiving (and pre-Thanksgiving weekend) and holiday season events with food and wine pairing, holiday open houses, holiday wine releases and more.

Wine Country Thanksgiving
Join us for this unique Oregon tradition to kick off the holiday season as wineries throughout the Willamette Valley offer special tastings, food pairings, live music, holiday discounts and other wine country experiences. Each winery celebrates the festive weekend with its own flare. See Wine Country Thanksgiving events.
Willamette Cares Food Share
In the long-standing tradition of Willamette Cares Food Share, our Giving Season celebration includes a donation to Oregon Food Banks. Together our participating wineries and wine country businesses have donated nearly $7,000 to the Oregon Food Bank Network so far in 2021, and many are continuing to make and accept donations throughout the year.
