Description
The Oregon Winegrowers Association, a member-funded organization, will inform and update you on all the advantages of being part of the OWA community including legislative advocacy, regulatory compliance guidance and cost savings opportunities. Learn how the OWA is working to protect and enhance the investment you are making in your winery and vineyard operations.

Learn about the Oregon Wine Board’s new strategic plan for research, which will guide the investment OWB makes in viticulture and enology research each year to help advance the Oregon wine industry.
 
In 2018 Domaine Serene presented the Red Blotch Study Team at the Oregon Wine Research Institute with a $500,000 gift to accelerate its research on this troubling virus, while challenging the wine industry to match its gift. Red blotch is spreading among vineyards and research-based understanding and recommendations are needed to preserve the health and quality of Oregon’s vineyards. This team’s research benefits all vineyards across the state and matching funds will be utilized wherever they can have the most impact. This is an appeal for a statewide, community-based solution to this significant challenge to the wine industry.
