April Charitable Giving Wine Program!

Supporting Local Heroes 

Happy Mid-April, everyone! Thanks for being here. Three years ago, we launched our Charitable Giving Wine program in an effort to support our local nonprofits, which do great work in the place we call home: the Willamette Valley. In 2026, we’re pleased to continue this program, and we need you!

WHO, WHAT & HOW

Each month, we highlight one local nonprofit to support all month long. Ultimately, we’re utilizing our space to spread awareness in hopes of giving more light back to the organization. 

How does a wine company align with this effort? Easy! With what we do best, pair wine with situations. We choose one wine to feature and pair with the organization. Ten percent of bottle sales and one dollar of glass pours of the selected wine during the respective month benefit the organization. 

Alternatively, if direct giving suits you better, we invite you to donate directly to the organization. Many of you have helped this program, and we send our utmost gratitude your way!

April’s Pairing

Organization: Juliette’s House
Wine: 2019 Tempranillo Reserve

Let’s welcome Juliette’s House, a child-focused, safe place where abuse victims receive coordinated help from a team of professionals in one place, reducing trauma by preventing the child from retelling their story multiple times to different agencies.  

Juliette’s House provides forensic interviews, medical exams, therapy, and support, ensuring a sensitive, evidence-based response to child abuse investigations, and is accredited by the National Children’s Alliance (NCA) for quality.
