Coffee, Collaboration and Community: Oregon Grower Group and Grand Cru Vintners Launch First Organically Grown Wine Conference

A new generation of Oregon winegrowers is spawning a grass roots, community oriented organic winegrowing movement, making a big splash. Instead of wineries leading the charge for organically grown grapes and wines, this time it’s hands-on growers and viticulture professionals collaborating to launch the state’s first ever organically farmed wine event, the Organically Grown Wine Conference, held March 22 at Alexana Winery in Newberg in the Dundee Hills AVA.
