The objectives of the Willamette Valley Amateur Winemakers Society are to foster a general interest in wines and to give society members a means of exchanging information on winemaking methods, materials and equipment. Meetings are held monthly and a newsletter notification is emailed to all members at least one week prior to meeting. Meetings start off with our tasting and social period followed by a short business meeting, technical seminar/discussion, guest speaker and finally a great potluck.
