	All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this
Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment
which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which

incorporated herein by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a
part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents.  Any statement
contained in a document incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be
modified or superceded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the
extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document

person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
Proceeding against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines,
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person
in connection with such Proceeding.

	Oregon law provides that directors of a corporation will not be
personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as
directors, unless the breach involves: (1) acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (2)
conduct resulting in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in
which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation; or (3) conduct
resulting in any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the
director in which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that personal
benefit was improperly received by the director.

	A total of 19,450 shares of the Registrant's common stock have been

is exempt under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.  The remaining two
recipients are senior level executives who received their shares under Rule
504 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act").

Item 8.  Exhibits.

	The following Exhibits are filed as a part of this Registration
Statement:

23.2         Consent of Independent Accountants
24.1         Power of Attorney (see signature page).

Item 9.  Undertakings.

(a)  The Registrant hereby undertakes:
  (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement.
  (2)  That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
  (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

(b)  The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

(c)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets

Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,

Re:	Share Option Plan

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Willamette Valley Vineyards, Inc., an Oregon
corporation (the "Corporation"), in connection with its Registration Statement
on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement").  Capitalized terms used herein
that are not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed thereto as set forth
in the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto.

We have examined such documents, papers, statutes and authorities as we have
deemed necessary to form a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.  We
have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of documents,
certificates and records submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the
originals of all documents, certificates and records submitted to us as
copies, the legal capacity of all natural persons executing documents,
certificates and records, and the completeness and accuracy as of the date of
this opinion letter of the information contained in such documents,
certificates and records.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1.  The Corporation is duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the
State of Oregon.

2.  The Plan, the Shares and the options respecting such Shares have been
duly authorized and, when appropriate certificates have been duly executed by
the proper officers of the Corporation, the Shares will be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.

This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Oregon and the federal
laws of the United States of the type typically applicable to transactions
contemplated by the Registration Statement.  We express no opinion with
respect to the laws of any other country, state or jurisdiction.

This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein and no opinion is
implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.  This letter
speaks only as of the date hereof and is limited to present statutes,
regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations.  We undertake no
responsibility to update or supplement this letter after the date hereof.

We consent to being named in the Registration Statement as counsel who are
passing upon the validity of the shares of common stock to be issued pursuant
to the Registration Statement.  Subject to the foregoing, this opinion letter
may be relied upon by you only in connection with the Offering and may not be
used or relied upon by you for any other purpose or by any other person for
any purpose whatsoever without, in each instance, our prior written consent.


Sincerely,
Davis Wright Tremaine LLP
