Dear Shareholder:

You are cordially invited to the rescheduled Annual Meeting of Shareholders

which will be held on Wednesday, September 25 at 3:00 PM, Pacific Daylight
Time at Willamette Valley Vineyards, 8800 Enchanted Way SE, Turner, Oregon

require an additional copy of the Proxy Statement, Ballot and Annual Report
please contact James L. Ellis, Secretary at (800) 344-9463.

The Annual Meeting is being held for the following purposes:

1.	To elect a Board of directors to hold office until the next Annual
Meeting of Shareholders or until their respective successors have been elected
or appointed;

2.    	To ratify the appointment by the Board of Directors of
PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP as the Company's independent auditors for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.

3.   	To transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual
Meeting or any adjournment  or postponement thereof.

These items are fully discussed in the Proxy Statement sent in a prior
mailing.

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on August 14th, 2002, the
record date established by the Board of Directors, will be entitled to vote at
the rescheduled Annual Meeting.  A list of shareholders entitled to vote will
be available for inspection at the Company's offices for a period commencing
two days after the date of this Notice and lasting until the Annual Meeting.

Shareholders who have not voted are requested to complete, date, sign, and
return their Proxy Ballot as soon as possible.  Whether or not you attend the
Annual Meeting, it is important that your shares be represented and voted at
the meeting.  If you decide to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person,
you will have the opportunity.
