Willamette Valley Vineyards, Inc. Reports a Profit for the Quarter Ended
September 30, 2004.

SALEM, Ore., November 19 -- Willamette Valley Vineyards, Inc. (NASDAQ symbol:
WVVI), announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2004.
Willamette Valley reported a net profit of $114,532, or $0.03 per basic share
on revenue of $2,312,607 in the three months ended September 30, 2004 as
compared to a net profit of $143,867, or $0.03 per share on revenues of
$1,917,039 for the same period in 2003.  For the nine months ended September
30, 2004, Willamette Valley reported a net profit of $310,698, or $0.07 per
basic share on revenues of $6,259,471 compared to a net profit of $200,765, or
$0.04 per basic share on revenues of $4,952,178 for the same period in 2003.

Operating performance in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004
increased primarily due to strong sales to out-of-state distributors and Oregon
restaurant and retail outlets.  Total net sales revenue grew by 21% in the
three months ended September 30, 2004 and 26% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004.  Operating income increased 19% to $270,945 for the three
months ended September 30, 2004 and 56% to $732,625 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004.  Reductions in tasting room expenses in the three months
ended September 30, 2004 and rent income from the Tualatin winery also
contributed to these positive results.  The decrease in net income for the
three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same prior year
period is due primarily to the receipt of a $95,369 non-recurring insurance
settlement in the comparable prior year period.

During the three months ended September 30, 2004, management initiated the sale
and lease back of the approximate 75.3 acre Meadowview parcel at the Tualatin
Estate Vineyard for $726,675, which closed in the October of 2004.  Pursuant to
the sale leaseback agreement, the Company will continue to farm and develop the
vineyard acres of this parcel.  This parcel includes 15.7 acres of established
vineyard which the Company has agreed to lease back for up to 14 years.  The
land in question includes 7 acres of vineyard planted in 2004 and trellised
with French Dijon clone 777 Pinot noir on disease resistant rootstock, and 23
additional acres of vineyard land.  The purchaser has agreed to fund the
vineyard development of the 23 acres of vineyard land.  The Company will begin
paying rent on 7 acres and any plantings on the 23 acres when the vines are
commercially productive in 2008 for up to 24 years.  The net cash proceeds of
the sale were principally applied to reduce amounts owing under the Company's
credit line.

Harvest began at the end of the three months ended September 30, 2004 with
variable results based upon vineyard location.  Rain during bloom and the warm
summer reduced yield.  Rains in mid-September, just prior to harvest, caused
some small berries to split, reducing yields.  This variable vintage breaks a
string of six remarkable vintages beginning in 1998.  Early fermentations
indicate Pinot noir will be lighter in color, less concentrated yet fragrant.
The white wines like Pinot gris and Riesling are showing bright, powerful fruit
flavor.

As indicated in the Form 8K dated October 13, 2004, filed with the SEC the
Company has restated its financial statements for the years ended December 31,
2003, 2002, and 2001 to reflect the estimated Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau of the US Treasury Department audit findings of additional excise tax
liability for each of the periods and to record the estimated interest and
penalties with respect to the related estimated excise tax liability.  The
Company originally recorded a liability as of December 31, 2003 and a related
expense in the year then ended of the estimated excise taxes owing of $80,000.
The Company has restated its financial statements to reflect the correct
application of the $80,000 estimated excise tax and to record the estimated
interest and penalties with respect to the estimated excise tax owing for the
years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001.

In addition the Company is in the process of resolving the accounting for
certain capitalized costs.  In 1999 the Company incurred significant cost
redesigning the Willamette Valley Vineyards brand, label and packaging to
coincide with the purchase of the Tualatin Estate Winery in 1997 and the
development of the new Tualatin Estate brand identity, label and packaging for
higher quality and higher value wines.  The Company capitalized these costs and
is amortizing them over a 5 year life.  The SEC has inquired whether the costs
should have been expensed in the period they were incurred. The total
unamortized balance of such costs recorded as of December 31, 2003 totaled
$13,928 and the related amortization expense was $14,400 in each of 2003, 2002
and 2001.  When this matter is resolved, the Company will file with the SEC its
amended 2003 Form 10 KSB, Amended Form 10QSBs for the periods ending March 31,
2004, and June 30 2004, and the Form 10QSB for the period ending September 30,
2004.
