<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On April&nbsp;18, 2008, Willamette Valley Vineyards,&nbsp;Inc.
(the &#147;Company&#148;) received a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter from the Nasdaq
Listing Qualifications Department providing that the Company does not comply
with the requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule&nbsp;4310(c)(14)
because it did not file its report for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 on
Form&nbsp;10-KSB (&#147;Form<br>
10-KSB&#148;) on a timely basis, and that its securities are, therefore, subject to
delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company will request an appeal hearing before a
Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination.&#160; There can be no assurance that the Panel will
grant the Company&#146;s request for continued listing.&#160; However, the Company is excercising
commercially reasonable efforts to complete its audit as expediently as
possible.&#160; Upon such completion, the
Company intends to file its Form&nbsp;10-KSB, and at that time expects to be in
compliance with the requirements for continued listing.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company filed a Form&nbsp;8-K on April&nbsp;21,
2008, in which it stated that it anticipated filing its Form&nbsp;10-KSB early
in the week of April&nbsp;21, 2008.&#160; The
Company is still working with its independent auditors to complete its audit,
and is not able at this time to predict with certainty how long this will take,
and therefore when its Form&nbsp;10-KSB will be filed.&#160; However, the Company is exercising
commercially reasonable efforts to complete its audit as expediently as
possible.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">TURNER, Oregon, April&nbsp;24,
2008 &#150; On April&nbsp;15, 2008, Willamette Valley Vineyards,&nbsp;Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;)
(Nasdaq: WVVI) voluntarily notified The Nasdaq Stock Market,&nbsp;Inc. that the
Company would not be able to file its Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-KSB for the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 (&#147;Form&nbsp;10-KSB&#148;) by its due date of April&nbsp;15,
2008.&#160; As a result of the filing delay, on
April&nbsp;18, 2008, the Company received a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter
from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department providing that the Company does
not comply with the requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule&nbsp;4310(c)(14)
because it did not file its Form&nbsp;10-KSB on a timely basis, and that its
securities are, therefore, subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Company will request an appeal hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications
Panel to review the Staff Determination.&#160;
There can be no assurance the Panel will grant the Company&#146;s request for
continued listing.&#160; However, the Company is
excercising commercially reasonable efforts to complete its audit as
expediently as possible.&#160; Upon such
completion, the Company intends to file its Form&nbsp;10-KSB, and at that time expects
to be in compliance with the requirements for continued listing.</font></p>
