AMERICA'S COMMUNITY-FUNDED WINERY Founder Jim Bernau believes among the healthiest forms of business are those owned by the community. Jim’s vision of organizing the support of wine

enthusiasts to make world-class wines through shared ownership has resulted in more than 26,000 Owners. Willamette Valley Vineyards became the first SEC-authorized communityfunded business in the United States through the first successful Regulation A self-underwritten public offering in 1989. The winery has grown with the support of wine enthusiasts through Preferred Stock Ownership (NASDAQ: WVVIP) funding new vineyards, wineries and experiences. OREGON'S LEADING PRODUCER OF WILLAMETTE VALLEY APPELLATED PINOT NOIR The winery sources all of its barrel-aged Pinot Noir from its estate-grown vineyards and meticulously farms nearly 500 acres in the hills of the valley. STEWARDSHIP OF THE LAND Since the winery’s founding in 1983, stewardship of the land has been the key principle in our winemaking and farming practices. The estate vineyards are certified sustainable through LIVE (Low Input Viticulture and Enology) and Salmon-Safe. In addition, Willamette Valley Vineyards was the first winery in the world to use cork certified through Preferred by Nature™ to Forest Stewardship Council standards and use an autonomous UV-C Light Robot to sustainably prevent powdery mildew in the vineyards.

Oregon’s growth continues to outperform despite commanding a significantly higher average price per bottle — more than two times the category average.
