FOUNDERS’ BARREL AUCTION: AN EXCLUSIVE TASTE OF OREGON WINE FUTURES

he Oregon Wine Experience Founders’ Barrel Auction is a day of elegance and an event second to none. Guests are treated to a lavish experience,
®
Ttasting one-of-a-kind wine futures expertly crafted by a collection of the top winemakers from all corners of Oregon. This is one of the most engag-
ing wine events throughout Oregon Wine Experience. The winemakers thieve their wine from the barrel for the guests to swirl in their glass and indulge
the brilliance of its early stage as it hits their palate.

The action takes off when the auction opens for all to bid on the chance to win one case or up to a whole barrel. Winning bidders of ten cases of a single
lot are eligible to create a custom co-branded label for their wine. This year, the bidding will be exclusively online and open to all to participate—even
those across the country or in the comfort of their homes. The Founders’ Barrel Auction will run throughout the duration of Oregon Wine Experience
beginning on August 14.

To date, the following wineries from across Oregon have generously donated barrels of their wine to be featured at the auction.

» 2Hawk Vineyard & Winery » Carlton Cellars » Left Coast Estate » Schmidt Family Vineyards
» A to Z Wineworks » Croft Vineyards » Naumes Family Vineyards » Silvan Ridge Winery
