Friendsgiving
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Join Oregon wine country’s newest holiday tradition. The second annual Friendsgiving offers a unique opportunity to experience some of Oregon’s finest up-and-coming winemakers from Approachment, Arabilis, CHO, Corollary, de la boue, Dolores, Liska, Lonesome Rock, Lundeen, Sealionne, Suzor, and Vincent. Each winery will pour two carefully selected wines, and Chef Brett Uniss of Humble Spirit will craft a menu of bites inspired by the winemakers’ favorite holiday food memories.
“We’re not just fellow winemakers—we’re real-life friends,” says Jeanne Feldkamp, co-founder and co-winemaker at Corollary. “We love spending time together, even when we’re not talking about wine. And we’ve always got each others’ backs—if one of us needs a barrel washer in a pinch or extra hands for sorting fruit, we know we can count on each other. This event really showcases how close-knit our community is. Every one of us is serious about our craft, but we’re always having a great time, too.”
In the true spirit of the Willamette Valley, this event is also about giving back. Each participating winery will donate a portion of sales to benefit the Yamhill Community Action Partnership, which works to improve the lives of low-income residents of Yamhill County through housing stabilization, energy services, a regional food bank, and youth services.

Bottles of all the wines poured will be available for purchase at the event, including a special event-exclusive mixed case featuring one wine from each participating winery.
