The Willamette Valley is 150 miles long and up to 60 miles wide and runs from the Columbia River in the north to the Calapooya Mountains in the south. It is named for the Willamette River that flows through it to the north. The weather in the Willamette Valley is relatively mild all year with winters that are wet and cool and summers that are dry and warm. The influence of marine air from the Pacific along with favorable temperatures, particularly during the growing season, make the Willamette Valley climate ideal for growing cool climate grapes such as Pinot Noir. Most vineyards are found in the hills above the valley floor to take advantage of the excellent soil conditions found above 300 feet elevation. We will be concentrating our attention to some of the smaller vineyards where there will be great opportunities to not only photograph the vineyards but also talk with the growers themselves (and, perhaps, for those interested, sample unique and wonderful wines that are often produced in such small quantities as to not be widely available).
