Women of Pinot

This feature length documentary shares the stories of 20 Women Winemakers in Willamette Valley, Oregon and how they have helped shape and develop Oregon’s wines and their lives as they continue to be a growing influence in Oregon’s wine industry even though as Winemakers, they represent just a fraction of Oregon’s Willamette Valley 736 +/- wineries.

Women of Pinot Film Synopsis:
The idea behind the « Women of Pinot » wine documentary started in early 2020 when talking with local Winemakers about the number of Women Winemakers in Oregon and more specifically the Willamette Valley which is home to Oregon Pinot Noir. It was surprising to find that although the Willamette Valley has over 730 wineries, less than 9% have Women Winemakers.

One might think that there would be a list of all the Women Winemakers you have in the State or at least in each AVA. You would be wrong; no such list exists. It literally took months of research into every different wine group, website searches, emails and winery searching to compile what we thought was a list of all the Women Winemakers in the Willamette Valley for our Wine Documentary.
We knew unfortunately we probably didn’t have them all, but we had to move forward.
