Thanksgiving weekend Open House!
There will NOT be a Thanksgiving Open House this fall.
Although the new winery will be substantially complete by harvest 2007, the Event Center will not be finished in time for our Thanksgiving Open House. Until the entire facility is complete, we will not have an 'occupancy certificate' and can not do public events. We plan to have a Grand Opening celebration after the entire construction is finished. Our new winery is located at 5657 Zena Road NW, Salem, Oregon which is between Bethel Heights and Cristom wineries. Please watch for updates as things progress.
The old facility will be essentially empty and will NOT be open for tasting Thanksgiving weekend.
Our tasting room at the Tandem Avenue location will be open weekends from noon to 5 pm through mid-November.

Oregon Pinot Camp, Newbury, Dundee, McMinnville, Oregon area June 21-24, 2008
We will again be participating in this trade only event which takes place inthe later part of June each year. Pinot Camp is intended as an intensive introduction into Oregon wine for members of the wine trade - retailers, sommeliers, and distributer sales representatives. Invitation comes only from the host wineries and the more wineries that submit your name, the greater your chances of an invitation. You can contact me at markv@stinnocentwine.com. We participate in the Eola Hills Terroir Experience and winemakers dinner on Tuesday evening with Mark coordinating the food.
If you are a retailer so sommelier and wish to attend, please e-mail Mark in December or January with full and complete contact information.
