Welcome to VX Our wines are labelled "Vercingetorix" or "VX" for short. Vercingetorix's father brought his Celtic clan into Burgundy, the home of Pinot Noir, around 100 B.C. Vercingetorix became chieftain under the threat of Roman invasion. Vercingetorix united the clan against Caesar and the superior force of the Romans. Vercingetorix adopted a scorched earth policy sparing only the precious vineyards and his clan's most important settlement, Averticum. Vercingetorix is honored by the local Burgundians to this day for his efforts on behalf of the noble Pinot Noir grape.

Open Thanksgiving Weekend: Friday, Saturday & Sunday 11 AM – 5 PM – Great Food & Fun! 

Dear Customers and Friends of VX

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir growers are delighted with the 2008 harvest and that certainly includes VX (Vercingetorix). With harvest conditions perfect, a record crop and the promise of an exceptional vintage, we turn now to the wine making phase, with Jason Silva, our manager’s son, who is already an award-winning artist, as our winemaker.

Visiting our tasting room on the Thanksgiving weekend, you will find our offerings of prior years of Pinot Noir have only become better with age. But, we are especially proud of this year’s release of our 2006 Pinot Noir , which won a Bronze Medal in the 2008 San Francisco International Wine Festival from a field of 540 Pinot Noir entries. (This same wine has also won some very good recommendations in various Northwest wine publications.)

You will enjoy all of our Pinot wines – Noir, Gris and Blanc, with appropriate food pairings. And, we will have available our outstanding selections of oils and vinegars, and plain and chocolate covered hazelnuts from Willamette Farms. For those who want to get a fresh Christmas tree, you will have the opportunity to get a nice fresh one grown on the farm.

Please join us in our cheery surroundings, to start the holiday season. If you need a reminder for directions , visit our vxvineyard.com website or call us before coming:

Cheers, and greetings for the season,

Bruce M Hall, for VX (Vercingetorix) Pinot Wines and Willamette Farms
