Willamette Valley Vineyards Inc

Willamette Valley Vineyards, trading as WVVI, is a small-cap Oregon winemaker known for premium Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Investors should know it operates direct-to-consumer channels — tasting rooms, wine clubs and an e-commerce platform — alongside wholesale distribution. Its brand is tied to the Willamette Valley American Viticultural Area, so vintage quality, weather and grape yields materially affect results. As a micro-cap company (market cap around $19 million), WVVI can offer growth exposure to a niche beverage producer but also carries higher volatility, limited trading liquidity and sensitivity to consumer trends and tourism. Costs for viticulture, supply chain and regulatory changes can affect margins. The share’s small size means financial reporting, capital access and strategic choices (for example, investment in vineyards or marketing) are especially important to monitor.
