For the people doing the work of wine

WineNerds of Eugene

An industry-first Eugene club for winemakers, assistant winemakers, cellar crews, vineyard workers, servers, laboratorians, and serious hobbyists who want sharper tasting, better conversation, and stronger local connections.

Mission

A working wine community, not a fan club.

WineNerds of Eugene is built for the people inside and around the wine industry: winemakers, assistant winemakers, cellar and lab folks, vineyard workers, tasting room teams, servers, and serious hobbyists with real ambition. We gather to compare notes, taste with purpose, learn across roles, and strengthen the Eugene-area wine network.

Production-minded curiosity

Bring the questions that come from making, growing, pouring, selling, studying, and seriously chasing wine. The point is better thinking, not polished performance.

Across the local trade

We connect people from vineyards, cellars, labs, tasting rooms, restaurants, bottle shops, and ambitious home projects across Eugene and the Willamette Valley.

Serious, but not precious

This is for people who care deeply about wine and still want the room to feel generous, useful, and human.

Calendar
