Description
About WillaKenzie Estate
We strive to produce wines of grace & finesse—wines that come across as effortless because the attentive farming practices and gentle winemaking hand behind them were anything but. With its range of benches, ridgelines, elevations, slopes, exposures, and clonal plantings, WillaKenzie Estate is one of the most diverse estates in the Willamette Valley. If the Estate is our soul, the WillaKenzie team is our heartbeat. We thrive on telling the story of our Estate’s six, highly varied neighborhoods – each of which brings a distinctive texture to our Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays. In addition to our warm and engaging culture, you’ll have the unique opportunity to work for a boutique, high-touch winery and tasting room, backed by the resources of one of the country’s largest wine companies, Jackson Family Wines.
