Oregon doesn’t do ordinary—and neither do its winemakers. A Very Indie Thanksgiving celebrates the spirit of Oregon’s fiercely independent wine community, where the winemaker is the brand. These are the small, hands-on producers who farm, crush, pour, and hustle for the love of the craft. No corporate labels. No glossy buyouts. Just the pure, unfiltered passion of people who make wine because they can’t imagine doing anything else.
Held the weekend before Thanksgiving in McMinnville, this gathering brings together a curated lineup of independent, boutique, and micro-wineries from across Oregon. Taste bold reds and surprising whites, meet the winemakers behind every bottle, and raise a glass to the grit and creativity that define Oregon wine. It’s a celebration of community, craft, and doing things your own way—the very definition of indie.
