Present Duties

The Oregon Wine Board was established as a semi-independent state agency in 2003. The board is charged with supporting enological, viticultural and economic research and the promotion of grape growing and winemaking in Oregon. Funds to support this work come from a mandatory tax of $25 per ton on grapes used to make wine and 2¢ per gallon on certain wines sold in Oregon.

 

Per statute, nine industry leaders are appointed to the Oregon Wine Board. The board members are owners or officers of a winery or vineyard organized or registered to do business in Oregon.
