Wine Made Honestly.

Origin Stories.

Calloused Hands.

Passion.

Independent and Scrappy.

  • The Indie Wine Mixer has evolved to become a community event showcasing the up-and-coming, independent winemakers in Oregon (and Washington, too!)

    The Indie Wine Mixer is all about connecting with the very person who made the wine.

    This is not a vanity project.

    This is a livelhood.

What does it mean to be Indie?

Oregon is all about being “indie", particularly in the wine industry. The Indie Wine Mixer features the wines of independent, small, boutique, micro-wineries. In essence: The winemaker IS the brand. They do all the work, wear all the hats, and produce killer wines on a shoestring. These are not the wines of gentleman farmers, buyouts, or investment firms. These are the wines of people who love the struggle, the hustle, and getting dirty.

We currently host three Indie Wine Mixers each year; our flagship mixer is held over Memorial Day Weekend in McMinnville, with a Southern Oregon Mixer over Labor Day Weekend, & a Thanksgiving Mixer in McMinnville the weekend prior to Turkey Day. All three of these events showcase the wines and character of small producers who represent the “indie” ethos.
