AVP Wine Collective 2023 AVP Cabernet Franc Rosé

AVP Founder & CEO

Oregon’s reputation for high quality wine has increased dramatically over the last decade. As have the barriers to entry for small winemakers – particularly for winemakers who identify as women, LGBTQI+ or as people of color. Finding a well-run, well-equipped, and welcoming facility to make wine is one of the biggest challenges winemakers face today.

I created AVP with the mission of offering a safe and inclusive place for all winemakers - but particularly underrepresented winemakers - to gain a foothold in the Oregon Wine industry. Our 60,000-square-foot facility houses 10+ labels, which share winemaking equipment to produce their wines. Our community of winemakers are 40% women, 30% LGBTQI+, and 30% people of color.

As we grow, we are looking forward to providing both business and winemaking mentoring to a whole new generation of winemakers, including myself!

Alis volat propriis is Latin for "She flies with her own wings" — the state motto of Oregon. Not only significant for the amazing place we live in, but it also represents the foundations of AVP Wine Collective — encouraging and supporting winemakers to fly with their own wings.
