OWRI Grape Day

Due to the current safety risks and uncertainty of large, in-person gatherings, we will be holding a virtual Spring Seminar Series in place of our annual Grape Day event. The seminars will be held weekly, Tuesdays from 12:00-1:00 PM from May 11 to June 8. For more details, visit the website.      

Grape Day Research Event

Grape Day is our annual event highlighting research relevant to the Oregon wine industry. The goal is to provide industry members with an opportunity to network and discuss research with our researchers and invited speakers. There are five oral presentations, lunch, and an interactive poster session during the event. The information will be presented by members of the Oregon Wine Research Institute and guest speakers. The event is held on the beautiful Oregon State University campus in Corvallis, Oregon.
