Partnership

Supporting Future Wine Leaders

The Oak & Vine Society was originally created to connect the Linfield community and the local wine industry through partnerships and tastings. We have since expanded membership to include not just Linfield students, alumni and employees, but all wine lovers over the age of 21.

With the creation of the Acorn to Oak Wine Experience we have expanded the program to include a DTC Tasting Room, Retail, and Wine Club experience on 3rd Street McMinnville. Acorn to Oak purchases wine directly from our Oak & Vine Supporting Winery Partners to fuel this program. The Tasting Room is constantly growing while Linfield Students have the opportunity to work in a hands-on Hospitality and DTC environment pouring and selling Oak & Vine supported wines.

By joining Oak & Vine Society as a participating winery, you become part of a key group of people that support and connect with Linfield University's wine program students. All profits from Oak & Vine go to student support for Linfield's wine program.
