Tiquette Bramlett, Board Chair

Tiquette Bramlett is the Founder of Henderson Ave Wines, a canned wine brand inspired by the street that raised her in the Bay Area — a place of open doors, shared stories, and community connection. Henderson Ave is dedicated to making wine approachable, inclusive, and inviting for all. Tiquette has been a member of the Willamette Valley wine community since 2015 and fell in love with the region’s wines while studying to become a sommelier. In May 2021, she became the first Black woman hired to lead a winery both in Oregon and the Country at Compris Vineyard (formerly known as Vidon Vineyard), and in May 2023, she was named Vice President of Chosen Family Wines, founded by NBA Champion Channing Frye.Through Our Legacy Harvested, the nonprofit she founded in 2020, Bramlett advances diversity and inclusion across Oregon’s wine industry with educational programs and a first-of-its-kind internship. Currently, she serves on the Executive Leadership Board of the University of California, Davis School of Viticulture and Enology, as well as the boards of Travel Portland and the Oregon Wine Board. Past board service includes the International Pinot Noir Celebration (IPNC) and the Assemblage Symposium.

Her leadership has earned national recognition, including Wine Enthusiast’s 40 under 40 Tastemakers 2021, named one of Portland Business Journal’s Class of 2022 40 Under 40, nominated for a Wine Enthusiast 2022 Wine Star Award for Social Visionary of the Year, named one of USA TODAY’s Women of the Year in 2023, named one of Portland Business Journals 2023 Women of Influence, and being presented with the Oregon Tourism Diversity, Equity, Accessibility and Inclusion Award at the 2023 Oregon Governor’s Conference on Tourism.
