Vineyard & Winery Census Background

As part of its research mandate, the Oregon Wine Board commissions an annual Oregon Vineyard and Winery Census. The annual census, conducted since 1981, collects data on harvest, production, and sales for the statewide wine industry. The information provided by wine and winegrape businesses enables the creation of a robust report of grape and wine production trends in Oregon, providing regional- and varietal-specific detail where possible. Since 2017, the Oregon Wine Board has contracted the University of Oregon’s Institute for Policy Research and Engagement (IPRE) to conduct this study.

For state & regional associations, the information in the report is used in a variety of ways, such as educating trade partners, informing advocacy messaging, preparing grant applications, and responding with data-based information to media inquiries. The information is also valuable to individual businesses in negotiating grape contracts, considering varietal trends, understanding sales channel performance, and other business planning applications.

The report includes:

  • Vineyard data:
    • Number of vineyards
    • Planted and harvested acreage
    • Yield
    • Tons harvested
    • Price per ton
    • Value of vineyard production
  • Winery data:
    • Number of wineries
    • Tons crushed
    • Sales by channel
    • Exported cases by destination market
