Walnut City WineWorks was created in 1999 by John Gilpin and John Davidson. In keeping their focus on their wine-making background, they repurposed the original Willamette Valley Walnut Co. building. The old red building in the heart of historic McMinnville - once nicknamed Walnut City - is a winery that exudes the character of its past without pretension.

After more than 23 vintages, the WineWorks team still takes joy in the process of soils and vines producing grapes they turn into great wine.
