The program offers internships to teach wine production skills. Willakenzie Estate and Adelsheim have partnered for the first class, giving BIPOC people space in Oregon’s wine industry through “Our Legacy Harvested.” Last year, Compris Vineyard’s Tiquette Bramlett became the first Black female to oversee an Oregon winery. Even before then, she’s been working to increase the representation and equity around wine. In 2020, Bramlett founded “Our Legacy Harvested” (OLH) with a mission of educating, advancing, and empowering the BIPOC community with opportunities in the state’s wine industry. The inaugural class of four interns have been working with WillaKenzie Estate and Adelsheim Vineyard during for this year’s harvest. Raven Blake and Marcy Alcantar-Marshall were at Adelsheim for the past two months learning the ins and outs of wine production. Raven, Marcy, Denzel, Kim will graduate from the program on November 5 at a BIPOC block party hosted by OLH at MAC Market in McMinnville. Tickets are $20. The second class of OLH interns will begin in the spring and those eligible can apply at www.ourlegacyharvested.com. No prior knowledge or experience of wine is required.
