Fourth Annual Queer Wine Fest

New this year, the festival will welcome its largest delegation of non-Oregon wineries in the event’s history, including California newcomers Capo Creek (Healdsburg) and Troix Noix (Napa Valley) and Washington’s SuLei Cellars (Walla Walla). First-time participants from Oregon include Maloof Wines and Proteus Wines, both Willamette Valley-based producers.

“Queer Wine Fest has always been about community collaboration and diverse representation,” said founder Remy Drabkin. “It’s encouraging to see winery participation growing year over year, and we’re excited to welcome new friends from California and Washington this summer.” Drabkin continued, “At a time when LGBTQ+ Americans are enduring repeated attempts to limit our civil rights and a culture of suppression that aims to dim our collective light, we will only shine brighter.” 

The 2025 winery line-up features returning favorites as well including: Augustina Cellars, Bryn Mawr Vineyards, Circadian Cellars, Elk Cove Vineyards, Franchere Wines, Fayette Vineyard, K&M Wines, Landmass Wines, Remy Wines, ROCO Winery, St. Innocent Winery, Vino di Famiglia, Westrey Wine Company, and Ze Cellars.

Queer Wine Fest raises funds in support of Wine Country Pride, a 501c3 nonprofit that creates visible celebrations of the queer community in rural Oregon while connecting all people through education and economic activity. A portion of all ticket sales from Queer Wine Fest will be donated to Wine Country Pride to support its larger mission.

Guests can expect to enjoy live music and a bountiful feast of international cuisine to accompany the festival-style walkaround wine tasting which will be limited to 200 guests. Camp Crush will return to headline the festival’s stage show – the Portland-based, new-age pop duo produced by Rian Lewis (Doja Cat, Gorillaz, Chromeo, D.R.A.M.) were featured among OPB’s Top 10 Sessions of 2019.
