COVID19 has decimated the hospitality industry and wine tasting rooms are no exception.\u00a0 However, wineries who think outside the box and met the challenges of COVID19 with creative marketing are seeing great results. Willamette Valley Vineyards<\/strong> is one such winery.<\/p>\n When COVID hit and wineries closed down, Willamette Valley Vineyards<\/strong> (WVV) was in a unique position of having a stable of 20 winery ambassadors that were already in place and promoting nationally to wine enthusiasts, club members, and stockholders. WVV’s winery ambassadors are encouraged to design their own signature experiences and the program proved to be a lifesaver for the company. According to Winery Ambassador Dwight Povlika, they have been fortunate as their wine sales didn’t really drop off that much. With a menu of WVV elevated experiences<\/a> to choose from, Willamette Valley Vineyards is well-positioned to respond and adapt to changes necessitated by the pandemic.<\/p>\nWillamette Valley Vineyards Winery Ambassadors to the Rescue<\/h2>\n
