Artisans in Residence at Brooks
At Brooks, we believe in the power of connection—between people, land, and purpose. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our inaugural Artisans in Residence series, a new program designed to spotlight Oregon’s most inspiring makers and amplify the values we share: sustainability, creativity, and community.
This series is a love letter to the makers. To the dreamers and doers who pour their values into their work. To the belief that great wine—and great anything—comes from caring deeply. We hope you’ll stop by, support these artisans, and leave feeling a little more connected to the people behind the products.
Community and Purpose
Our tasting room is home to the Brooks Artisan in Residence Program, a rotating showcase of inspiring makers who bring their creativity, flavor, and story to Brooks. From ethical skincare and Haitian spices to small-batch cider, cheese, and coffee, every artisan shares one thing in common: a commitment to something bigger than the product itself.
Whether B Corp certified, part of 1% for the Planet, or diversity-founded or -led, these partners reflect our values of sustainability, equity, and community over shortcuts and status quo.
Each artisan lasts three months and includes:
- Featured products in the tasting room
- Menu items inspired by their ingredients or craft
- Pop-up events like tastings, DIY workshops, and hands-on classes
And each December, we bring all of our artisans together for a festive Artisan Market—celebrating community, creativity, and connection just in time for the holidays.
Are you an artisan who shares these values and would like to partner with us? We’d love to hear from you.
Featuring
Now in Residence: Tillamook
We’re thrilled to welcome Tillamook Creamery as our July Artisan in Residence. Founded in 1909 as a farmer-owned cooperative on the Oregon Coast, Tillamook has spent over a century proving that exceptional dairy and deep accountability to land, animals, and community can go hand in hand. Certified B Corp. Six Stewardship Commitments. A simple conviction that doing things the right way makes everything taste better.
Like Brooks, Tillamook understands that what you put into the land comes back in the glass, or in this case, the wheel. This July, come taste two Oregon originals side by side in the hills of Amity. Biodynamic wine and artisan cheese, united by a shared belief that stewardship isn’t a footnote. It’s the whole story.

Don’t Miss: Hopworks
We’re excited to welcome Hopworks as an Artisan in Residence. Founded in Portland in 2007 by Christian and Brandie Ettinger, Hopworks is a family-owned, Certified B Corp brewery built on a simple but powerful idea: world-class beer, exceptional food, and a genuine commitment to sustainability and community. Nearly two decades in, that mission hasn’t wavered.
Like Brooks, Hopworks proves that doing business with integrity and doing it deliciously are not mutually exclusive. Come experience two Oregon originals together in the hills of Amity — craft beer and biodynamic wine, united by purpose and a love of place.
The Upcoming 2026 lineup includes:
July: Tillamook
Be the change.
At Brooks, we believe that good wine starts with being good to our planet and our people. We work just as hard at growing our grapes and making superior wine as we do at making tomorrow a better place for each and every one of us.
