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.
A Year-Long Celebration of Craft, Community, and Purpose
Starting this April, our tasting room will become home to a rotating lineup of twelve incredible artisans—each bringing their own creativity, flavor, and story to Brooks for a three-month stay. From ethical skincare and Haitian spices to small-batch cider, cheese, and coffee, every artisan has one thing in common: a commitment to something bigger than the product itself.
Whether they’re B Corp certified, part of 1% for the Planet, or diversity-founded or -led, these partners are walking the same path we are—one that values sustainability, equity, and community over shortcuts and status quo.
Each artisan residency includes:
- Featured products in the tasting room
- Menu items inspired by their ingredients or craft
- Pop-up events during their first month—think tastings, DIY workshops, hands-on classes, and more
And in November, we’ll bring all 12 makers together for a one-of-a-kind Artisan Market—a festive, community-focused celebration, just in time for the holidays.

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.
