Equinox 2026


Celebrating 20 Years of the Eola-Amity Hills AVA

Equinox 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, bringing together the wines, people, and perspectives that have shaped one of Oregon’s most distinctive winegrowing regions. This one-day celebration features intimate educational panels at Lingua Franca in the afternoon, followed by an evening Grand Tasting at Zenith Vineyard highlighting wines from across the AVA paired with culinary offerings from local chefs.

Equinox is designed for both wine professionals and engaged consumers seeking a deeper understanding of the Eola-Amity Hills, its history, its terroir, and its continued evolution.

Equinox is the primary annual fundraiser for the Eola-Amity Hills Winegrower's Association, the non-profit organization of producers, vineyards and associate members dedicated to the promotion of the image and identity of the Eola-Amity Hills as a top-quality wine region in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The Grand Tasting features a silent auction including exclusive weekend getaways and premium wine. All proceeds go to the Eola-Amity Hills Winegrower's Association.
