Inspired by (but not beholden to) France’s beloved Beaujolais Nouveau celebration, our one-day festival brings the joy and energy of harvest to the heart of Oregon wine country with a uniquely local twist.

Every year, harvest workers and interns descend on the Willamette Valley to harvest the bounty of the vines, work hard for several weeks, and then complete the job without so much as a toast raised to their hard work. Winemakers go straight from the vineyards to the cellars to the tasting rooms.

We hope this festival can be our community’s “thank you” to all those who make this industry happen.

At its core, Newveau is about connection. Nick and Branden are always looking for ways to bring people together and build connections (and of course, have a heckuva time). We saw this as a chance for our community to come together with the winemakers, growers, harvest crews, and culinary artists who make this region thrive.

The festival invites everyone—from curious newcomers to lifelong wine lovers—to enjoy vibrant nouveau-style wine releases, cozy seasonal food, and the laid-back charm of a town that knows how to celebrate.

We honor the hard work behind the bottle—especially the harvest workers whose hands make the magic happen—and we do it in true Newberg fashion: warm, welcoming, and unpretentious. Come raise a glass with us on November 20, 2026 to those who make it all happen!
