drinking wine, saving salmon

Erosion and runoff from hill side vineyards can bring silt into streams, reducing the ability of native salmon to spawn and thrive. That's why Salmon-Safe, in partnership with Low Input Viticulture and Enology and Oregon Tilth, is working with pioneering wine grape growers to protect important salmon watersheds and produce world class wine.

Salmon-Safe helps vineyards protect and restore salmon habitat by planting trees on streams, growing cover crops to control run-off, and apply natural methods to control weeds and pests. Vineyards that meet our rigorous standards earn certification, giving them the honor of using the Salmon-Safe label.

Look for the Salmon Safe label in your favorite wine shop or supermarket and get the satisfaction of knowing that your purchase is helping keep our rivers safe for salmon.

Salmon-Safe, with our certification partners at LIVE and Oregon Tilth, has certified more than a third of Oregon's vineyard acreage, mostly in the Willamette Valley.
