Born from one of the longest road trips in the United States, Florida to the Pacific Northwest. In 1999 Damian Davis embarked on the cross-country trek for a new job in the tech industry. While en route, he found himself in the Willamette Valley during harvest and “the most beautiful ag-land I had ever seen”. By the time he reached his new home, his car was so loaded with bottles that he barely made it. After that, the pull of Oregon’s mesmerizing wine country was persistent. Damian found the Willamette Valley to be a Pinot lover’s dream, with its rolling green hills, iron-rich soils and cooling ocean breezes. He was so smitten, that in 2008 he left his tech career to pursue a new start in the wine industry and founded Portlandia.
