Tiquette Bramlett

Tiquette Bramlett is the President of Oregon’s Vidon Vineyard and, in April 2021, became the first Black woman in the country hired to lead a winery. Bramlett began her studies to become a sommelier in 2015 and developed a passion for Willamette Valley wines.

In 2020, Bramlett founded a non-profit called Our Legacy Harvested, an organization dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusivity in Oregon’s wine industry. The non-profits’ mission is to educate, advance, and empower the BIPOC community at any career level so that tasting rooms, cellars, and vineyards will welcome and better represent the diverse world of wine drinkers and enthusiasts.

In addition, Bramlett is the Associate Director for Assemblage Symposium, a program for women and diverse groups in wine that inspires conversations about the challenges these communities face in the industry. She is on the board of IPNC (International Pinot Noir Celebration), Oregon Wine Board and Women in Wine.

Bramlett’s contributions to the industry and community have been recognized locally and nationally. In June 2021, Bramlett was included in Portland Business Journal’s “30 new Portland-area executives you should know” list. In August 2021, Bramlett was named one of Wine Enthusiast’s 40 under 40 Tastemakers 2021.
