April Solar Drinks!
Solar Wineries - A Reflection of Values
at The Melody Ballroom, 615 SE Alder St
Doors Open at 6:30pm
Speaker at 7pm
Melody Ballroom's 21.12 KW rooftop solar electric system
Corey Omey of Ernest R Munch Architecture & Urban Planning, LLC will present the growing trend of local wineries “going solar.” This Solar Drinks is a must-see preview of Solar Oregon’s upcoming Solar Winery Tour!
Enjoy wine from solar winery Elk Cove and enter in our raffle for a chance to win a pair of tickets to the Solar Winery Tour.
A person who can produce an excellent bottle of Pinot Noir is usually well tuned to the ecology of their vineyard. Installing solar power and water systems on their winery buildings is a natural progression, and a reflection of their beliefs and standards of environmental stewardship. Many wine enthusiasts share these interests and convictions, which leads to the added benefit of marketing potential of these often visible solar power facilities. Wineries have set an example of how similar businesses can reflect their values through solar installations and environmental leadership.
