One Barrel
The One Barrel Challenge symbolizes a collective dream of making our beloved wine industry more accessible and inclusive regardless of color, class, or creed.
Rooted in unity, collaboration and empowerment, each participant in the One Barrel Challenge has donated the equivalent of one barrel of wine (300 bottles) to the cause, with 100 percent of proceeds devoted to access and education in breaking down barriers in the wine industry.
With the goal of ensuring everyone who dreams of engaging with the Oregon wine industry is given an opportunity, each of the seven wineries, which range from 50-year-old heritage brands to new labels, share in their commitment to confront racism, injustice and the broken systems limiting underrepresented communities. In 2021, funds raised from wine sales benefited the Maurice Lucas Foundation, which honors late Trail Blazer and community pillar Maurice Lucas’ legacy in the Portland metro-area through its commitment to providing educational opportunities for marginalized communities.
All bottles of One Barrel are currently sold out. Join our list for updates!
About The Maurice Lucas Foundation
The Maurice Lucas Foundation was founded in honor of Maurice Lucas and his legacy of service to the Portland community. Fans knew Lucas as The Enforcer—a five-time NBA All-Star, the original power forward and former NBA champion Portland Trail Blazer and assistant coach. Portlanders remember Maurice for his character as much as his athletic achievements. He was passionate about giving back to his community and he lived that every day. He treated each person he met with respect. He was an active contributor to charitable organizations, and he volunteered countless hours to coaching and mentoring youth. The foundation stands as a continuation of Maurice’s dedication to empower Portland’s youth with opportunities for positive developmental growth through sport.
Growing Gardens
Cultivating Healthy, Equitable Communities
In honor of Earth Month each April we have pledged to donate 5% of all our April Rosé sales! Each year, we partner with Growing Gardens to increase resources for this incredible organization and support fresh food access for local families in need.
Growing Gardens is a non-profit organization, started in 1996 in Portland, Oregon. Their vision is for everyone to have equal access to healthy food and to be stewards of our own communities through sharing of resources, educating each other, and learning new skills. They impact the community through programs like Home Gardens, a three-year program that provides garden installations, seed starts, tools, and educational workshops to low-income families.
In addition to donating 5% of all Rosé sales in the month of April to Growing Gardens, we have also partnered with them in their brand new dinner series, Chef in Your Garden, sponsoring the April dinner with Magna! Chef in Your Garden is a collaboration of 12 local chefs telling their story, and showcasing the best of our Oregon bounty through a take-home dinner experience.
