Section 1 - Registrant's Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 12, 2005 the Board of Directors of Willamette Valley Vineyards,
Inc. (the "Company") approved the accelerated vesting (the "Acceleration") of
unvested stock options to purchase 130,750 shares of common stock previously
granted to employees and officers under the Company's 1992 Stock Incentive
Plan and 2002 Stock Option Plan with exercise prices of $1.46-$4.98 per share.
The Acceleration is effective as of December 23, 2005, and the exercise prices
of all the options vested were not changed.  Of the 130,750 shares subject to
the Acceleration, options to acquire 75,000 shares at an exercise price of
$3.29, are held by James W. Bernau, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and
options to acquire 31,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.76, are held by
James L. Ellis, the Company's Vice President and Secretary.

As a result of the Acceleration, the Company expects to reduce its exposure to
the effects of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS
No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees be recognized as
expenses in the statement of operations based on their fair values and vesting
periods. SFAS No. 123R is effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2005. The Company currently estimates that the Acceleration will
result in a reduction in stock-based compensation expense of approximately
$188, 265 in 2006 and in $122,658 in 2007, as well as a reduction in future
stock option administrative costs associated with complying with
SFAS No. 123R.
