Willamette Cross Flow

Willamette Cross Flow was founded in 2008 in order to provide Oregon's wineries with access to the latest in cross flow technologies. With over 45 years combined experience in the wine industry, extensive experience with the use of cross flow filtering units, and an appreciation for the challenges of producing wine Oregon, WCF has a deep appreciation for the challenges of making wine in the Willamette Valley. 

 

Our mission is to provide the benefits of cross-flow filtration to the smaller producers in the Willamette Valley.  We believe that the benefits of cross flow microfiltration should be accessible to any winery, regardless of size.
