Daniel Barajas

At the tender age of 17, Daniel Barajas, a Mexican native, emigrated to the United States. After landing in Chicago, Illinois, he made the decision to relocate to McMinnville, Oregon, in search of a better area to raise a family. After working as a cook at a McMinnville restaurant, Daniel decided to pursue a career in agriculture. He began at Evergreen Farm, where he spent more than five years working in the Christmas tree and blueberry industries. Daniel then made the decision to advance his farming career by entering the wine business. His first employment was as a crew member at WillaKenzie Estate, where he assisted in the winery and worked as a crew member in the vineyard. Daniel was thereafter introduced to Results Partners, where he was offered the fantastic chance to start as a supervisor and advance to Vineyard Manager. Daniel has been in the wine business for more than 14 years and has worked for this company for more than seven years. The beautiful views of the Willamette Valley mesmerize Daniel and make him feel at peace.
