Raising a Glass (and a Fork!) to Latino-Owned Businesses Making an Impact in Oregon

October 24, 2025

This week, we raise a glass (and a fork!) to several Latine-owned businesses from the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) whose dedication and craftsmanship reflect the best of who we are as a community — passionate, resilient, and proud.

Xicha Brewing — Salem, OR

More than a brewery, Xicha Brewing is a cultural hub where craft beer meets Latin American cuisine and community. Founded by a team of proud Latinos, Xicha celebrates the joy of gathering, sharing stories, and embracing heritage one pint and plate at a time.

From the vineyards and bakeries to cider houses and breweries, these Latine-owned businesses remind us how culture, tradition, and entrepreneurship intersect to enrich communities across the nation.

As we like to say at Silicon Valley Latino, Hispanic Heritage Month may officially end — but for us, the celebration continues 365 days a year. Let’s keep supporting the dreamers and doers who bring flavor, culture, and heart to everything they create.
