In Short
For more than 30 years, Oregon vintners have worked hard to put Northwest wines on the oenophile map. Today Oregon has more than 100 wineries and 9,000 acres of vineyards. Visitors from Portland take Highway 99 south for about 15 miles, until they stop by Ponzi, Cooper Mountain, Beran and Oak Knoll. Towards Newberg and Dundee are such wineries as Erath, Adelsheim and Argyle. Down towards McMinnville are Sokol Blosser and Eyrie.

I felt like I was in Napa or Tuscany, only miles from Portland. Gorgeous scenery, great wine, and good food. What a surprise find. Loved the restaurants and wineries in Dundee the best, Carlton also very nice.

The ability to get up in the morning and decide you are going to spend the day wine-tasting is a treat we are lucky to enjoy. I have my favorite wineries, but always like to try a new one. The staff are almost always welcoming and knowledgable. Occasionally you get someone who thinks they are working in a California winery and aren't too friendly. Taking a picnic lunch is always great. The landscape is beautiful in spring and even better in the fall. Taking a map that includes open-close hours is a must.

This has become my favorite place to go! As a new resident to Oregon, I was in heaven when I discovered the wineries. The countyside is magnificent and you can fool yourself into thinking your in France. My advice is to take more time to discover the wineries off the main highway. The mile or two out of your way is definetely worth it!

When to Go:
Over Memorial Day and Thanksgiving weekend, most wineries open their doors to the public for tours and tastings.
Know Before You Go:
You may be able to get a map listing opening and closing times for several wineries; however, some of the smaller places are by appointment only, so you may want to call ahead no matter what.
