Plan Your Trip to the Top Wineries in Oregon
With so many wineries and appellations to choose from – each with its distinct flavor profile and personality – you won’t be able to do it all in a single trip to the Willamette Valley. With careful planning, though, and some thoughtful visits to the top wineries in Oregon, you can certainly leave with a heartfelt appreciation for the wines grown and produced in Oregon. Within our guide to the top wineries in Oregon, you’ll find some newcomers to the wine scene alongside some staple wineries that have long-standing reputations to rely on.
Though there are some big-name wineries here that you can find at local supermarkets near you, we love to focus our time on smaller producers and lesser-known wineries in Oregon in hopes of helping you discover those hidden gems you may otherwise miss. If this is your first trip to the Willamette Valley, you can’t go wrong with visiting places like Willamette Valley Vineyards, Argyle Winery, Domaine Drouhin, and Adelsheim Vineyard. For a more experienced connoisseur of the best wineries in Oregon, we have even more great choices for you to consider below.
- Ask around for recommendations of top wineries in Oregon to visit while you’re in the Willamette Valley, and odds are everyone will tell you to visit Stoller Estate. It’s in Oregon’s Dundee Hills Region, and not only are the wines delicious, but they are a leader in sustainably produced wine.
