Here's a curated list of where to eat, go wine tasting, shop and more in Oregon's wine country: our personal travel guide to the places we love most in Willamette Valley (including Newberg, Dundee, Carlton, McMinnville and Amity) and Portland metro areas. This is a work-in-progress - much more to come!
Newberg
Delicious French-inspired options at approachable prices with warm, efficient hospitality. The wine by the glass list has lots of fun options at equally fun prices, so you can try a few new things. Our go-tos: the Fish & Chips, Crab Louie and whatever fresh fish Sean has on the menu that day. Lots of outdoor dining; open every day for lunch and dinner with brunch on the weekends.
Newberg
A gorgeously positioned cabin amidst the vines makes for the perfect tasting spot. We love that there’s lots of outdoor seating, a fireplace for rainy days, a perfect 10 of a cheese/charcuterie plate, a friendly hospitality team – and the wines are beautiful, too. Our guests receive member discounts, so make sure mention us when reserving.
Newberg
Thoughtfully and beautifully prepared seasonal dishes with a hint of a modern French feel. A great option for an elevated but not too fancy night out. Open for dinner, reservations required.
Newberg
One of our fave casual spots in downtown Newberg with a nice selection of craft beer pours, affordable wines by the glass and bottle, and bar bites (think nachos, soft pretzels and crostini). It’s a local and industry hang, too, so a great opportunity to experience more of this great community.
Newberg
After moving from their first location, Agrivino in Carlton, Chef Dario has set up in downtown Newberg and is serving up absolutely delicious Northern-Italian dishes with a fun schedule: five course wine paired dinner Thursday through Saturday, gnocchi and pizza on Sunday, and a salad and pasta menu on Monday. Lunch served Thursday through Saturday. Reservations required.
Newberg
Located near the northern end of Ribbon Ridge, this perfectly situated winery is producing elegant and beautiful Chardonnay and estate Pinot Noir. They have one of the best views in the valley, and a large picnic area where you can bring a meal, buy a bottle, relax and soak it all up.
Newberg
A dose of the Portland hip vibe right in downtown Newberg, with interesting and creative dishes with a local focus. We’re partial to the casual vibe of the tavern (head around the left side of the building to the back bar) and the Oregon wines on tap.
Newberg
Fine dining, but still cozy and comfortable. Rather than a table reservation, we prefer cozying up to the chef bar to watch all the action in the top-notch kitchen. The dishes are worth every penny, and the local wine list is hard to beat. An elevated lunch or high-end night out.
Newberg
To-die-for rosé, a stunning tasting room barn space, and a really fun family making it all happen. There’s also Gamay on the way, which is basically life-changing news. As an added bonus, they’re just minutes away from our Bungalow & Cottage homes in Newberg.
