Dundee
Wesley, Jordan and their team have everything you want in a wine tour company: direct industry experience, great personalities without over-doing-it-ness, and a comfortable, safe and luxurious ride. They can put together a highly personalized itinerary or just drive you where you want to go; adventure (hikes, golf, fishing and more), culinary options and airport transfers are also available.
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
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.
Dundee
This is the place you will wish you had one of back home. Casual, delicious breakfast and lunches with the wine country farm feel that we love most about this area. Also a great spot to grab provisions for a winery lunch: local cheeses, charcuterie, breads, desserts, wine, cider and beer.
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.
Dundee
Casually elegant restaurant in the heart of Dundee, next to Red Hills Market. Their fish & chips are to die for, the wine list superb, and the housemade pastas and woodfired pizzas are always on point. In terms of atmosphere, they have a beautiful patio for warm days and a cozy fireplace inside for chilly ones.
Dundee
We consider Stoller a must-do when visiting the valley, for their deep local roots, the gorgeous wines, stunner of a tasting room and sweeping vineyard views. This is our favorite “wine country happy hour” spot, with a bottle of rosé and a nice lounge in the adirondacks while taking in the view.
Carlton
One of the best views you’ll find in the valley, along with some of the most beautiful wines, and a truly stunning biodynamic estate. They have a cozy fireplace and host some of the best can’t-miss events.
Dundee
Beautiful small-production pinot and chardonnay, a gorgeous tasting room, the sweetest winery dogs, and warm, welcoming hospitality. Make sure to also try Chase’s Tuscan-made sangiovese.
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.
Amity
If riesling is your thing, Brooks can’t be missed, but they have a full lineup of pinot noir and other whites, too. They also have a really fun tasting room team, a great food menu, a stunner of a view, and a constant calendar of events. It’s always a really fun time there, making it our go-to spot with guests. Dog-friendly outside. Estate wines are biodynamic.
McMinnville
Fresh and delicious latin-american cuisine on Third Street. We love the tacos, taquitos, and chile relleno. Indoor and outdoor seating.
McMinnville
Winery in downtown McMinnville producing pinot gris, pinot noir, and a delicious rosé. It’s an especially good spot for enjoying the weather spring through fall on their beautiful patio. Open until 7pm on Friday and Saturday.
Newberg
If you’re a craft beer lover, this place can’t be missed. Wood-aged, wild yeast, farmhouse style beers made in an old wooden barn on a working family farm in Newberg. Tasting room open Friday through Sunday.
McMinnville
Our favorite breakfast spot with a great location right on Third Street. Try the hash (and say yes when they ask if you’d like a mimosa).
