You're Standing at the Heart of Pinot Noir Paradise.  Now What?

With over 100 wineries in just a 10-mile radius, the Northern Willamette Valley offers world-class wine tasting just 45 minutes from Portland—and choosing where to start can feel overwhelming.

That's exactly why we're here. As locals who've spent our lives in Oregon Wine Country, we don't just know where to find the best views and hidden gems—we connect you with the actual people who make the wines. The small producers whose passion emanates through every glass. Characters you'll carry with you long after the bottle is gone.

Whether you're a Portlander looking for the perfect Saturday escape, a Californian eager to experience our world-renowned Pinot Noir, or flying in from out of state for a long weekend, we'll help you discover the Willamette (Will-am-it) Valley at its best.
